Teen mom and abstinence advocate Bristol Palin has reunited with her Playgirl model ex-boyfriend Levi Johnston, Us Weekly reported Tuesday.
The couple, who broke off their engagement in March 2009 after the birth of their son Tripp, “are still very close,” a source told the magazine.
“Now that Mama Palin is out of the picture and Bristol is on her own in Anchorage, they spend more time together than most people think,” Us Weekly quoted the source as saying.
“Levi even stays overnight. I even think they are back together,” the source added.
Johnston, 20, was forced to pay $21,000 in debts to his ex-girlfriend, after an Alaskan judge ruled last month that he lied about his income to avoid the payments.
Palin, 19, has joined her mother and 2008 Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin on the speakers circuit, commanding up to $30,000 per appearance. A member of the Single Source Speakers Bureau, the younger Palin’s profile says she is available to speak on “pregnancy prevention, abstinence, faith and life.”
The couple has had a rocky public relationship as Johnston repeatedly criticized Palin’s mother in the media. In an interview in last month’s issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Palin said Johnston “was like a stranger to me.”
“I’m in no rush. One day I’ll find a nice guy,” Palin told the magazine.
