Tour de France bicyclist Lance Armstrong is spilling secrets about his previous relationship with singer Sheryl Crow. 

He says the breakup of his 2005 engagement to Sheryl was caused by  biological clock ticking, while Lance’s was not. 

During an interview with author John Wilcockson, Lance said “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 kid.  Yet we’re up against her biological clock — that pressure is what cracked it.”

He also said “Because if somebody wants a child, 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.”

After the couple broke up, Sheryl never got pregnant, but she she did adopt a child.
