Levi Keith Johnston (born May 3, 1990) is the fiancé of Bristol Palin. He first received media attention in August 2008 when U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin announced that her daughter Bristol was five months pregnant and that Levi was the father. Levi and Bristol broke off their engagement in March 2009,and Levi had several public feuds with the Palin family for which he later apologized. The couple announced they were engaged again in July 2010. After working in the Alaskan oil fields, Johnston began pursuing a career in the entertainment industry, aspiring to be a model and an actor. Family life and education Johnston is the eldest child of Keith and Sherry Johnston. He has a younger sister, Mercede "Sadie" Johnston. The family is of Mexican and Canadian descent. Johnston attended Wasilla High School, playing on the hockey team, but dropping out of school in his junior year.He worked full-time on the Alaska North Slope oil fields as an apprentice electrician, quitting in January 2009. According to Johnston, he and Bristol began dating during their freshman year of high school. After losing a promise ring on a caribou hunt, Johnston had
Bristol's name tattooed on his finger.

On September 1, 2008, Sarah Palin announced that her daughter, Bristol, was pregnant by Johnston, and that the two would be married. Johnston denied claims that he was being pressured into a shotgun wedding, stating, "We were planning on getting married a long time ago with or without the kid. That was the plan from the start."The couple's son, Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, was born on December 27, 2008, but the two broke off their engagement in March 2009. In May 2009, Johnston said that their relationship was improving and that they were determined to jointly raise Tripp. Later, Bristol began a child  custody case against Johnston, seeking sole custody and child support. In July 2010, Bristol Palin and Johnston announced that they had reunited and were engaged for the second time. The public statement was made before Bristol and Johnston's families were informed of the decision, and as of late July 2010, Sarah Palin had not given her blessing. The couple was reported to be seeking to star in a reality show together, with the possibility described as "slim" because of the potential that Palin family secrets would be aired. Unzipped Media, the leading publishers of erotic men’s magazines, has made a formal offer to Levi Johnston, the father of former Vice presidential candidate Sarah
Palin’s grandson.
