Lance Armstrong is going to be a daddy again!

The multiple Tour De France winner is expecting a child with his girlfriend, Anna Hansen, his rep told Usmagazine.com exclusively on Tuesday.

“Anna and I are thrilled to confirm that we are expecting in June and our families are ecstatic and grateful,” Armstrong told Us via his rep. “We are very much looking forward to what 2009 brings on many fronts. We appreciate [the public] respecting our privacy, as we are both eager to celebrate the holidays as a family.”

“Lance and Anna [Hansen] have been quietly dating since July,” PerezHilton reported. “They met through Lance’s charity work. Anna works at a non-profit for cancer survivors.”

Armstrong is father to son Luke, 9, and 11-year-old twins Isabelle and Grace with his ex-wife Kristin Richards.

Armstrong has been linked to Kate Hudson, Sheryl Crow and designer Tory Burch.

Matthew McConaughey is backing his pal Lance Armstrong to win the next Tour de France cycle race.

The cyclist – who has dated a string of celebrities including Kate Hudson – recently announced his return to the sport after a three-year break.

And McConaughey, who is a close friend of the sportsman, insists that Armstrong can go on to win his 8th title at the legendary event in 2009.

He tells Access Hollywood, “Whenever we get together I like to hop into his training regime. He doesn’t need much of my help training, I promise you that. I’m happy he is going back to do it. And he is going back to win it. He’s got the strongest mind of a guy I’ve ever met. Whatever he sets his mind to do it, I’m gonna bet on it.”

Champion cyclist, cancer fundraiser, father of three, and alpha bachelor Lance Armstrong is on the cover of the October Men’s Journal and profiled in a lengthy piece by Vanessa Grigoriadis. After pages rehashing his history and detailing hanging out with Armstrong on LiveStrong Day as he jets around the country, the author finally gets to sex and dating. Armstrong last three girlfriends have publicly been Kate Hudson, Tory Burch and Sheryl Crow, to whom he was engaged. The article is not yet online, but Huffington Post typed in this excerpt:

These days he’s unapologetic about his reputation in the tabloids as a p***y hound, linked to designer and socialite Tory Burch, Ashley Olsen (whom he denies dating), and, until recently, Kate Hudson. “I’m a 36-year-old single guy who is completely open and honest with every woman in my life,” says Armstrong. “As long as you’re honest, and no one’s getting played or let down, then you’re being fair.”

Armstrong doesn’t go on a lot of real dates. “I think it’s hard for me, or for anyone in my position, to call someone up and say, ‘Hey, can I take you on a date?’” he says. “It’s never like that. I meet people casually, while hanging out with friends, so there’s less pressure.” Sex is something he enjoys, because he didn’t get much of it on the Tour. “I had sex if I had the energy. I wasn’t one of those guys who believed in the myths about the guy losing his chi,” says Armstrong. “But the fact is that if you are riding your bike five, six, seven hours a day, you are not a sex champion. You’re just not. You have fatigue, low testosterone, and a lower libido.” He grins. “But you know, I never got any complaints.”

Armstrong retreats from questions about Hudson, whom he dated for a few months. “I made a mistake to let the public into my relationship with Sheryl, even though it didn’t feel like a mistake at the time,” he says. “It put a lot of pressure on the relationship, and I will never do it again.” Some public outings can’t be avoided, though. “When Tory had a show, I would go to the show; when Sheryl had a concert, I’d go to the concert; and if – uh – a new lady has a premiere, I might go to the premiere. I’m there as a supportive partner, that’s my role. But sitting down and doing a bunch of photos, like I did with Sheryl, is just wrong, and I won’t do that again.”

It is hard to miss that most of these women are somewhat similar: down-to-earth blond lasses with Cheshire cat grins and small waistlines. Does he have a type?

“Everyone says that!” says Armstrong, moodily. “Everyone says I have a type! Of course I have a type. But doesn’t everyone have a type? So shut up!”

Um, isn’t that type a little like your mom?

“Now, hold on a minute there, ” he says, laughing. “That’s just gross.”

Later, at his Texas mansion, he shows the reporter his bedroom and bathroom, which has an infinity bathtub:

A painting hangs over a stainless-steel bathtub in his bathroom. “Girls love that tub,” he says, “They’re always splashing around in it, and I’ve gotta be like, ‘Hey, quit splashing the art!” (It’s not immediately apparent if “girls” means his daughters or his lady friends.)

A viewer sent me these pictures that he took of Lance Armstrong at the Philadelphia LiveStrong Challenge.  He snapped these pics of Lance and an unidentified woman.  Possibly a new girlfriend?

Thanks Joey.

Cyclist Lance Armstrong peddled for the hills, leaving actress Kate Hudson because he felt she was “too needy.”

Seems the Tour de France champ and cancer survival poster boy was feeling a bit ”smothered” by the actress. According to an Armstrong associate at his Livestrong charity foundation, the sports hero felt Hudson was ”just too needy,” and was coming on ”too strong, too fast … sensing Kate was way too desperate, a woman who clearly can’t be on her own without a man in her life at all times.”

He may have a point. Hudson always seems to escalate her relationships quickly — even turning things into familylike outings with her son Ryder ever-present, as he has been with Armstrong and with Hudson’s last flame, Owen Wilson.

One thing Armstrong reportedly liked about ex-girlfriend Sheryl Crow — and one reason that relationship lasted as long as it did — was that ”Sheryl’s one very independent woman. … Lance liked that,” said the source.

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong called it quits this weekend after a three-month romance that went public when they were spotted in Austin, Texas in mid-May, Usmagazine.com exclusively reports.

“There was no drama or ugliness – They just decided to end things,” a source close to the couple tells Us. “There is no hatred, just sadness.”

The pair quickly became inseparable with sightings of them in Austin, New York and Los Angeles – though both dodged questions about their relationship.

In the short time they were together, the 29-year-old actress was seen with the 36-year-old cyclist at many of his races and events, including his three-day Lance Armstrong Livestrong Summit in Columbus, Ohio this past weekend.

It was at the conference that Hudson and Armstrong decided to go their separate ways, a source tells Us.

Each had introduced the other to family. Hudson’s mom Goldie Hawn gave what seemed to be her approval at a July 1 lunch at The Ivy at the Shore. Also, Hudson’s four-year-old son Ryder went to a Father’s Day brunch with Armstrong — and dad Chris Robinson – in June.

A rep for Armstrong had no comment while a rep for Hudson could not be reached.
