Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow Split Over Baby

In his upcoming book, Lance Armstrong reveals that he and ex fiancee Sheryl Crow split in 2006 because she wanted to have children -- and he didn't."She wanted marriage, she wanted children; and 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 [Luke, 9, and twins Grace and Bella, 7]," Armstrong says Lance (out in July), as excerpted by the New York Post. "Yet we're up against her biological clock -- that pressure is what cracked it."

Armstrong, 37, says that he and Crow, 47, even went to a counselor, "but really there's no way to counsel that situation.""If somebody wants a child -- man, that's the greatest gift you can give to a woman -- ... who are you to stand there and say I don't want one?" he says. "So we were at different points in our lives. We were not compatible on that issue."Adds Armstrong (who announced in December that he is expecting a baby with girlfriend Anna Hansen): "I felt like I wasn't ready ... I would have been in the future, but not then."In May 2007, the unwed Crow adopted a two-week-old boy, Wyatt.Of motherhood, Crow told Usmagazine.com this past February, "It’s great! I love every minute of it."

Anna Hansen Is the Mother of Lance Armstrong’s Baby

Anna Hansen, Lance Armstrong’s girlfriend. The couple just announced they are expecting a baby!Cancer survivor and cycling phenom Lance Armstrong is expecting a baby with girlfriend Anna Hansen. Lance froze his sperm prior to receiving cancer treatment in 1996, and he has three other children with ex-wife Kristin, who conceived using those frozen swimmers and in vitro. This baby with Anna is the first he’s conceived naturally. (Lance clearly has super magic sperm!) Anna is due in June 2009, and the couple is said to be “thrilled.”

I couldn’t find a ton of biography information on Anna Hansen. She is a Colorado native, and she graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a degree in Biology. She is a Program Manager and Recruiter for First Descents, an organization that provides whitewater kayaking and other outdoor adventure experiences to promote emotional, psychological and physical healing for young adults with cancer. She has been a volunteer at the Children’s Hospital in Denver and serves on the board of directors of Camp Wapiyapi, a foundation providing support for families with childhood cancer. She is an outdoor enthusiast and enjoys mountain biking and snowboarding.

Anna Hansen met Lance Armstrong through charity work, and they have been quietly dating since July 2008, shortly after his relationship with Kate Hudson ended. Their baby was unplanned (obviously), and indicates that after all these years, testicular cancer survivor Lance’s sperm are working again. This is rare and only happens to a small handful of survivors.
