Unfortunately, all of this would come crashing down six months later. Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong split when they realized they wanted different things: Crow wanted kids, and Armstrong – who already had three kids of his own – didn't know if he wanted more (via Sportscasting).
The couple released a statement, writing, "After much thought and consideration we have made a very tough decision to split up ... We both have a deep love and respect for each other and we ask that everyone respect our privacy during this very difficult time" (via People).
Flash forward to six years later, and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency revealed that Armstrong had been using performance-enhancing drugs since 1998; he was subsequently stripped of his titles and banned from the sport. And while this was not the source of Armstrong and Crow's split, Crow did allegedly know about Armstrong's illegal drug activity and would eventually take a deal with the FDA in exchange for immunity.
For her part, Crow is done talking about Armstrong – their breakup or his cheating. "It probably sounds really insulting, but this is one of those I-don't-give-a-f**k moments: I don't think about him. It's a nuisance when I'm asked about him because they weren't the happiest of days," Crow told Rolling Stone in 2013. "People still attach me to him, and it's gross ... I don't really want to talk about that."
Crow would eventually go on to become the mother she wanted to be, adopting two sons, Wyatt and Levi (via ABC News).
