Lance Armstrong Reveals Why He Broke Up with Sheryl Crow

In his new book Lance Armstrong explains why he ended his relationship with Sheryl Crow weeks before her 44th birthday:

"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."

"Yet we’re up against her biological clock, that pressure is what cracked it."

"We went to a couple counseling, but there is no way to counsel that situation."

"Because if somebody wants a child, man, that’s the greatest gift you can give to a woman, so who are you to stand there and say I don’t want one. So we were at different points in our lives. We were not compatible on that issue."

Either both the man and the woman want it, or it’s a deal breaker. It’s good to see Lance didn’t get himself into a situation that would have made him unhappy later, and caused a possible split with a child involved like his previous marriage.

Later a still unmarried Crow, then 46, and her child bearing options diminishing adopted a two-week-year old infant she named Wyatt Steven Crow. Crow remains unmarried today.

Next month Armstrong’s girlfriend, not wife, Anna Hansen will give birth to the couple’s baby. It seems Armstrong left out one detail from his book, which seems to be that he was more against getting remarried, than having another child. Sheryl it seems wanted it all, wasn’t willing to compromise, so she lost it all.
