Bristol Palin says being a young mother is “hard”, and now she has vowed no more sex until she and her pipeline worker boyfriend are married.
Palin, 21, tells In Touch that she is determined to walk down the aisle with Giacinto “Gino” Paoletti before they think about having another child. “Gino and I are going to wait until marriage,” she tells the magazine.
“I’m doing what’s best for me. It’s between me and God, and I know it’s right.”
Bristol, the oldest daughter of Sarah Palin and now the star of a new Lifetime reality show “Life’s a Tripp”, became a single mother at 18, giving birth to son Tripp in 2009.
But she tells the magazine that being a teen mom was difficult. She explained, “My sister Willow is 17, and when I was her age, I was eight months pregnant, and I look at her and I think, ‘Holy cow, I was just a baby! I don’t care what your background is — it’s so hard.”
She insists that she would never trade in Tripp, now three, but she wants to use her story to educate other teens. She added: ““Since I have this platform, I want to use it for good. I want to let girls know that this isn’t ideal, this isn’t fun, this isn’t easy.”
