I see no reason they should be (they come from different planets), but if so, how can they have children?
Answer
Anakin is human.
“To be angry is to be human,” Padmé assured him.
“To control your anger is to be a Jedi,” Anakin was quick to reply, and he pulled away from her and stood up, turning to face the open door and the desert beyond.
Padmé was right there beside him, draping her arms about him. “Shhh,” she said softly. She kissed him gently on the cheek. “You’re human.”

And so is Padmé:
Armies … Jar Jar had spoken of armies. He seemed sure that his people would fight. Perhaps if the Humans of Naboo had cooperated more with the Gungans, the Trade Federation’s invasion would not have succeeded so quickly and easily. Perhaps even now, if they all cooperated … But that would mean starting a real war. The Trade Federation invaded us. Talking and diplomacy haven’t helped. Sometimes … sometimes you just have to fight back.

It therefore makes perfect sense that they can interbreed since humans are pretty common in the Star Wars universe.
Frankly, what makes far less sense is why someone like Padmé would fall for such a whiny man-child as Anakin, but that's a whole 'nother question.
