It shook the Palin family, a very Christian household, to the core.
”Trig was a 16-week-old baby at the time. Bristol in high school, teenage and pregnant. We were just a microcosm of America. We were up there on stage and I just thought ‘Oh man…who’da thunk?”

According to the child’s father, Levi Johnston, Sarah was desperate to keep Bristol’s pregnancy a secret. She even wanted to adopt the baby.
“Sarah told me she had a great idea: we would keep it a secret – nobody would know that Bristol was pregnant,” he told Vanity Fair magazine in 2009.
After the news broke, Sarah and Todd released a statement declaring that they were ”proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents.”
Bristol is now 31, a mother of three and she runs a real estate company in Texas – so she has definitely succeeded in life.
