Sheryl Crow Says Her Engagement Ended the Same Week She Was Diagnosed With Breast Cancer

Her May 19 podcast recollection shows that a diagnosis coinciding with a breakup helped push her toward motherhood by adoption.

Overview

  • Crow told Bobby Bones on the May 19 episode of The Bobbycast that she and her then-fiancé split in the same week she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
  • She said she learned during her treatment that her ex was seeing a “really famous actress,” but did not identify the person she referenced.
  • Crow recalled enduring about nine months of radiation while also grieving the breakup and described feeling anger and loss during that period.
  • She credited a stoic oncologist’s advice for helping her reframe the experience, and after remission she adopted sons Wyatt in 2007 and Levi in 2010.
  • Multiple outlets have repeated Crow’s first-person account and placed it alongside Armstrong’s later remarriage and children, and no substantive response from Armstrong or his representatives has been reported.
