Anna Hansen Husband
After meeting famous cyclist Lance Armstrong through the charity for which she was working, they started dating in 2008. Loyal and in love, she remained with him through his legal, financial and social troubles that stemmed from his admission to using drugs while racing and being stripped of his seven Tour de France medals. Lance & Anna got engaged in 2017 but are not yet married.

Anna Hansen Accident
In 2015, she made headlines of her own after she took the blame for Lance when he hit two parked cars on their way home from a night out. Explaining her decision to lie to the police, she said, “We’ve had our family name smeared over every paper in the world in the last couple of years … I just wanted to protect my family because I thought, “Gosh, Anna Hansen hit some cars, it’s not going to show up in the papers, but Lance Armstrong hit some cars, it’s going to be a national story.”
Although she is no longer on the board, Anna is still involved in Camp Wapiyapi. Since 2010, she and Lance have hosted a charity bike ride and dinner (at their house) with all the money going to the camp. In the first year, they raised enough money to send 35 kids who were previously on the waiting list due to lack of funds. Each camper experience costs around $1000.
Although she prefers to stay out of the spotlight, Anna counts some celebrities as close friends. Amongst her closest are NASCAR legend, Jimmie Johnson, and singer/songwriter and actor, Lyle Lovett.
