Who Are Sarah Palin's Children?

Bristol Palin is Sarah Palin's eldest daughter and quickly became a household name when the world met her during her mother's and McCain's 2008 campaign at 17. Bristol made headlines when she was introduced and saw her first (but certainly not last) taste of controversy when it was revealed that she was pregnant. This sparked backlash at Sarah Palin's abstinence before marriage policies, and a statement by John McCain's campaign team was released, claiming that her 17-year-old daughter would keep the child and marry the father (The Guardian).

After having her son, Tripp, Bristol became an advocate for abstinence for the Candie's Foundation. Many saw this as a hypocritical stance, as her engagement to Tripp's father, Levi Johnston, was broken off before the wedding and the couple called it quits in 2010. It was later reported that Bristol made hundreds of thousands of dollars for her advocacy work (via Vanity Fair). In 2015, she was engaged to a new man, Dakota Meyer, but they ended their engagement and Bristol announced a second pregnancy. The couple later got married in 2016, had their second child together, and finally divorced in 2018.

Bristol's career has taken many forms, from her advocacy work to featuring in a couple of reality shows,and most recently, working as a real estate agent. In addition to her professional efforts, she's also put her focus into being a caring mother to her three children, Tripp, Sailor, and Atlee (via The Sun).
