Us Weekly reports that — wait for it, wait for it — Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin are engaged. Again!
Bristol and Levi, 20 — who famously called off their previous engagement two weeks after welcoming son Tripp in December 2008 — tell Us Weekly they reconnected three months ago while working out a custody plan for their 18-month-old son.
“I really thought we were over,” Levi tells Us Weekly. “So when I went, I had no hope. I think we both just started talking — and then we took Tripp for a walk.”
Says Bristol, “When he left that night, we didn’t hug or kiss, but I was thinking how different it was. He texted me: ‘I miss you. I love you. I want to be with you again’ … I was in shock.”
And it’s funny, too, since Levi just released a statement as to how “sorry” he was to Sarah Palin and family for his prior indiscretions. Good timing, Lee. Good-assed timing. But not a good-assed reveal, because I’m gathering from the interview that the couple spoke to Us before they let Sarah know:
Says Bristol, “It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be. Hopefully she will jump on board.”
Oh, snap, Bristol. Looks like you’re gonna be cut out of the political suicide family inheritance this time. No, but really. These two are just kids. Kids! We can expect that they’ve made mistakes in their past (I’m lookin’ at you Mr. Playgirl Playmate), and I’m sure they’re trying to rectify whatever personal damage was done between the two of them (and Sarah Palin … and the media … and the eyes that saw Levi Johnston’s johnson), so I really think we should back off these guys, give them a little room and see what they can do. They just better remember that they’re not the only ones at stake, here: there’s an adorable little baby involved, too, and that child doesn’t need the drama that having kids at a very young age can stir up.
What do you guys think? Will this little family be left alone, or do you think that Palin’s supporters are going to try and sabotage this reunion at any cost?
The reconciliation of Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston is an orchestrated political move on the part of Sarah Palin to present her family as a “united front” (in preparaton for the 2012 elections). Over the next two years, it will be very interesting to see how Palin and company rebuild their public image. The emotional and tacky family feuding that we have seen from them won’t play well in national politics.
Beautiful baby
Wow
How’s?
Slig ur here?
Beautiful baby
Seriously?
I’d be really shocked if Sarah didn’t already know.
I’d be even more shocked if she didn’t pay/bully them into doing it.
So cynical…I would think as a parent you would try to support the building of a family for your grandchild, especially if that once negative person came back and personally asked for forgiveness. I don’t think there is a better thing for a child than to have both parents in the home if both parents are responsible loving adults. Hopefully, the Palins can help them both mature and grow into a stable family for their grandchild…regardless of their political identity and political aspirations.
I’m with you Crabtown. I think Sarah and Todd will encourage them to give it a go.
