Levi Johnston (born 1990) is an American teenager who was the subject of extensive media scrutiny during and after the 2008 United States presidential election. He was then the fiancé and the father of the child of Bristol Palin, whose mother is the former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who was the Republican vice-presidential nominee. A few months following the election and the birth of his son, Johnston and Palin ended their engagement, and Johnston has publicly feuded with the Palin family.
Johnston attended Wasilla High School, where he played hockey. An Associated Press article after the 2008 Republican convention portrayed Johnston as a tall and muscular "heartthrob" and avid hunter, who has hunted bears, sheep, elk, and caribou, and who has "antlers scattered about his yard."
Johnston and comedian Kathy Griffin attended the 2009 Teen Choice Awards together. The next day Johnston appeared on CNN's Larry King Live in which Griffin was guest-hosting. During the interview Griffin made numerous references to their relationship, and announced that he will remove the wedding ring tattoo bearing Bristol Palin's name. The interview was in sharp contrast to a June 16, 2009 Larry King Live show in which both Griffin and Johnston appeared on the show. At the time, Griffin complained that Johnston was taking up her time on the show and she mocked him for not being able to spell his own name.
