Olivia is not only a Twitter celeb on her dad’s page, she also has her own Twitter account which her father had created six months before she was even born.
Lance Armstrong became a dad for the fifth time. The professional U.S. cyclist and his girlfriend Anna Hansen welcomed a baby girl late Sunday, and the champ cyclist announced the good news on his Twitter account.
Just as he announced the pregnancy news on the micro-blogging website Twitter, Armstrong has used the social-networking site to announce the new addition to his brood.
Lance’s big announcement on Twitter
The U.S. cyclist and seven-time Tour de France winner took to Twitter early Monday morning to share the good news with his 2.6 million followers.
"Olivia Marie Armstrong has arrived!" he tweeted early Monday morning, according to New York Daily News. "Thanks to you all for the support and well wishes. Momma and Olivia (@Cincoarmstrong!) are doing great. She's a beauty!"
Besides announcing the birth of his baby girl, Armstrong also posted a picture of his toddler girl on Twitter, with caption: “Hi, I'm Olivia Marie Armstrong. Otherwise known as 'Cinco.'"
Cycling champ’s growing brood
This is the 39-year-old cycling champ’s fifth child, and second with girlfriend Anna Hansen.
Armstrong and Hansen welcomed their first child together, son Maxwell Edward, on June 4, 2009.
In addition to just born Olivia Marie and 16-month-old son Maxwell, Armstrong also has twins Isabella and Grace, 8, and son Luke, 11, with his ex-wife, Kristin Armstrong.
Newborn also tweets
Besides announcing the birth of his baby girl, Armstrong also posted a picture of his toddler girl on Twitter, with caption: “Hi, I'm Olivia Marie Armstrong. Otherwise known as 'Cinco.'"
Olivia is not only a Twitter celeb on her dad’s page, she also has her own Twitter account which her father had created six months before she was even born.
On Sunday, the yet-to-be-born baby (understandably her proud papa) tweeted: "I'm 'bout ready to get outta here!"
On Monday, a message on the @cincoarmstrong Twitter account, read: "Well, I made it out! What's happening? Sleeping.."
Lance’s professional and personal life
The ace athlete won ESPN's ESPY Award for Best Male Athlete in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, and was given the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Overseas Personality Award in 2003.
The road racing cyclist also won several other prestigious titles during his marvelous sports career but had to quit racing after the 2005 Tour de France.
After ending the five-year long marriage with Kristin Richard in 2003, Armstrong got engaged to the nine-time Grammy-winning songtress Sheryl Crow, but they split in 2006. The couple announced their engagement in September 2005, when she was 43, but split five months later in February of 2006.
The champ cyclist, who holds the record for winning Tour de France for seven consecutive years, from 1999 to 2005, was then reported to be romantically involved with designer Tory Burch and 15-year junior Ashley Olsen.
Armstrong also dated actress Kate Hudson for three months. On July 30 2008, a representative for Hudson announced the relationship had ended. The pair’s internal strife and their tiring travel schedules were cited as reasons for the break-up.
