Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin’s high school sweetheart, and father of her unborn baby may not be ready for fatherhood just yet.
Bristol, the 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, is five-months pregnant.
Palin announced the pregnancy in a statement to Reuters on Monday. She also used the occasion to reveal Bristol and Levi’s marriage plans. She said, “Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family.”
The New York Post reports that although Levi admits to being ‘in a relationship’ on his personal My Space page, the teen hockey player makes the candid revelation that he does not want to be a parent stating, “I don’t want kids.”
The teen also uses the site to talk openly about how he likes to spend his time. He boasts, “I’m a f – - -in’ redneck who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes. But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s- – - and just f – - -in’ chillin’ I guess.”
He warns, “Ya f – - – with me I’ll kick [your] ass.”
McCain announced Palin as his running mate on Friday.
The 44-year-old, who is expected to be a grandmother by Christmas, will be the first woman nominated by the Republican Party to run on a national ticket.
