Bristol Palin, daughter of former Governor Sarah Palin, revealed on Cheryl Burke's podcast that her 15-year-old son, Tripp, decided to move back to Alaska to live with his father, Levi Johnston, and finish high school. Tripp informed Bristol of his decision through a six-word text message, which left her devastated and initially resistant. Despite her emotional struggle, Bristol acknowledged that Tripp needs his father at this stage in his life and has been adjusting well to his new environment, engaging in activities like hunting and fishing. Bristol continues to maintain close contact with Tripp through daily calls and FaceTime. This change has significantly altered the family dynamic, as Bristol raises her two younger daughters in Texas with a shared custody arrangement with her ex-husband Dakota Meyer.
