She’s elated! Sarah Palin opened up about her daughter Bristol Palin’s surprise marriage to ex-fiancé Dakota Meyer in a new interview with Inside Edition on Friday, July 1.
After filming an appearance as a celebrity panelist on ABC’s revival of Match Game, the former governor of Alaska, 52, gushed about the happy couple’s nuptials.
“That’s the best, man — Bristol and Dakota and their little baby girl, Sailor,” she said. “It’s all good. Welcome to our family!”
Bristol, 25, and Meyer, 28, have had their fair share of ups and downs over the years. The pair, who first met in 2014, called off their engagement in May 2015, days before they were set to walk down the aisle. A month later, Bristol announced she was pregnant with her first child with Meyer (the abstinence advocate is also mom to Tripp, 7, with ex-fiancé Levi Johnston).
As previously reported, the on-again, off-again couple quietly tied the knot last month.
“All of our families’ hearts are filled with love for Dakota, Bristol, Tripp, and Sailor Grace,” Sarah captioned a Facebook photo of the newlyweds on June 9. “It’s been a rewarding and interesting ride this past year — but these two sure do love an adventure.”
Last month, Bristol shared a family photo on Instagram along with a touching Father’s Day tribute. “Thank you for putting our family first, working so hard, and giving our kids the most solid foundation,” she wrote to her new husband on June 19.
Meanwhile, Sarah has been extremely busy lately as she travels on the 2016 election campaign trail in support of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.
“You can’t just be a thumb-sucker and decide, ‘Oh, I’m not gonna show up. I’m gonna stay home. I’m not even gonna vote,’” the politician joked in the interview with Inside Edition on Friday. “That’s the worst thing anybody can do.”
