WASILLA, Alaska — The engagement is off for the teenage daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and the father of her baby.
Levi Johnston said today that he and Bristol Palin mutually decided “a while ago” to end their relationship. The 19-year-old Johnston declined to elaborate.
Eighteen-year-old Bristol Palin said in a statement that she is “devastated.”
The two are the parents of a boy named Tripp, who was born Dec. 27.
Sarah Palin revealed her daughter’s pregnancy days after being named John McCain’s running mate on the Republican presidential ticket.
In an interview that aired on Fox News last month, Bristol Palin said her fiance saw the baby every day and described him as a “hands-on” dad.
The two had said they were considering a summer wedding.
