Woman Famous
Couples: Match or
Mistake?

COMPATIBILITY

Do Cancer and Libra couples make a good match?

Let’s look at some Cancer man and Libra woman
famous couples. This is a Water and Air sign
combination that doesn’t bode well.

Cancer is warm, shy and sensitive. Libra is logical,

judgmental and wise. Unlike Fire/Air combinations
or Water/Earth, Air and Water don’t need each
other. However, look beneath the immediate
surface and this couple have much in common.

Both gravitate towards getting married, or at least,

in Libra’s case, Tnding a romantic partner. Cancer
longs for the security they felt growing up. Libra
feels unbalanced without a partner.

Let’s discover if these signs are truly compatible

based on celebrity love lives.

Overview:
Cancer and Libra
Couples
Ruled by the Moon, emotions govern Cancer.
Libra’s ruling planet is Venus, symbolizing Love.
This means Libra tolerates Cancer’s mood swings,
more so than any other sign. Pair this with Libra’s
innate kindness and patience and Cancer and
Libra could make a good match.

However, Libra looks at logic and facts in decision-

making. Librans are direct and sometimes blunt in
their delivery. Crabs walk sideways; there’s nothing
direct about them.

Libra and Cancer have differences over money

too. Libra loves the Tner things in life, Tlling its
home with beautiful art, luxurious textures and
expensive furnishings. They like to show off.

However, Cancer worries about its future. They’re

not as frugal as Capricorn, but they want Tnancial
stability. One thing they do hate is wasting money
on pointless purchases.

Cancer and Libra are not a match made in heaven.

However, if they compromise, this relationship
might work. They must value each other. Cancer
needs to be needed and Libra demands total
devotion from her partners.

Gender appropriation is important here too. The

relationship compatibility is much better between
a Cancer man and Libra woman. Cancer is
charming, with a sensitive heart and a sentimental
soul. Libra is level-headed, emotionally reserved,
but gregarious.

Because of this, we need the masculine element

for Cancer and the feminine touch for Libra. As a
result, Libra man and Cancer woman compatibility
is much more di1cult.

9 Cancer Man
and Libra
Woman Famous
Couples

1. Elon Musk and

Talulah Riley
Cancer man Elon Musk might be the richest man
on the planet, but true to his sign, he’s no player.
After his relationship with the actress Amber
Heard ended, he said,

Horoscope Astrology Open

“I’m not looking for a one-night stand. I’m looking

for a serious companion or soulmate.”

He thought he’d found one with British actress

Talulah Riley. Musk let his emotions rule his
decision-making, which is a typical Cancer trait,
and married Riley after a whirlwind romance in
2010.

ADVERTISEMENT

···

The marriage ended, and the couple separated

after a few years. But Libra’s optimism and charm
won over this Cancer man, and they remarried.

Riley even put her career on hold to look after

Musk’s Tve children (he adored this as a Cancer
man). Sadly, the relationship broke down again,
but the two remain loyal friends.

2. Richie Sambora and

Heather Locklear
Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora married US
actress Heather Locklear in 1994. The marriage
lasted nearly 13 years, producing a daughter.

It is a testament to their ongoing friendship that

Sambora has publicly shared his support for his
ex-wife as she struggles with addiction issues. In
2018, police arrested Locklear and EMTs were
called to her home following a disturbance.

ADVERTISEMENT

···

An intoxicated Locklear threatened to shoot

herself after attacking a police odcer. Police
released Locklear on bail and she subsequently
checked herself into a rehab center. Although
Sambora and Locklear are no longer together,
there is much love between this Libra Cancer
couple.

3. Nelson Mandela and

Winnie Mandela
This famous Cancer man and Libra woman couple
deTne the meaning of love in the face of adversity.
Nelson Mandela had always been active within the
ANC, but after his arrest, Winnie took on his Tght
against apartheid.

Perhaps her Libran sense of justice and fairness

gave her the strength to support her husband. And
despite being incarcerated, Nelson would have
faith that his wife remained loyal.

In fact, this marriage may have worked so well

because the two were apart for so long. They both
had a cause and a greater meaning to their
marriage than mere love.

ADVERTISEMENT

···

It is interesting to note that they separated two

years after odcials released Nelson from prison.

4. Naomi Watts and Billy

Crudup
Actors Watts and Crudup met during the Tlming of
the Netgix show Gypsy in 2016. Watts had just
come out of a long-term relationship with fellow
actor Liev Schreiber and Crudup was also single.

Use this tool to check whether he actually is

who he says he is
Whether you're married or have just started
seeing someone, inTdelity rates are on the rise
and have increased over 40% in the last 20
years, so you have all the right to be worried.

Perhaps you want to know if he's texting other

women behind your back? Or whether he has
active Tinder or dating proTle? Or worse yet,
whether he has a criminal record or is cheating
on you?

This tool will do just that and pull up any

hidden social media and dating proTles,
photos, criminal records, and much more to
hopefully help put your doubts to rest.

···

This Cancer-Libra famous couple is private about

their relationship, but the family is very much front
and center with this pair.

As a Cancer man, Crudup has naturally become

involved in Watt’s children’s lives. Talking about
relationships, in an interview he conTrmed his
Cancer star sign when he said:

“I’m happiest when I’m in a relationship, for sure.

And I have great faith that I’m going to Tnd one to
persevere with.”

5. Dan Aykroyd and

Carrie Fisher
Reading between the lines, you could think that
Carrie Fisher was the love of Dan Aykroyd’s life.
The pair met during a recording of Saturday Night
Live in 1978.

ADVERTISEMENT

···

Akroyd fell immediately for Fisher and asked her

to marry him after she choked on a Brussels
sprout. The pair became engaged, but Fisher was
already in an on-and-off again romance with
singer and Libra man Paul Simon.

As a Libra woman, Fisher might not have had a

problem balancing both men in her life.

Unlike any other zodiac sign, Librans weigh up the

pros and cons of a situation. They see things in
black or white, good or bad, happy or sad.

Cancerians are much more nuanced and governed

by emotions. It makes complete sense that as a
Cancer man, Akroyd opened his heart to Fisher.
She looked at both men and, as a logical Libran,
chose the best partner for her.

6. Vanessa Marcil and

Corey Feldman/Brian
Austin Green
Libra woman and US actress Vanessa Marcil has
a thing for Cancer men. She was married to the
Cancer man and actor Corey Feldman for around 4
years before hooking up with her cast mate actor
Brian Austin Green.

The couple had a son, but they split up just three

years later. Meanwhile, an ongoing custody battle
has become a contentious issue between the
two.

Both have accused the other of not parenting their

child and suing for child maintenance. As a
Cancer man, family is paramount for Green, so it’s
easy to see why this situation rankles him so
much.

However, as a Libra woman, Marcil will want the

truth to be known as she seeks justice for her son.
I’m not surprised that this has caused such
acrimony between this Cancer man and Libra
woman famous couple.

7. Willem Dafoe and

Giada Colagrande
Some Libra women Cancer men famous couples
are perfect for one another. Take Italian Tlmmaker
and actress Giada Colagrande and the US actor
Willem Dafoe.

Colagrande is 20 years younger than Dafoe, but he

showed none of Cancer’s natural caution when he
asked her to marry him. I mean, when you know
you know.

What makes this pair different from all the other

famous Cancer and Libra couples is their equal
partnership. Libra always needs balance, or at
least, help to balance life.

ADVERTISEMENT

···

Cancer men are all about stability and security.

Libra women have a strong sense of right and
wrong and are independent beings. This attracts
Cancer men as they want a partner on an equal
footing. Here’s a quote from Colagrande that
sums up their relationship:

“The collaboration I’ve got with Willem is ideal…

Intense, pure, without interference.”

8. Sam Mendes and

Kate Winslet
Power couple Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet met
in 2001 when the British actress was still married
to Tlmmaker Jim Threapleton. Director Mendes
was interested in casting Winslet in a play he was
directing.

The two hit it off and married on the spur of the

moment in 2003. Winslet was two months
pregnant with their son and had a daughter from
her previous marriage.

ADVERTISEMENT

···
This Cancer man and Libra woman decided early
on that they wanted to give their children a
‘normal’ upbringing. Winslet said:

"As a family we do normal things that other

families would. It's important to us that the
children are just regular kids, so we go to the park,
kick a ball around, go to a museum, watch a movie
together or just hang out at home playing
Monopoly."

However, the marriage didn’t last and the two split

in 2010. There are rumors as to why these two
signs separated. One is that Mendes became
jealous of Winslet as he directed her love scenes
with Leonardo Di Caprio on Revolutionary Road.

However, towards the end of their marriage

Mendes grew close to actress Rebecca Hall and
this upset Winslet. Sources close to the couple
report Mendes saying “people can't be inspired by
just one relationship. For me, it's never going to be
about one relationship... life is a series of
relationships.”

9. Jenna Elfman and

Bodhi Elfman
I’ve left my ultimate example of Cancer man Libra
woman famous couples until last to give all
Cancer and Libra couples some hope. So far, the
Cancer man and Libra woman compatibility hasn’t
been great.

Cancer is one of the most romantic signs in the

zodiac and easily hurt. Libra is a social buttergy
with a wide social circle of good friends. What
makes this such a compatible marriage is the
deep connection between Cancer man Bodhi and
Libra woman Jenna.

At Trst glance, this Cancer and Libra couple looks

a little mismatched (something a Libra would
hate). Jenna is tall, gorgeous and statuesque and
Bodhi is shorter and, well, a little ordinary-
looking.

However, you only have to look at media

photographs of the couple to see that Cancer man
is content to let his Libra girl take center stage.

ADVERTISEMENT

···

The actors met in 1991 during the Tlming of a

commercial. The pair hit it off immediately and
married in 1995. These two individuals have two
children and a loving relationship based on mutual
values and respect.

Talking of successful relationships, famous

Cancer man and Libra woman couples are a real
mixed bag. On the one hand, many Libra-Cancer
couples split up but remain loyal friends. We have
several examples of this in Dan Aykroyd and Carrie
Fisher, Richie Sambora and Heather Locklear, and
Elon Musk and Talulah Riley.

···

These famous couples show that Cancer and

Libra friendship compatibility is high.

Some split acrimoniously, like Vanessa Marcil and

Brian Austin Green.

However, look at Willem Dafoe and Giada

Colagrande, and Jenna and Bodhi Elfman. These
Cancer Libra famous couples are a perfect match.
So why does their relationship work so well, and
others fail?

Cancer Man and Libra

Woman Compatibility
Cancer and Libra couples face obstacles to their
combined happiness. A Libra woman is
independent, ruled by logic, opinionated, clever
and warm. A Cancer man is sensitive, emotional,
loving, cautious, witty and affectionate.

Cancer is one of the Cardinal signs ruled by the

Moon, symbolized by the Crab and governed by
Water.

Libra is also a Cardinal sign, ruled by Venus,

symbolized by the Scales and governed by Air.

Cancer and Libra

Di#erences
Cancer is introverted, interested in self-regection
and just a little self-absorbed. A Cancer partner
strives for a deep emotional connection, whereas
Libra is happy with what’s on the surface. Why go
deep when everything looks so perfect?

ADVERTISEMENT

···

People and facts interest Libra, not navel-gazing.

Libra is the ultimate networker. Librans make
excellent judges because they must adhere to the
law. Cancerians make insightful psychiatrists as
they enjoy the challenge of probing the mind.

Libra loves harmony either socially or

aesthetically. Libra is the host you want at a party
as they git from one guest to another, making
small talk and bringing people together. This sign
is extroverted and able to make everyone feel at
ease.

Can you imagine the Crab in the same situation?

This introvert prefers one-on-one deep and
meaningful conversations. Cancer doesn't do
small talk. And certainly, don’t ask them to host an
event. They’ll scuttle away and hide in their
protective shell.

Just take another look at the Cancer men and
Libra women on my famous couples’ list. In most
cases, the men are in the background, letting their
partners take the spotlight.

A good example is Nelson and Winnie Mandela.

Odcials literally locked Nelson away (under his
crab shell?) and Winnie had to step into the
limelight.

Jenna Elfman is a well-known US actress, but

could you put a face to her Cancer man partner
Bodhi? Kate Winslet is far more recognizable than
her ex-husband director Sam Mendes. And I had
to do an image search for Billy Crudup to see what
he looks like.

Of course, this is not scientiTc proof that Cancer

man and Libra woman stick to particular roles
within their relationship.

However, what is striking is how many of these

famous couples have split up. Is Cancer simply
too sensitive for logical Libra? Is Libra too
passionate for romantic Cancer?

Unsuccessful famous
Cancer and Libra
relationships
Cancer is a born worrier. Libra worries too, but
these two zodiac signs worry about different
things.

ADVERTISEMENT

···

Cancer is concerned with himself, whereas Libra

frets about good friends and family. Libra can
cope with personal problems in a way that Cancer
cannot. Moon folk are an introverted and
emotional bunch. Venus people are extroverted
and bursting with love for everyone.

Cancer and Libra suffer from very different

ailments. Cancer’s tendency to focus on
themselves can affect their emotional and mental
health. Libra’s penchant for hedonistic living can
lead them down the path of substance or alcohol
abuse. Just look at Richie Sambora and Heather
Locklear. Police arrested an inebriated Locklear as
she threatened emergency workers.

Why Cancer Man

and Libra
Woman Are
Incompatible
As far as Cancer man and Libra woman
compatibility go, there are three main issues.

ADVERTISEMENT

···

Decision-making:
Emotions vs Logic
Emotions rule Cancer, and logic governs Libra.

As a Moon sign, Cancer is ultra-sensitive over the

tiniest little thing. Libra’s ruling planet Venus
provides patience and tolerance, but to a point.
That’s not to say Libra women are cold-hearted or
without compassion. Eventually, with time, rifts
become apparent and even the diplomatic Libra
girl will become irritated.

ADVERTISEMENT

···

Finances: Save vs
Spend
If these two signs can overcome their differences
with money, the Cancer man and Libra woman
compatibility will improve. Money is a bone of
contention between these two cardinal signs.

Financial security is worryingly important to

Cancer man. Libra woman has a more of a
laissez-faire attitude to money. Cancer man values
emotional and Tnancial security. However, Libra
woman likes to surround herself with beautiful
things. After all, why leave something for the best
when you can enjoy it right now?

Attitude: Pessimistic vs
Optimistic
Librans are the world’s biggest optimists. They
believe they’re lucky; they have a positive outlook
and see obstacles as opportunities. Cancerians
are cautiously pessimistic, and there’s nothing
wrong with that because most of the time they’re
pleasantly surprised at how life turns out.

···

However, a Cancer man’s natural wariness will

eventually wear down a Libra woman.

How Can You

Improve Libra
Woman and
Cancer Man
Compatibility
Cancer and Libra are such opposite zodiac signs
I’m surprised they ever meet. But there’s
something about a Cancer man that attracts the
feisty Libra woman. His eyes sparkle with
kindness and he genuinely values her opinion. As
a true feminist, an evolved Cancer man who
believes in equality just as she does, catches Libra
woman off-guard.

ADVERTISEMENT

···

Libra woman enchants Cancer man. He’s met so

many airheads in his time, he Tnds her company
refreshing and intellectually challenging.

I think independent women like Giada Colagrande

do not threaten Willem Dafoe. He cherishes them
and supports their endeavors. Libra women are
Tercely independent, but they also like the security
a Cancer man provides them with. Cancer men do
not stige their partners; they know they need a
certain amount of freedom.

FAQs
What’s the happiest
Cancer man Libra
woman celebrity
example?
The happiest Cancer man Libra woman famous
couple is Willem Dafoe and Giada Colagrande. US
actor Defoe is older than his Italian Tlmmaker wife
and he understands that for a marriage to work,
compromise and a certain amount of freedom are
required. Libra women are the ultimate feminists
and won’t stand for a sniff of inequality.

What’s the most

scandalous Cancer man
Libra woman celebrity
couple?
You can’t get more scandalous than Brian Austin
Green and his ex-wife Vanessa Marcil. The battle
over custody of their son is as contentious as you
might think. For Cancer man Green, his son is
everything, but the accusations of him being a
deadbeat dad, Tred at him from Marcil, would
deeply hurt him. These two will never be great
friends and there are constant signs this drama is
far from over.

Are Cancer and Libra

compatible?
Cancer leads with its feelings, whereas Libra uses
cold, hard logic. One is emotional, the other is
factual. However, both have a great sense of
humor and long for the stability of a family unit.
Cancer craves the security of a long-term
relationship. Libra feels unbalanced without a
partner.

If these two can compromise and see the value in

each other, they may learn and grow together.

 ···

Conclusion
Cancer man and Libra woman are not natural
bedmates, but opposites attract. Perhaps Libra
woman and Cancer man compatibility depends on
each partner appreciating the qualities the other
possesses.
