Sheryl Crow candidly shared how she learned that her ex-fiancé, Lance Armstrong, was dating a “real famous actress” while she was battling cancer in 2006.
“I was engaged, I had three beautiful stepchildren, I wanted to have kids with this person,” the “All I Wanna Do” songstress shared on Tuesday’s episode of Netflix’s “The Bobbycast” with host Bobby Bones.
“We split in the same week I got diagnosed with breast cancer, and I found out he was seeing a really famous actress.”
“I went through about nine months of radiation and grieving and anger,” Crow, 64, who didn’t say Armstrong’s name, stated.
The former road racing cyclist and the hitmaker started dating in 2003 and were engaged two years later.
However, they parted ways in February 2006 because of Crow’s desire to have kids when he wasn’t ready.
Armstrong detailed the breakup in his 2009 book “Lance: The Making of the World’s Greatest Champion,” writing, “She wanted marriage, she wanted children,” per Us Weekly.
“Not that I didn’t want that, but I didn’t want that at that time because I had just gotten out of a marriage, I’d just had kids,” he added, referring to his first marriage with Kristin Richard from 1998 to 2003, and their three kids, Luke, 17, and twins Grace and Isabelle, 15.
“Yet we’re up against her biological clock — that pressure is what cracked it,” Armstrong continued.
The former athlete tied the knot for the second time with Anna Hansen in 2022. They started dating in 2008.
The couple shares two kids, Wyatt, 9, and Levi, 6.
Additionally, Armstrong was previously romantically connected to “Real Housewives of Dallas” alum Cary Deuber in 2006, designer Tory Burch in 2007 and actress Kate Hudson in 2008, per the New Zealand Herald.
Crow, meanwhile, started her own family one year after her split from Armstrong in 2007, when she adopted her eldest son, Wyatt, and later Levi in 2010.
She also publicly dated musician Doyle Bramhall II from 2011 to 2014. She hasn’t been romantically linked to anyone else since.
