It's OVAH! Part: Tour de break-up II

Looks like it's ovah fo' sho' for these two. J&M reported it sometime last month but the status wasn't definite yet, the news was still in the rumor mill. But the cyclist and crooner have come out confirming that they are truly donzo. --Melissa


The worlds of music and sports were rocked Friday when high-profile couple Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow said they were calling it quits after 2 years of dating and a 5-month engagement.

In a statement released to People magazine on Friday afternoon, Lance and Sheryl announced, "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."

Lance, a cancer survivor, and Sheryl, a Grammy winner, met at a charity event in October 2003 and began dating a short time later. Sheryl was a highly visible supporter of the star cyclist as he won his 7th Tour de France victory, and Lance would spend time with the pop singer on the road during her concert tours.

The two became engaged last September during a vacation in Sun Valley, Idaho.

"He took me out in the middle of this beautiful lake in the middle of the Sawtooth Mountains and asked me to get married on a boat," she told us. "That is the most romantic thing, and he was really nervous, which is kind of funny, because I don't think anyone's ever seen Lance Armstrong be nervous."

The "Soak Up the Sun" singer was recently featured in a photo shoot for Allure magazine wearing a Vera Wang wedding dress and said the 2 were planning on marrying in Lance's hometown of Austin, TX. The couple shared a ranch there and were said to be planning to live there together after their big day. [Yahoo]

Somebody that he considers better must've flirted with him... just like when he left his wife for the songstress.
