Although the 19 year-old ex-fiance of Bristol Palin has limited time with baby Tripp (an arrangement he may contest in court) Johnston knows one thing for sure: "He looks more like me," he tells Entertainment Tonight. "Everyone I've talked to says he looks more like me."

As per a current custody agreement, the one-time Playgirl model only sees Tripp once a week: every Saturday from 9 to 2. ET's cameras follow the young dad on custody day as he drives Tripp through snowy Alaska streets, gives him a bath in the sink, hangs out in a stocked new playroom at Johnston's home and, yes, diaper changing. No complaints here, Johnston says. "You've got to do it." he says. "Everything is awesome."

He sadly explains that he missed Tripp's first birthday party held by the Palin clan. "I wish I was there for that but I couldn't be," he says. "He looked really cute in all the pictures and I am glad. Just seeing him happy is good, even though I'm not there."
Despite their split, he and Bristol keep it civil for Tripp's sake. "She tells me if something's new, but, you know, it is as far as we get," he says, noting that daughter of Republican star Sarah Palin called him when Tripp first said "Dad."
Remember these shocking splits?
The exes even got together for a family meal in Anchorage. Mother, father and baby had "dinner, just the three of us, and got him some ice cream. It was pretty fun. We just got to be good parents and work with each other. We keep conversation to Tripp and that's about it."

Last month, court documents revealed that Bristol Palin, 19, is demanding $1750 a month in child support -- retroactive to their son's Dec. 27, 2008 birth. In a sworn statement, Palin said: "I have received limited and sporadic financial assistance from Levi."
Tell Us What You Think
32that is one ugly baby :(
If Levi is such a great dad why does he have to have a camera crew with him to visit his son? He is just a publicity seeking creep. Why doesn'the get a real job?
Levi is out to lunch. The infant looks like Bristol.
He is a baby.You people are so mean.He is a cute little guy!
This Levi guy has the slimiest looking face, yucky. This photo of the kid luckily does NOT look like him, this guy's stupid and nuts.
Levi is a dirt bag! He can't get any work in hollywood so now he's got to put the baby out there for attention. The news media should REALLY investigate this disgusting boy, he's got demons and everybody in Wasilla knows! Let's get you reporters to report the "real" Levi.
I agree with you Beth, that kid look exactly like his mother. Too bad about his stupid name though!
Palin deserves having him as a son in law, shooting his mouth off revealing how much of a phony she is.
Levi is a jerk! The baby looks likes Bristol. He has her high cheeckbones. As far as the child support goes, it is up to the courts. If Levi has the income, the court will award the support accordingly.
Goes to show how many teenagers post on here. Anyone that thinks $1750 is a lot of money to a guy that's been racking in the dough for his nude shots and spilling the beans to the tabs is out of touch with the grown up world.
The baby looks just like Levi's mom. Right down to the blue eyes.
Everyone always tells the dad that the baby looks like him. That is people's way of making the dad feel more of a connection. This baby def. doesn't look like him in my opinion.
Are you kidding me? That baby looks just like Bristol!
The baby sure looks more like his daddy Johnston.
this baby looks like his mom! this guy will do anything to get in the spot light! levi if you actually read these comments YOUR AN Ahole! i feel sorry for the palin family that they are stuck with for the rest of their lives! good luck bristol dealing with this dirt bag.

$1750 per month?...it must take a lot to raise a kid in Alaska!! Either that or Sarah didn't make enough money hawking her ghost written book a few months ago!!
Levi is freaking crazy. That's Bristol's face on a baby. He looks just like mommy!
The baby obviously looks like Bristol! Looks just like her
