When somebody hears the words "alpha female", they usually picture a masculine looking woman with a bad temper and big muscles. That is the exact opposite of what alpha females are and what they represent. Alpha females are described as intelligent, smart, dominant, strong and confident women. They are excellent problem solvers and hard workers. They are sarcastic and playful because they know that they have the power. They are excellent with challenges and change. They are risk takers and live with purpose.

Their passion and drive can be a very attractive quality which is why many men go after strong, independent women and do not mind handing over the responsibilities to them. This is also true in the case of celebrities and it becomes even more important since they always remain in the limelight. That is why we did some research and put together this list of 20 celebrities who are dating alpha females.

We all know and love our Carrie Bradshaw. That character is played by none other than Sarah Jessica Parker. Other than her famous character, she got quite a reputation as the boss lady. She is not only a prominent actress, but she's built quite an empire for herself in the fashion industry too. Her husband, Mathew Broderick, on the other hand, has also created a name for himself in the acting and music industry but his achievements still pale in comparison to those of Sarah. She has her own fashion line and has worked with multiple big names in the industry. She recently designed a collection with GAP kids. She has quite the reputation for being a hustler.

She started from scratch and worked her way to the top. She's now a world-famous chef and an author of several cook books. She was a victim of domestic violence by the hands of Saatchi which was proved when pictures of Saatchi trying to choke Lawson were published. The marriage ended in a divorce, however, she never let that describe herself and turned her misfortune into fortune.

Adele came from a small town in England where she did not have access to many opportunities, however. she held on tightly to the one opportunity that she did get.

Jay-Z And Beyoncé

Beyoncé is really the woman every woman tries to embody. She is the perfect example of an alpha woman. She was in a girl band initially but later she decided to start her solo career and we think it was the best decision that she has ever made. Beyoncé has multiple Grammy awards under her belt among many others. She is the epitome of success and is among the world's bestselling artists. Now only somebody who works hard and makes risky choices and explores all aspects of something can achieve this level of success. She is an alpha, one that the music industry cherishes and holds very close to their hearts. Together, she and Jay-Z are also the richest music celebrities on the planet which is quite an achievement.

James Righton And Kiera Knightley

James Righton has created a name for himself in the English music industry, but it doesn’t really stand up to the career that his spouse, Kiera Knightley has built over the years. It was reported that James earned not even a quarter of what his wife Kiera earned on over a year. James’ company made £14,844 while Kiera earned a whopping £4.1million. There is a clear shift of what’s happening when it comes to the person who brings home the bread. Many men are taking the back seat while they let their wives shine. And it is not even frowned upon either. Now that people are acknowledging women and their rights, they are more than happy to let them assume their power and work as they may like. Kiera certainly has it all figured out and dominates the house.

Tom Brady And Giselle Bundchen

Gisele got her big break in modeling after she walked for Alexander McQueen. Shortly after that, she landed the cover of British Vogue and soon after she was named world’s richest supermodel by Forbes. She is endorsed by multiple big names like Chanel and Oral-B.

Despite enjoying a huge fan base and tons of fame, last year, Gisele earned £30.6 million ($47milllion) while Tom only made £20.4 million ($31.3 million).

He played his character so well that he was later put on as a permanent on the show. He did mention in an interview that there were times when he used to be under his wife's shadow and had to hold her purse and that people would usually look right through him. It's quite sad that their marriage had to end up in a divorce.

Justin Theroux And Jennifer Aniston

Everybody knows and loves Jennifer because of her role as Rachel in the famous season Friends. Friends was one of the most popular shows ever created and it was a household name. At one point, it was earning Jennifer a whopping $1 million per episode, making her one of the highest paid actresses of all time. While Justin did many acting roles in movies and is also a screenwriter, his earnings are considerably low than his fiancé. He was a screenwriter for movies like Rock of Ages and Zoolander, films that have enjoyed great popularity over the years.

He also runs a designer jewelry business that sells high-end luxe jewelry. She is an incredible woman who knows how to get what she wants.

Gavin Rossdale And Gwen Stefani

Later down the line when Gavin's band dismantled, Gwen and her band went on creating music for a few more years. Later, they went on a hiatus and she produced her first single Holla Back Girl that went on to be the No.1 song on Billboard, which was quite an achievement. Since then, she has produced numerous albums and has also ventured into the fashion industry. She is estimated to be worth in the region of £65 million ($100 million). She has worked super hard to climb her way up the success ladder and everyone can clearly see that she has what it takes to be a dominant personality.

Danny Moder And Julia Roberts

The couple met all the way back in the 2000's. Danny was an accomplished cameraman and he had worked on films like Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Spiderman and Mona Lisa Smile, all movies that enjoyed critical acclaim at the box office. Since then, Moder has become more of a cinematographer and has worked on documentaries and such. Danny is considered successful in Hollywood, but he does not even come close to what his wife Julia is earning. She can demand as much as $25 million per film and she’s one of the highest paid actresses in the world. Julia Roberts is estimated to be worth in the region of £110 million ($170 million) and has super control on her life. She lives it and she owns it.

Don Gummer And Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep is Hollywood and she is what Hollywood stands for. She is one of the most eminent figures in the industry, having worked on numerous historical movies and projects. She really encapsulates what this industry is about. She is an alpha woman because her work ethic is unparalleled. She is a hard and persistent worker.

Gummer is also one of the most famous sculptors out there, having his work featured in countless museums and even sculpting a piece for the city of Indianapolis. The couple is still going strong even to this day. By Meryl’s body language and the way that she presents herself when she is with her husband, it’s clear to see that she is the alpha female in the relationship.

Caitlyn Jenner And Kris Jenner

Yes, we know. People have many reservations about the Jenner/Kardashian names. Despite the fact the Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce, has really shot to fame in recent years because of her entire gender ordeal, we must admit that there is no bigger boss lady than Caitlyn’s spouse, Kris Jenner herself. She turned a single tape to an empire. People in Hollywood say that Kris has put Calabasas on the map. Which is almost quite true. She works tirelessly and more importantly, she manages all of her 5 daughters’ careers. It does sound crazy, but Miss Kris Jenner does it all. There is nothing that can't be done once Kris puts her mind to it. And that is the biggest trait of an alpha woman.

Rodger Berman And Rachael Zoe

Rodger Berman was the main man behind The Rachel Zoe Project and Fashionably Late with Rachel Zoe. He tied the knot with Rachel on February 14, 1996, and the couple has been together since. On the other hand, Rachel is a renowned fashion designer and loved by many. She has worked with numerous brands and celebrities during her career. This has allowed her to build an empire for herself, which is usually one of the first indicators of an alpha female. Her clothing sense is wonderful, and it always includes bold accent pieces. The reason for adding such pieces is she says, “I feel like these pieces are a woman's armor and they show that she's the boss.” Her work ethic speaks through her creations and the numerous projects that she has undertaken. They show hard work and dedication on her part which is proof that she clearly has the ball in her court in the marriage.
