Bristol Palin's Teen Fiancé on Parenthood: "We're Up for It!"
Monday October 13, 2008
![]() Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images In a new interview, Levi Johnston denies he is being forced into a shotgun wedding with 17-year-old Bristol Palin, who is pregnant with his child. "None of that's true," Levi, 18, told the Associated Press while standing in the driveway of his family home in Wasilla, Alaska. "We both love each other. We both want to marry each other. And that's what we are going to do. "We were planning on getting married a long time ago with or without the kid," added Levi, who has dated Bristol since his freshman year in high school and has her name tattooed on his ring finger. "That was the plan from the start." See photos of more shocking teen pregnancies! The two - who are set to wed next summer - will welcome their baby around Dec. 18. "We're up for it. I'm excited to have my first kid," said Levi, who has dropped out of high school to take a job on the North Slope oil fields as an apprentice electrician. "It's going to be a lot of hard work, but we can handle it." He also hinted they're expecting a boy, telling the AP: "I'm looking forward to having him. I'm going to take him hunting and fishing. He'll be everywhere with me." (For the record, he said his MySpace page — where he proclaimed, "I'm a ... Redneck," and "I don't want kids" -- was a joke his friends created a few years ago.) Levi said he wasn't forced to campaign with Sarah Palin; Bristol invited him to the Republican National Convention. "At first, I was nervous," he admitted. "Then I was like, 'Whatever.'"

Of course, he is still rooting for John McCain -- and Palin. "I just hope she wins," he told the AP. "She's my future mother-in-law. She better win."
