Report: Bristol Palin and Fiancé Split
TODAY ^ | 03.11.09 | STAFF

Posted on 03/11/2009 3:47:01 PM PDT by fight_truth_decay

The pair, parents to 2-month-old son Tripp, broke up 'a few weeks ago'

Bristol Palin and her fiancé Levi Johnston have broken up, two sources tell PEOPLE.

The split happened "a few weeks ago," according to a source close to the couple, but it's unclear what precipitated it. "It was a mutual thing," adds the source.

"It kind of just happened," says the source, referring to the split. "I thought they would stick it out. But I think they can work together to raise Tripp."

Despite the breakup, Levi still sees the couple's son. Levi's dad, Keith Johnston, told PEOPLE recently that his son is a devoted and "proud father."

Bristol, meanwhile, is attending Wasilla High, taking a class to supplement course work she is completing at home. She also is considering enrolling in college next fall and studying nursing.

Oh, yeah—the sperm donor

AKA the father. Or don't you think one of those is important?

It's in multiple rag mags.

So? They are all still rags. Probably just copying off the original rumor rag.

The report quoted Levi's sister, Mercede.

Palin spokesman Bill McAllister says he doesn't know and doesn't plan to inquire. He says it's up to the governor to respond if she wants to.

ABC

I have to laugh at the Headline:
Bristol Palin's Pregnancy Was an Open Secret Back Home

What's an open secret? And "back home" sounds kind of "redneck" leading.

Sarah's not going anywhere.
The handling of Bristol's pregnancy
showed poor judgment.
There is no conspiracy.

Yeah seriously I can care less if it’s true or not. Who cares, so they broke up, if they did, yeah, and..this is an issue why? Because it shows that Sarah’s family has problems like we all do..wait, and Obama’s past is squeaky clean right..yeah, let’s see what’s in Obama’s closet..besides the crap the media won’t reveal(Ayers, Rezco, Farrakan, Wright, etc etc)

Gossip based on an unnamed “source”. I guess you all probably also saw coming that Palin faked her pregnancy and had an affair with a business partner of her husband... it must be true, because some gossip rags claim so... /barf

Calm down it's just I remember what it's like to be a 17-18 yr old man-- there's just too many women to make your head turn. Near impossible to stay faithful at that age.

Shocker.

I’ll accept apologies from the defenders of Levi and Bristol’s “true love and commitment” on this or any related thread.

That said, it would not surprise me. Once they did not get married right away, I figured the odds of them ever doing so were not good.

But, the baby still needs a father. But for now, grandpa has been filling in, and can continue to do so.

Grandpas, and sometimes Great Uncles, do those things you know.

This girl is not married. Therefore, the father is not AS importantas if he were her husband, and had already made a lifetime commitment to her and the child.

She is very mature for her age—she has grown up fast. The baby has a huge, loving family surrounding him.

Many children are being raised by their mothers in the homes of their grandparents. These extended families are usually very happy, at least the ones I know.

Because Bristol keeps opening her mouth with cameras around.

Everytime Bristol shoots off her mouth, Palin’s social conservatism looks just a little more “naive,” as she put it.

The MSM will publish every frame of this trainwreck as it unfolds; that’s just the nature of the beast.

A good man will take the baby as his own.

Who cares? It is none of our business

But you had to read the story..;) just the same. As did I. The sources say his sister made the statement (above). Bristol Palin and fiance, Levi Johnston, have broken up after she referred to his family as "white trash!," his sister dished to Star magazine

. Sister source again from New York Daily News.

>>Depends on how you define “complete”. I think the Palin’s will raise this baby with much love. <<

Great. But you know what a baby needs? A mom and a dad.
It’s been too long that the Pro-Life movement has cheered when a girl makes a mistake then keeps the baby.

When do we start saying “the baby would be better off with a mom, a dad and two sets of Grandparents” instead of “Grandma and Grandpa will raise the kid”

Sorry if that’s offensive. Those of us who want to adopt see things differently.

Why would he not sire his own?

“Yes it is. I guess my point is, SCHIP for real minor children is a good thing. It is the sign of a compassionate society.”

you know, if the govt wasn’t spending zillions of dollars on handouts for people who don’t really need it, we would have more money for the truly poor who are simply incapable of caring for themselves.

Monogamy, marital chastity and fidelity ARE the conservative positions.

This shouldn’t be controversial here; it’s amazing how quickly standards go out the window when we want to like the perps.
