So much for the romance of the century. Love is such a fragile thing.
The engagement of Bristol Palin, the daughter of the 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, and Levi Johnston has ended just over two months after the birth of their son, it was confirmed today.
Johnston told the Associated Press the couple had mutually decided to end their relationship “a while ago”.
The 19-year-old, speaking at his family’s home in Wasilla, Alaska, declined to elaborate but said some details of the break-up – rumours about which had been circulating on the internet – were inaccurate.
At least they’ll always have Minneapolis and St. Paul.
