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,” she said.

“I went through about nine months of radiation and grieving and anger,” Crow, 64, who didn’t say Armstrong’s name, stated.
A rep for Armstrong, 54, wasn’t available to Page Six for comment.
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 have two kids, Wyatt, 9, and Levi, 6.
