Bristol Palin, Fiance Call Off Engagement
The teenage daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her fiance have broken up just over two months after the birth of the couple's child.
People.com reported Wednesday that sources said the split between Bristol Palin, 18, and Levi Johnston, 19 occurred a few weeks ago, and Johnston confirmed to the Associated Press that he and Bristol mutually decided to end their relationship "a while ago." He did not elaborate. Palin said in a statement to the Associated Press that she is "devastated."
The young Palin told FOX News' Greta van Susteren that they intended to get married after they both finished high school.
"Eventually, we'd like to get married. We're focusing on, like, getting through school and just getting an education and stuff, getting a career going," Palin said. She also told FOX News that her and Johnston didn't find being young parents "glamorous," and they both felt having kids should wait.
