  • Bristol Palin, daughter of former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin, recently shared her sadness that her 15-year-old son Tripp had moved back to Alaska to live with his dad Levi Johnston
  • Bristol also has two daughters with former marine Dakota Meyer, named Sailor and Atlee – so what do we know about the brave 36-year-old who was awarded a Medal of Honor?

Sarah Palin’s 15-year-old grandson Tripp has moved back to the family’s home state of Alaska. The update was shared on his mum Bristol’s Instagram Stories on August 14, where her son was noticeably absent from the pics.

 

“This has been the hardest ‘first day of school’ yet with one of the biggest pieces of my heart missing,” Texas-based Bristol wrote. “Tripp has decided to finish out high school in Alaska to be closer to his dad and our entire family.”

“If you know Tripp, you know he lives for hunting/fishing and I honestly can’t blame him for wanting to be back home,” she continued. “As hard as it has been to come to grips with his decision – it’s truly not about what I want. He’s almost 16 years old and that relationship with his dad is a lot more important than my own selfish desires of having him with his mama forever!”

 

“I can’t talk about it yet without crying, but selfishly praying for a quick year and easy transition for us all,” the 33-year-old added.
