Bristol Palin, Tripp, and Sarah Palin’s First Appearance on TV
Bristol Palin, the nation’s most famous teen mom, introduced her son Tripp to the nation on Fox News on Monday night.
This is the first interview with Bristol, and baby Tripp’s first appearance on TV. Bristol looks well for a new mom and aside from her nerves on camera, clearly adores two-month-old Tripp. He’s a gorgeous chubby baby who seemed to fall asleep on his mom during the interview. Aww.
Sarah Palin, Alaska’s governor (just in case you forgot) and Bristol’s mom, did her best to steal the show, but the message of the interview was Bristol’s unplanned pregnancy and teen motherhood.
She wanted to talk to other teenagers and hoped that they would learn from her. While Bristol says that Tripp is “awesome” she also, in the words of a 18-year-old, “wished it could have happened in like, 10 years so I could have a job and an education and be, like, prepared and have my own house and stuff”.
On practical matters, she talks about how hard it is. She says that she’s “up all night” and that “it’s not glamorous at all”. As for help, she says how blessed she is to have such a large family to help, and in particular how much Tripp’s paternal grandmother helps out with the baby. Levi Johnston is Tripp’s father, and apparently sees the baby every day.
And how much does Tripp’s other grandma help out? Bristol is a little cagey on that, but since she’s the governor of Alaska, I guess she’s somewhat busy with other things!
