Lance Armstrong is gearing up for another birth cycle.

The seven-time Tour De France champion, in the middle of training for a return to professional cycling, is expecting his first child with girlfriend Anna Hansen, E! News confirmed Tuesday.

This will be the fourth child for the 37-year-old testicular-cancer survivor. He has three—conceived via in vitro fertilization with sperm stored before his cancer sugery—with ex-wife Kristin Richard Armstrong: 7-year-old twin daughters, Isabelle and Grace, and a 9-year-old son, Luke.

"Anna and I are thrilled to confirm that we are expecting in June and our families are ecstatic and grateful," Armstrong said in a statement. "We are very much looking forward to what 2009 brings on many fronts. We appreciate respecting our privacy, as we are both eager to celebrate the holidays as a family."

Armstrong, who earlier this year was romancing Kate Hudson and once was engaged to Sheryl Crow, has reportedly been seeing Hansen since July.

The pregnancy was first reported by PerezHilton.com.
