WASILLA, Alaska — The engagement is off for the teenage daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and the father of her baby.

Levi Johnston, 19, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he and Bristol Palin mutually decided “a while ago” to end their relationship. He declined to elaborate.

Bristol Palin, 18, said in a statement to AP that she is “devastated.” The two are the parents of a boy named Tripp, who was born Dec. 27.

Sarah Palin revealed her daughter’s pregnancy days after being named John McCain’s running mate on the Republican presidential ticket.

In an interview that aired on Fox News last month, Bristol Palin said her fiance saw the baby every day and described him as a “hands-on” dad.
