Bristol Palin is providing rare insight into her family.
During a recent Instagram Q&A session, Sarah Palin’s daughter addressed several fan inquiries, one of which concerned whether her 16-year-old son, Tripp Johnston, was considering college attendance. Bristol, however, expressed that she would allow him to decide what is best for himself regarding this matter.
In response to a query about whether her son plans to attend college, Bristol expressed her intention to allow him to make the most suitable choice for himself.
In her post accompanying a photo of Tripp, who she shares with ex Levi Johnston, the 34-year-old expressed that college isn’t something she would encourage. She mentioned that Tripp wants to work and is already doing so. He will likely pursue a trade and may even get involved in real estate or development in the future.
Bristol, who co-shares Sailor Grace (age 9) and Atlee Bay (age 8) with her ex Dakota Meyer, had previously disclosed that Tripp relocated from Texas where he resides, to Alaska, to complete his high school education while staying with Levi.
She posted on Instagram last August, “Today was the toughest ‘first day of school’ for me as one large part of my heart is absent. Tripp opted to complete his final years of high school in Alaska to be nearer his father and our extended family.
The former contestant from “Dancing With the Stars” later voiced her approval and empathy towards her son’s decision.
In the past, when he made his choice, it was challenging to accept, as it didn’t align with my wishes. However, I realized that at nearly 16 years old, his bond with his father holds greater significance than my personal desire to have him with me perpetually. Though I can’t discuss it without feeling emotional, I secretly hope for a swift year and an effortless transition for all of us.
Initially featured on “Teen Mom OG,” she subsequently disclosed additional insights into the manner in which Tripp informed her about his choice to depart from Texas.
In an episode of Cheryl Burke’s Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans podcast in August 2024, Bristol said, “He sent me a text saying, ‘Hey Mom, I won’t be returning.’ At first, I thought, ‘I’m heading to Alaska. This isn’t happening.’ I was so angry, incredibly furious.
She continued, “It’s incredibly hard for me to accept, as our bond has always been just Tripp and myself. Then came my daughters, but even with them, it’s still us two. The change in dynamics is profound.
During that period, Bristol mentioned her intention to acquire another residence in Alaska so she could spend more quality time with Tripp and the rest of her family there.
She expressed, “I deeply yearn for him to always be by my side, as he’s more than just a friend to me. However, I understand that I cannot prioritize my desires above all else because my children are the center of my universe.
