Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston Reveal Secret Engagement
Couple kept on-again relationship secret from Sarah Palin
Bristol Palin was worried about how she was going to tell her mother that she’s engaged to marry Levi Johnston, the father of her 18-month-old son. She solved the problem by telling a tabloid magazine. “We got engaged two weeks ago. It felt right, even though we don’t have the approval of our parents,” Palin told Us Weekly magazine in a bombshell story published Wednesday.
The magazine cover features a photo of a smiling Bristol and Levi with their son, Tripp. Inside, Bristol admits that she and Johnston had not told her parents, Sarah and Todd Palin, about the engagement. “It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be. Hopefully she will jump on board,” Bristol told the magazine. “I want her to know Levi has grown up and that he is going to be there as a dad.” ‘Redemption and forgiveness’ In a statement to NBC News, the Palins said, “Bristol at 19 is now a young adult. We obviously want what’s best for our children. Bristol believes in redemption and forgiveness to a degree most of us struggle to put in practice in our daily lives.” No wedding date has been set, but Caroline Schaefer, Us Weekly’s executive editor, told TODAY’s Matt Lauer Wednesday morning that the reunited young couple would like to do it quickly — possibly in the next month. Until marriage, Schaefer said, the couple are living separately and practicing abstinence. Bristol Palin, who has moved out of her parents’ house, is a spokeswoman for an abstinence-only program.

Levi figured out it’s more cost effective to marry Bristol than to have to come up with the child support he was being sued for.
I can’t imagine this lasting even six months. Poor girl. Trying to live the dream with a slimy, meal ticket craving, trailer park Lothario like him. He will not be able to keep up the pretense, and she’ll end up in tears again.
Well, I wish them the best...
I’m sure Sarah Palin and Mr. Mom will be thrilled to read about their DAUGHTER in this rag, about their plans to marry! Again, neither parent knew they were screweing around and now this! It’s the same problem again and again. Each parent is prusing what is best for them ... and the fmaily, - Oh WELL! “Things happen.”
“In 6 months, they’ll be separated again and Levi will be back on the airwaves telling new trash about the Palin’s.
Bristol will be the poster child of dumb women that love trashy guys.”
Human nature and history will prove you right.
I can only imagine how disappointed Sarah Palin must be. This selfish little brat (Levi) should have NEVER been introduced on the national stage and who ever had the idea to do so in the first place was a fool!
How many more dysfunctional families do we need in the WH?
Clinton, Obama?
I doubt that Sarah will be our next President but don’t we atleast one a solid family? They are out there!
Why would anyone name their kid after dungarees-?! Although goofy names DOES seem to kinda fit in....
I think they already dood it....what are the odds she's preggers again?

They should just all shut the h*ll up about it- stop giving interviews and airing their dirty laundry. Most would have forgotten about it all by now.
This is not doing Sarah’s career any good.
.
I can’t believe Bristol is that stupid and naive!
Somebody please save her from herself!!!!!
I suspect.. Poor Todd Palin is going to kill “someone”...
No she can't. She's a spoiled brat who want what she wants no matter what the cost to her family.
“I fail to see if the Palins’, specifically Sarah can’t manage her daughter as a MINOR, how can she properly run a country? She can’t. One or the other will be neglected. In this situation she chose to neglect her family.”
Utter nonsense.....
The Presidency, like parenthood is not dictatorial. The Congress, like children, often have minds of their own, and refuse leadership, often for reasons less than rational.
To blame anyone for the free will actions of others is not a rational position. Sorry, but you are very wrong. PDS?
mrs Palin may not be able to convince her daughter no to do this, but she should not allow this “man” to live under her roof. *ever*. If her daughter wants to live with him, let her go live with 8him*. Not cut her off, Not ban him from coming over for events, but not ever let him stay over. Make sure that all the other children know not to discuss family matters with him. Keep this creep at a distance or the rest of the family will pay for it, and not just Bristol.
>>I know there will be some doubters for his motivation but none of us really know, This is between the couple and God<<
You are more mature that most of the people on this thread.
Why not?
Piper plane.
Bristol Bay.
Trigonometry
Track as in running.
Dungaree or dung for short?
Why not? It would fit in.
“They should just all shut the h*ll up about it- stop giving interviews and airing their dirty laundry. Most would have forgotten about it all by now.
This is not doing Sarah’s career any good.”
You nailed th eproblem!
Her family is not what is important.
Its all about Sarah’s CAREER!
FAMILY IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT.
Nuts don’t fall too far from the tree.
