LANCE Armstrong is blaming the constant tick, tick, ticking of Sheryl Crow's biological clock as the key factor in their break-up three years ago.
In "Lance," out in July from Da Capo, the Tour de France legend tells author John Wilcockson that after he and the sexy rocker were engaged in 2005, two weeks before her 44th birthday, their relationship became "kind of a struggle."
"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, Grace and Bella]," Armstrong, 37, reveals. "Yet we're up against her biological clock -- that pressure is what cracked it."

Perhaps she should’ve focused on nesting a family before she reached middle age.
sounds like a half court shot at the buzzer....
“Well, yeah that, and her measuring the toilet paper left on the roll to see how much I used every single time...”
Armstrong also elaborated, “More than anything, though, was her bizarre insistence on using only one square of toilet paper to wipe with. Well, I’m a man! I have needs, too!”
This guy is personally despicable, I respect is achievements, but I despise the nonchalant attitude he portrays regarding divorce. Why are we supposed to care about your relationship with Sheryl Crow, a home wrecking liberal harlot....
Personally, I think it was the “one square” issue.
Yech.
it was because of the tp. just admit it, lance.
She should have heard that ticking before she turned 44. That clock has about tocked.
Seriously, this is the mess women’s-lib has gotten too many women into. Put off having children until you’ve had your career. They never mention it is much more difficult to have a child in your 40s (or 30s for that matter) than it is in your 20s. A lot of women that wanted children never were able to have them because they followed the feminist forumla of having a career first, then children.
Maybe Lance is more a cat person than a dog person.
Gasp! Are you crazed? If women focus on families, where will America get fighter pilots? What will become of the nanny industry?? You need to rethink this, If God wanted women to focus on their children before middle age.....well, he would have...... Oh, nevermind.
didn’t she end up with a kid anyway..somehow?...some way?
“I’d just had kids “
HAD?????
Who cares celeb worship is OVER, and they’re libs..
‘...and I’d get these really mean looks whenever I wanted to have a burger or a steak...”
I dont know much about him, but i wondered what kind of guy would want to marry Cheryl Crow. He seems to be falling into that hollywood lifestyle,,,,
I think she got the raw end of this deal....why did he get engaged if marriage wasn't the end result? From all the "stars" Lance has been out with, I think he thinks he's God's gift to women.
She ended up adopting a little boy, who is now almost 18 months.
This is three years ago. What, there wasn’t enough publicity to suit him? Just another reason why so many in Austin can’t stand him.
and the one square thing would have really grossed me out.
Sad commentary on society that the breakup of two unimportant, narcissistic celebrities three years ago still attracts so much interest.
And he wanted “Stinky Finger” to use more than one sheet of Charmin.
She was funky!
She should have stuck with Eric Clapton.
No wonder she plays the guitar so well...for a woman.
Boy, am I gonna get flamed!
Poor naive Cheryl Crow? The babe in the woods, oh please!!
She rose to the top in that mean entertainment industry culture. She was playing him as much as he did her. If she had an ounce of morals, she would be married today. I bet she’s *surrounded* by lots of nice blue collar guys who would be solid, long term and loyal, just what women say they want. They work the sound boards, the audio equipment, they drive the trucks, they negotiate the contracts with promoters and do 1000 mundane jobs all around her.
They are invisible to her, she only wants a star at least at her level. Typical.
However, given your frightening screen name, maybe i should just agree with you! (gulp)
Sounds like Sheryl had no interest in being “Stepmother” to someone else’s kids.
Well said, “two unimportant narcissistic celebrities”,,,
In short this was a successful engagement.
She has a man-face..............
I thought they broke up because he wanted to use more than two squares of toilet paper.
Quite possibly the dumbest post I've ever read on FR.

Lol. Can you paint these women you speak of with a more broader brush.
You sir, no nothing about women.
Yours was the best post of the thread. You are absolutely correct. They weren’t a good fit and it’s a good thing for both that they figured it out before the wedding. Unfortunately it is not an uncommon problem in today’s world. At least they were both up front about their wishes. A lot of people aren’t and it’s the children who suffer.
Guess he wasn’t strong enough to be her man.
LOL!
One would hope I daresay.
One would hope I daresay.
Of course her stinky right fingers didn't help much either, did it son.
Unreal. Simply unreal!
“”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, Grace and Bella],” Armstrong, 37, reveals. “Yet we’re up against her biological clock — that pressure is what cracked it.”
I don’t know though, you get involved with a woman who you KNOW wants children and family, “I just had one of those” doesn’t quite cut it.
“man-face”
And prehensile toes. I’ll bet she can hang from a closet rod.
Isn’t invective fun? ;^) But let’s keep it up! Liberals have absolutely, um, `Zero’ sense of humor.
“They are invisible to her, she only wants a star at least at her level.”
A huge thing with women in entertainment. They want the millionaire/billionaire tycoon or someone at their celebrity level.
The catch-22 comes when the tycoons don’t want someone who has showed off everything to the world and the celebrity men don’t want someone who will outshine them.
That and more likely than not showing off her body to the entire world.
Armstrong is a POS.
Believe me.
And I too respect his professional achievements.
DING DING DING... we have a winner!! This guy spends his whole life riding a bicycle. BFD. He dumps his wife for this chick then dumps her because she wants to get married and have kids. What a POS.
What? Between the two of them they couldn’t afford a Bidet?
Hey, Lance, maybe if you didn’t ditch your wife and three kids for an adulterous affair with a has-been musician, you wouldn’t need to lie to keep your dignity. Oh, wait, yo dont have any left.
I resemble that remark !!!!
BS. She couldn't get over her petty jealousy of an inanimate object that he needed to spend a lot of time with. She left him.
Evidence?
