Bristol Palin Reveals Second Pregnancy’s Due Date Amid Custody, Child Support Battle With Former Fiancé Levi Johnston
Bristol Palin is definitely excited for the upcoming arrival of her second child, which is reportedly a girl, this week as she shared a new baby bump photo on Instagram on Saturday, Dec. 19. But aside from the picture, the daughter of the former vice-presidential candidate also revealed her due date through its caption.
In July, the online realm had a field day after the 25-year-old soon-to-be mom-of-two proudly announced her pregnancy, while unmarried, for the second time in her blog post. But unlike her first pregnancy that drew national attention when she was 18, Palin's second pregnancy was planned and she didn't regret her baby on the way. But what made it so controversial was the fact that she has pledged to remain celibate until marriage, frequently writes about her opposition to reproductive rights and has been an abstinence-only advocate.
Now, Bristol Palin, who announced her pregnancy just weeks after she called off her engagement with her baby daddy Dakota Meyer, is just 5 days away from her due date, Us Weekly noted.
"Oh best friends," Bristol captioned her latest Instagram post. "Five days until my due date! But I have a feeling baby girl won't want to come anytime soon..."
While Palin is excited to finally meet her daughter, she and her former fiancé Levi Johnston will be due back in court for the first time after more than a year for the custody and child support battle of their 6-year-old son Tripp. According to Frontiersman, the ex-couple will appear in a hearing listed at the Palmer court calendar on Monday at 11 in the morning.
"The parties have reached a final custody and visitation agreement for residing in the same community and have executed, personally and through their attorneys, a confidential stipulation regarding custody," a court document filed on Nov. 16 read. "Therefore, the only pending issue to be addressed by the Court is the matter of past and future child support."
Palin and Johnston, who initially announced their wedding but ended their relationship in 2009, have quite a complicated dispute over the custody of their son. They also have a settlement that never earned the approval of the court. But last year, Johnston, who's married and has two daughters, brought back the custody issue to court after his son's trips to Arizona, where the Palins maintain another residence.
In Sept. 2014, however, the ex-couple sorted out their issues through a new yet confidential settlement. According to court records, Palin has filed a motion asking to appear at Monday's hearing telephonically but her lawyer John Tiemessen refused to comment on the hearing.
