In June 2011, Bristol Palin released a memoir titled Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far . The daughter of former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was 20 at the time, and was raising her son Tripp Johnston entirely on her own. She and her son’s father, Levi Johnston, ended their engagement in February 2009, two months after Tripp was born.
Bristol reflected upon her experiences as a young mother, and wrote about how difficult it was having her time as a teenager end so abruptly. While promoting the book, she spoke with Dr. Drew about those feelings: “I was on the fast track to adulthood just in an instant because of that one decision.”
A lot of time has passed since then, and with it came two more children — and loads of changes. What are Bristol Palin’s kids doing now ? Here’s what we know.
What are Bristol Palin’s kids up to now? Her son moved back to Alaska.
In a now-archived Instagram story from August 2024, Bristol revealed that Tripp had made the difficult decision to move back to Alaska in order to be with his father. Bristol relocated to Texas in 2017, which is around the time her third child was born. Despite the fact that temporarily losing Tripp was heartbreaking for the conservative influencer, she wrote in a caption that she understood why he did it.
