What a putz crazy
I never heard what happened to his marriage. Did he leave her for another woman? I know he was dating Sheryl crow soon after he divorced his wife, or maybe before? I can't even stomach him dating one of the Olsen girls. That creeps me out.

Edited to add
I just googled him and didn't find anything about an affair but did see his ex-wife on Oprah. She talks about her strong faith in God. Then I found somewhere else with his bio and it lists his Religion as Atheist. THAT is a huge obstacle to overcome. What was she thinking?

I haven't seen anything specific, about the Armstrong situation, but there is this timeline...

Quote
Lance and Sheryl met at the Grand Slam for Children event in Las Vegas in October, 2003. Armstrong and Crow flirted with one another through their Blackberries.
Their relationship became public shortly after his divorce from Kristin.

and this quote from Kristin Armstrong

Quote
Kristin Armstrong earlier said several events related to her husband's celebrity and cancer comeback had strained the marriage.

He may not have actually had an affair, but the timing of his 'relationship' couldn't have made it easy to repair his hurting marriage. His focus would have been elsewhere. Maybe his wife really just wanted out. This has been kept VERY close to the vest.

When someone divorces and begins dating someone that soon afterwards, odds are there was an inappropriate relationship with that person prior to the divorce.

I have not seen a single exception to this rule, but I'm sure they must be out there somewhere.

Krazy, I agree totally. I would hazard a guess and say that he and Sheryl Crow were having an affair, however, neither his wife, nor LiveStrong himself have stated such (not that I would expect HIM to).

Maybe surviving cancer has the same effect as, say, 5 years in a POW camp? smirk

Or listening to the rants of some radical, pseudo intellectual, left wing, commie, pinko, bed wetter preacher type with an agenda. whistle

Dang, wish I could remember Imus' quotation better than that.

Anyway, on the subject at hand, most guys would kill to be married to Shania. Hey she even elected to have Mutt's kid, which leads us to finding him acting like, well, a mutt, except that would be insulting all the high quality mutts in the world.

I saw a picture of the OW. Except for a very large set of what appeared to be high quality hooters (or well made undergarmets), the two of them can now be known as Mutt and his Dawg.

I know this is ugly but he's so unattractive to me- I have never saw what she saw in him- he's brilliant no doubt though as far as business goes.

Sorry maybe it is me, but i think this thread was only because it is Shania. I think it is shallow of the men here stating that if they were married to Shania they would not be chaeting on her.

Looks aren't everything.

Don't get me wrong, i feel bad for her but i feel that the thread is just because she is (according to most men) so beautiful.
