Unlike other teenage mothers who have joined the 16 and Pregnant franchise and its spin-offs, Bristol is long accustomed to the spotlight. At 17 years old, her pregnancy with Tripp was announced at the 2008 Republican National Convention, shortly after her mother was chosen as John McCain’s running mate.
Sarah Palin’s said in a statement: “We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.”
