Unlike the first two instance, however, Bristol is married to the father of her impending baby.
Palin and husband Dakota Meyer confirmed that they are expecting their second child in an interview on Friday with Entertainment Tonight.
Palin’s previous two pregnancies were met with controversy and a bit of consternation.
First, it came to light that she was expecting a child with boyfriend Levi Johnston while her mother, Sarah Palin, was running for Vice President of the United States in 2008.
The pair eventually broke up and only recently agreed on a shared custody arrangement of seven-year old Tripp.
Bristol would become somewhat of a D-List celebrity in her own right, appearing on the aforementioned ABC reality competition and speaking out for conservative causes such as gun control.
Fast forward to the spring of 2015 and Palin calling off her wedding to Meyer, just days before the two were scheduled to exchange vows.
That June, however, Palin announced she was pregnant, making it pretty clear on her blog that the pregnancy wasn’t planned.
And that she wasn’t too excited over it.
We almost felt bad for her at the time.
Bristol gave birth to a girl named Sailore Grace about a year ago, finally confirming that Meyer did, indeed, knock her up.
Then, in June 2016, the couple confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that they had actually gone ahead and tied the knot … despite their seemingly bitter breakup.
Not long afterward, Bristol only had nice things to say about Meyer in an Instagram post on Father’s Day.
“Thank you for putting our family first, working so hard, and giving our kids the most solid foundation, we love you soo, so much,” Bristol said at the time.
We’ve written some negative things about Bristol Palin in the past, mostly because she’s deserved it.
But now she seems married, happy, stable and in love.
She’s about to bring another life into the world. That’s worthy of a celebration.
We send her our best.
