30 minutes later:

Max was conceived naturally.

OMG that baby looks like an alien!

[nettyspagetti]

He deserves no sympathy for the hate coming his way, his first wife Kristin stood by his side while he battled cancer, and how does he repay her, he dumps her for Sheryl Crowe. What a s limeball.

[DubyaGump]

Agreed!

[dwillisno1]

The circumstances between Lance and Kristin, are just that Between Lance and Kristin. I have never seen either of them speak ill of the other. The timing of the subsequent relationship with Cheryl Crowe, makes "he dumps her for Cheryl Crowe" a false and really dumb statement. BTW, I have never heard Cheryl or Lance speak ill of each other either. Maybe you could take the hint from them!

[Sarahmay57]

Kristin has spoken about how difficult it was to be married to Lance (a narcissist).

[meede]

Because you say so. Get over yourself

[CR46]

The circumstance was that his wife was caring for a toddler and newborn twins and instead of helping he chose to be out "dating".

[DubyaGump]

Then there are those pesky doping allegations, but I'm sure according to you he didn't do it, he was framed!

[Sarahmay57]

Ya, he dumps Sheryl because he didn't want more children...

[notconfindtweenhatnboots]

And then after the Sheryl Crow breakup- which he rudely attributed to her ticking of her biological clock, he decided to date Ashley Olsen who was 21 years old at the time. Yes, he literally chose someone half of Sheryl's age and someone who was barely legal (but still famous). What a (singular) slim eball. He obviously was compensating for something.

[VirginiaJeff]

I have to go along with the folks who see Lance as a narcissist. I feel bad for his wife after all the support she gave him over the years.

[Jinxykb]

I find Lance Armstrong to be very unappealing; narcissistic and ultra- skeevy. I wish the mother of his child and his kid all the luck in the world.

[AKJM]

He's a Texan

[Artemis34]

Right. This is the same guy who told Cheryl Crow he wouldn't marry her because he already had all the kids he was going to have. Jerk.

[seachild]

he did'n't WANT sheryl...so what...maybe SHE's the problem...no one knows and no one should really care...there are MORE IMPORTANT things in life to fret over

[Merckx]

Again, haters with bad info. He was operating under the assumption he couldn't father children the old fashioned way. Turns out his doctors were wrong.
So now he steps up and is being a good father to the unexpected gift. I don't see the down side here. People have a lot of strange agendas.

[dwillisno1]

I'm with Sparky, the self righteousness is so thick here that it prevents self reflection. It always does!

[Hedgehogging]

Seriously, for the people that have something to say about this man's baby, you should jump out of a window.

For the people that know about this man's personal life, you should follow right behind.

[Lex10]

Ladies and gentlemen.....Wishnik Armstrong!

[Puffin16]

A lot of newborns aren't pretty. I remember after I gave birth to my son and I looked over at him, it sure wasn't the Gerber baby! His head was pointed, he was bloated and cheesy, and I said out loud 'I went through all that pain for THAT!' Of couse, he looked much better in a day or two.

[CR46]

My best friend and I had our first babies at the same time, she walked down the hall and asked "how come your baby is cute and mine has a pointy head??" we still laugh about it decades later(P.S. His head didn't stay pointy)

[Pilgrim41]

He is a self-absorbed, narcissistic has been. I feel sorry for all of his kids. Sheryl should count herself lucky to have gotten rid of him.

[jjaylad]

hrmm

[logic63]

He has turned out to be a real jerk-a seed planter but nothing more

[SkuddGobang]

Good God. Are we sure the Grinch didn't father that.. um.. baby?

eek.

[SparkyAdams]

Hopefully your head won't explode during the Two Minute Hate.

[Jinxykb]

I think he looks like a mini-me version of Armstrong.

[AbeMartin]

I'm surprised Lance didn't name him for his BFF the amazin' metro' Matthew McConaughey.

[iala]

Wait. I thought he said the whole reason he broke up with Cheryl Crow was because she wanted to have a baby and he didn't want to have anymore kids. What happened?

[sheepleherder]

My guess would be that Sheryl is too old for him and he went with a younger model.

[koppenberg]

If she was too old for him (9 years his elder), why did he start dating her in the first place, much less get engaged? Proportionally speaking, they were getting closer and closer in age as things went along :-).

[scorpioleidy]

Well, I guess the notion that all babies are cute is completely blown out of the water with this kid!

[pam45]

Not a cool statement!

[scorpioleidy]

I call 'em like I see 'em!

You know only what you read in the tabloids. HuffPost commenters, so judgmental!
