***UPDATE***
People magazine reported that Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin's boyfriend, will be attending the GOP convention to be with the Palin family.

Bristol Palin's baby daddy has been revealed to be 18 year-old Levi Johnston. Sarah Palin announced that her 17 year-old daughter is five months pregnant Monday. Read More at HuffPost's Sarah Palin big news page.

According to The NY Daily News:

Doe-eyed Bristol Palin, 17, and ruggedly handsome Levi Johnston, 18, have been dating for about a year, locals in their hometown of Wasilla, Alaska, told the Daily News...

..."They've been together quite a while, more than a year," she said. "I hope everything comes out well. These are local kids."

Johnston, broadchested and wearing a No. 15 jersey, can be seen in photographs hitting the boards as a Warrior in action.

A closeup shot shows the handsome teen with a light dusting of whiskers on his chin - his dark brown hair curly and wet.

"Levi has got huge potential," Jennie Johnston said. "He's a smart kid."

The New York Post has excerpts from Johnston's MySpace page:

On his MySpace page, Johnston boasts, "I'm a f - - -in' redneck" who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes.

"But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s- - - and just f - - -in' chillin' I guess."

"Ya f - - - with me I'll kick [your] ass," he added.

He also claims to be "in a relationship," but states, "I don't want kids."

Here are Levi, Bristol and Trig Thursday of the RNC:

I have a much bigger problem with Palin accepting the VP pick knowing full well what kind of scrutiny and criticisms her daughter would deal with, than how she "let" her get pregnant in the first place. How absolutely reprehensible to throw your own child to the media wolves like that (especially one who is already in an emotionally delicate situation to begin with.)

It is not sexist to point out a candidate's poor parenting skills (be they the father or the mother)--the real sexism taking place here is the GOP's paternalistic attitude towards this completely unqualified woman. She is an insult to intelligent, ambitious women everywhere. Republican politicians will always spin their mistakes into something they can be self-righteous about. If Obama or Biden had a pregnant teenage daughter the Republicans would be ripping them to shreds over it--assuming either would've been willing to subject their child to that in the first place. When a liberal does something socially irresponsible it's somehow the epitome of immorality, but when a conservatives does the very same thing it's suddenly a testament to their superior morals.

I am obviously not a Republican, but given that almost everyone I know (including my family) are ones, I feel terribly sorry for them that they were given such a horrible representative for their party. How embarrassing.

As far as what her daughter has done... Does it really matter? You can lead and teach your children but ultimately they are going to make mistakes. What makes the difference is Ms. Palin is supporting her daughter and not ostricizing her. Mistakes happen and they do in America everyday. It has nothing to do with this election. This is not a popularity contest. What about the real issues, fiscal responsibility, the war, unemployment, our mortgage crisis, safe borders, education, etc? Do those issues not matter anymore? Why is the matters taking a forefront in this election have nothing to do with running our country anymore and everything to do with this woman's personal life.... Let's also not forget; She's the VP and McCain is in charge anyways and while he is old, there is no guarrantee Ms. Palin is going to be in the driver's seat!

[eyedoleyes]

Seriously you guys need to give it a rest. I am a mother of 5 and each pregnancy is different. It is a wide misconception that you get bigger with each pregnancy. I have a four month old and while I was huge with my other prgnancies, you would have had no idea I was pregnant with, as a matter of fact, I went from 130lbs when I concieved to 116lbs at her birth and I am 89lbs now!! I eat and everything! Peoples' bodies do odd things! Lay off!You can't always explain things, pay attention to her qualifications and her speaches and stop turning this into a media frenzy like she's a friggen celebrity!

What are we talking about here? How many 18yrs marry a 17 years old girl can raise a family. Maybe because she is the governor’s daughter, but that is not an average American. I don’t believe in killing babies and I don’t encourage it. But I don’t advice marry as a solution either. Wait!!!! is 17 minor in Alaska?

[char4u2lv]

As a matter of fact on GRETA last night they showed a video of Sarah 8mths pregnant and talking to her young daughter. I also doubted the validity of the baby being hers, but after that video, i no longer do.

[hockibabe]

Freudian slip? I don't think so. In this video with Charlie Rose she state her "one and only son". Yet, in her bio, it states that she has two sons. Why would she claim that? It's at the about the 14 second mark on tape. Who forgets "another" son? One who didn't give birth, is who.



So, who's kid is it?? This from a woman who preaches and imposes HER faith on abstinence.....

Check : YouTube - Charlie Rose - Sarah Palin


What is sad is that suicide is up to its highest yet, for our troops. If they claim to
have a monopoly on patriotism, why send troops to their deaths?

[jenn94965]

Unfortunately the youtube film is from 2007 before she could have had two son's. But some have said that her son had no choice to go into the military - wonder what's up with that?

From these photos it appears that Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin are Trig's parents.. Has anyone seen pictures of Sarah Palin while pregnant? She had to have made public appearances while she was pregnant. Where are pics of her from 5 to 6 months ago. No telling who has been threatened with termination or worse if they disclose the truth about the childs parents and birth.

[glenncz]

I think Levi is the father of Trig, everything points to it. Why won't the Doctor confirm the birth mother, instead all we get is a fashion show.

Has anyone seen the video on youtube, where a young man from Los Angeles is claiming to be the father? He sounds sincere but you never know. Curious to know some of your thoughts.

[disgusted48]

It's a prank.

Here's an interesting take on who the father of Britol Palin's child to be is_and

Oh by the way_John Mccain probably doesn't want you to know either.Bristol likes chocolate_mm good!

Really? Come on. While I was pregnant my chest was two sizes bigger than before. When my kids were five months old, the only time my chest swelled was when the milk would drop every few hours. Leave this girl alone. She is nurturing her little brother and preparing for what is ahead. When she delivers she will be 18, perhaps still unmarried but not a minor. BACK OFF! Children really shouldn't be up for conversation, don't you think this is hard enough on her?


By the way, anyone can make a myspace account and take pictures off the internet and say it is them.

[Umeshu]

Children should not be pregnant either! Bristol has a mother who taught her about abstinence and is against sex education. It is not surprising that she is pregnant. A mere child having a baby. Poor thing.

I was looking on You tube and saw this video. I think that you all should look at this. Remember when John McCain said that they were going to scale back the Republican National Convention while the hurricane was coming? Well it appears that they did not really scale back as ABC shows that they continued to party and meet with their lobbyist friends, and get drunk ,and just show no kind of empathy for what was going on with the lives of the people in New Orleans. I think this is a clear display of how out of touch the people in the republican party really are!!

Oh, really. You mean out of touch sort of like this?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrBus8ORR78

To the psychological interpretation of this. F....ing rednecks don't kiss their fiances brothers, that's just how it is. And look at Sarah Palin with the baby, she always look so dissinterested. Compare this with the way she behaves with her youngest daughter, very close, very nice, and how Bristol treats the baby. No way, no doubt. I think everybody has done this out of a good intention, but lying about your parents is not good. Lying is very bad. Somebody, find out!

[Zyzzygowski]

I saw the video of the People Magazine shoot and Brigette McCain was there. Why is she not in this photo?

Moreover, Huff Post did not mention who else is not there. I understand not showing McCain's sons because of their military service, but they should at least be mentioned in the family photo as not present.

I did some investigating. I have a Myspace account, so I searched for Levi Johnston's myspace. That search came up with 8 different Levi Johnstons from Wasilla. I looked on the accounts and all of them only have pictures that have been seen in the Media and the comments on his page are only about a week old.

I found the one this article quotes from. I really don't think that that is his REAL myspace. I don't think any of them are. There is nothing on his myspace that indicates that it is real. For example, none of his "top friends" are from Wasilla or seem to even know him. Check the source before you quote from it -- this is just bad journalism.

look at these pic' s from a blogers site...... http://cajunboy.tumblr.com/page/3

[married08]

Right on. It's the same as if you look up any celebrity - anyone can become Paris Hilton on myspace.
