Bristol Plain was very upset upsetn learning her baby daddy, Levi Johnston was expecting another baby with his current girlfriend, Sunny Oglesby. Bristol says Levi spends no time with their son Tripp and has only seen him a few times in the past 4 months.
When Bristol Palin heard from texting friends that the father of her son and former fiancé, Levi Johnston, was expecting another child out of wedlock with a new girlfriend, the 21-year-old was initially stunned. “I said, ‘No way, shut up!’†Bristol tells In Touch in an exclusive interview. But as the young mother realized that the rumors were all too true, her feelings soon turned to sadness, anger and disgust. “I think it’s a little bit of everything, and a lot of confusion,†she adds. “I’m upset about it.â€
It’s understandable that the doting mother of 3-year-old Tripp would be so upset — especially since Levi, who says he’s “really excited†to be expecting a baby with galpal Sunny Oglesby, has hardly lifted a finger to help raise his first child. “He’s seen Tripp twice in the past four months,†Bristol reveals. “He once went an entire year without seeing him at all.â€
And despite the unemployed 21-year-old’s claims that the Palin family — including Bristol’s mother, former vice presidential candidate Sarah — hinders him from visiting his son, Bristol is adamant that her ex has always been free to see Tripp. “I wish Levi would be like, ‘Hey Bristol, can I have Tripp for the weekend?’†Bristol says. “I would be so willing and glad to do that. He continues to lie.â€
But above all, Bristol’s main fear is that Tripp will be humiliated at school. “I don’t want him to go to elementary school with 10 half-siblings,†she says. “That would really affect him.†She adds, “I hope that this child is raised with two parents. He needs to step up to the plate and be there,†she sighs. “I thought he had learned his lesson the first time.â€
Levi admits that his relationship with Tripp is strained and he intends to pay his child support! “I love Tripp more than anything and he is my son, but I don’t feel like a dad to him. Not by choice … hopefully one day I can be,” Levi told The Insider.
