Who could have predicted that Levi "Bitchin’ Camaro" Johnston would go from hook-up to boyfriend to fiance to baby daddy to custodial visitor in just one short year:
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.
Bristol, the 18-year-old daughter of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, spoke with FOX News in February and told Greta Van Susteren that she and Levi – who are parents to 2-month-old son, Tripp – expected to get married after they completed high school.
"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."
Nope. Didn’t see that coming. I’m sure it will be handled with all the grace one might expect from our future Snowbilly Overlords

There goes that cushy state job he was counting on. And he better not go hunting out of season, because he will get caught.
Fucking morons.
The Palin’s were tripped up by those damn po’ white trash Johnston’s? Where’s mah snow machine ma, I’m a-goin’ Lev … errr, moose huntin’.
I feel bad for all of the kids involved in this mess. However, the “source” said the breakup happened a few weeks ago. Wasn’t that about when Bristol and Mooselini were on the TV going on about the wonderful experience? Also.
Thank goodness. The last thing she needs at 18 yrs of age is a husband.
Kevin Federline approves.
Or, Bristol could borrow Ma’s helicopter. Give the wolf population a breather.
And while Sarah was out creating her own reality, her daughter was firmly anchored to the actual one. And while Sarah contemplates her next ‘reality’, we can only hope it includes a prominent role in 2012.
Enjoy.
knocked up by her boyfriend, paraded on national TV, threatened with a forced marriage, childbirth, diapers, highschool, and a single mom…. all before you turn 19.
I feel sorry for the kid.
It was all about keeping mom (Levi’s) out of jail for meth. His first try at blackmail. Or was that Palin’s?
Shocked, who’da thunk it.
So what you’re saying is that political expediency isn’t the most solid foundation for a relationship, your daughter’s or otherwise? Huh.
Which Palin will birth the next baby? Sarah, Bristol or Willow? Has Track knocked anybody up yet?
Sarah Palin eloped with Todd in 1988. Track was born in 1989. No detail on the months are given in the Wiki bio. Sarah Palin likely engaged in the premarital sex she condemns (for others).
PaminBB, I think that’s MooselinA … like Messalina, only less likable.
evietoo: damn straight. Especially one who takes pride in being a “fuckin’ redneck.”
But more importantly, how will this affect Greta and the Palinistas over at Fox?
This is great news for John McCain!
To think the dude was standing on stage as part of the Repub Presidential Ticket family. And the cameras zeroed in on him a bunch and the trained seals clapped hysterically.
Now, they don’t even attempt to try being a family. Quitters! Whiny wimps.
I have a hard time mocking Repubs any more since it’s really starting to freak me out how easily manipulated they are, as this whole Palinpalozza thing shows. I used to wonder how Hitler was able to ever do the things he did without people saying, “Okay dude, now you’ve gone too far…” After the Sayrah Paylin-insto-worship freakshow, I now understand how the Nazis happened.
My folks drove it up from the Bahamas.
Great, now that’ll be going through my head all night.
Tripp? They named the baby Tripp? What, was Hat taken?
I feel sorry for Bristol – breakups suck at any age, but especially when you’re a teenager. Add to that the whole “thanks to this baby, I’m still tied to you for life” issue AND the media spotlight … and all I can say is WELL DONE, SARAH!! Way to go, with those family values of putting YOUR ambitions before the welfare of your kids.
I’m sorry, but aside from the obvious personal issues that really are none of our business…
Tripp???? Fucking Tripp??? Fuck these assholes.
Fucking Tripp???
Yep, that’s what Levi and Bristol went on, about 11 months ago…
This whole story arc was predicted long ago by Meat Loaf (or, as the Hew York Times would say, “Mr. Loaf”) in the immortal “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” Levi and Bristol began “doubly blessed/…barely seventeen and … barely dressed,” progressed to the eternal colloquy “Will you love me forever?/Baby, let me sleep on it,” got to the horndog Eternal Vow “I’ll love you ’til the end of time,” and now are both “waiting for the end of time to hurry up and arrive.” As of course, for different reasons, are Mom and the rest of the Jesus-jumpers at Wassila Bible Church and Meth Lab. Nothing ever changes, Certainly not hormonally-charged adolescents in an armpit town.
I have not thought of that song since 1988…just had to go find a youtube to refresh the Dead Milkmen memory!
It worked for almost 1000 years in Europe–which is why the royals have a sh*tload of land and drafty castles, but the gene pool leaves much to be desired.
