Levi Johnston with baby Tripp
"Bristol and Levi are committed to accomplish what millions of other young parents have accomplished, to provide a loving and secure environment for their child. They are both hard workers, they’re very strong, and have faith they’ve made the right decision in setting aside their own interests to make this child their highest priority."

Levi Johnston with baby Tripp
"This is the REAL Levi...he was at a major Special Needs Olympic event last month supporting disabled and special needs children. (Which he has a history of involvement). Levi then went to California the following weekend to coach the Alaskan Special Olympic hockey team. Did you see him in a tabloid spread? No you did not. Did you see him on the nightly news mugging for the cameras, no you did not. The guy is sincere. He is real. He is not Hollywood."

A lot of people have been talking about Levi lately. His recent appearances on the Tyra Banks Show and the CBS Early Morning Show came about, according to Levi, to correct misinformation about his family and himself. You can find the videos here:

Levi Johnston with baby Tripp
In these recent interviews, contrary to what we read in a preemptive prejudicial statement released to People Magazine on behalf of the Alaska Governor's office before the interviews aired, Levi appears to be a sincere young man who wants nothing more than to be able to share custody of his son, Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston.
Levi Johnston is 18 years old now. Please go back and read the comment above about his involvement in Special Olympics. It might come in handy for the next post.
