It is possible but a bad idea unless you want two almost independent personas and a management headache..

"How many Apple IDs do I need?

Just one. Use the same Apple ID everywhere you sign in to ensure that all your Apple services and devices work together seamlessly and you can access your personal content from all your devices."

Sometimes this isn't a question, "Can I have two Apple IDs?" but instead, "How do I do XYZ on my two devices?"
