Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston engaged, again -- crazy, yes, but here's why it just might work!
The most amazing real-life soap opera of our times has taken a new twist: Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston are engaged.
Make that two twists: They apparently shared the news with US Weekly before her mom.
There they are on the magazine's cover, holding their 18-month-old son Tripp and explaining how they got back together after the most famous teenage breakup ever. Engaged during her mother's vice-presidential campaign, they parted shortly after their son's birth, and the split quickly turned tabloid-ugly. But they said they bonded again while trying to work out a custody plan three months ago.
"I really thought we were over," he told the magazine, but feelings changed when they went for a walk with their son. Nothing really happened then, she said, but he later texted her saying that he misses her and wanted her back. "I was in shock," she told US.
This begins to explain Levi's recent public apology to the Palin family. Bristol acknowledged that her mother didn't know they were back together yet: "It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be."
Unclear what the family discussions have been today, but in a statement to NBC's "Today," Sarah and Todd Palin said that Bristol believes in "redemption and forgiveness," and, well, if this makes her happy...
Does this all seem crazy? Yes. It also seems strangely understandable. And maybe not such a terrible idea.
Sure, there's an ocean of bad blood. (He dished dirt to Tyra and Vanity Fair, posed for Playgirl, complalined the Palins were shutting him out of Tripp's life. She told Harper's Bazaar that he's "a stranger to me" and battled him in court. Her mother blasted him as a fame-seeker -- "Ricky Hollywood.")
But really, at this point, who else could either of them ever be with? The two have shared a completely unique experience: Small town teens catapulted to worldwide fame by the convergence of an unplanned pregnancy and her mother's overnight political ascendance. Who else would ever be able to truly relate to Bristol's life? Who else would ever really understand Levi? This is why people fall in love. Good luck to them.
