Oh, teenage relationship drama! I remember it well. Minus the part where the guy knocked me up just in time for my mom to be announced as the vice presidential candidate for the Republican Party. Us Weekly’s sources claim that Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin are back together! Shock. If you remember, shortly after the McCain-Palin ticket lost, Bristol Palin and her boyfriend/fiancée Levi Johnston welcomed their baby Tripp into the world, and then they promptly broke off their engagement and their relationship. Lots of other stuff happened over the past year and a half – like Levi posing for Playgirl, Bristol saying a lot of contradictory bullsh-t about abstinence and money, and Bristol and Levi even got their lawyers involved for some child support issues. Along the way, the Palin family went out of their way to demonize Levi, and Levi seemed more than happy to tell anyone anything about the Palin family. All in all, the Johnstons and the Palins were like the Alaskan grifter versions of the Hatfields and McCoys, the Capulets and Montagues. So… are Levi and Bristol Alaska’s Romeo and Juliet?

Despite all the drama, baby Tripp Johnston’s estranged parents are making it work after all. Although Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston broke off their engagement in March 2009, an insider tells UsMagazine.com that relations have thawed considerably between the young parents to son Tripp, nearly 18 months.

“Bristol and Levi are still very close,” a source close to Bristol, 19, tells Us. The eldest daughter to former Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin claimed in the June issue of Harper’s Bazaar that ex Johnston, 20, was “a stranger to me.”

But the source reveals, “Now that Mama Palin is out of the picture and Bristol is on her own in Anchorage, they spend more time together than most people think.”

Adds the source: “Levi even stays overnight. I even think they are back together.”

Palin told RadarOnline.com, “Levi and me are co-parents of Tripp and we are actively working on being good parents together.”

Added Johnston, “Nothing is more important to me or Bristol than our son Tripp. We are taking active steps to work cooperatively in raising him, and in sharing the joys — and challenges — of parenthood.”

During a January appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Bristol said that she would not have sex again until she weds, explaining, “I just think it’s a goal to have, and I think other young women should have that goal.” She later advocated for teen abstinence in a PSA for the Candie’s Foundation.

In February, a judge ordered Johnston to pay his ex $18,500 in back child support, although their custody battle has yet to be resolved in court.

That same month, Johnston told Entertainment Tonight he and Palin kept it civil for the sake of their son, which he then saw once a week. “She tells me if something’s new, but, you know, it is as far as we get.”

Things have changed since then, the Bristol source says. “Bristol is a great mom and cares for Tripp; [she] and Levi are raising him together.”

Yeah, they probably are back together. But they’ll probably break up again, and then they’ll just keep on doing that over and over again until Bristol gets pregnant again (just a guess!). No, of course she wouldn’t get pregnant again! Don’t you know that she’s a highly-paid spokeswoman for abstinence?!? Beyond that tiny little hypocrisy, I have to say that I think it’s great that Bristol and Levi are at the very least spending time together, with Tripp. I think together, Levi and Bristol might actually make one good parent.
