Bristol Palin slams ex Dakota Meyer claiming she had to drive herself to and from hospital during birth of daughter Sailor
Days after Bristol Palin's divorce was finalized with Dakota Meyer, the 27-year-old took to her Instagram Stories to throw shade on her ex-husband. She posted some throwback pictures from the time of the birth of their daughter Sailor, who was born in December 2015. Dakota shared three pictures on her Instagram: the first picture showed her holding Sailor in her arms after giving birth, the second picture was of her son Tripp meeting baby Sailor. "First two loves of my life," she wrote. She has since welcomed a third child, Atlee Bay, her second with ex-marine Dakota. While the first two pictures came with a positive message, things took a different turn when she posted the third image.
Dakota took to the stories to post another picture with baby Sailor and she captioned the picture as, "Drove myself to and from the hospital to deliver my baby girl. I honestly had never felt more alone in my life — but this will forever be the most defining/empowering moment to me. Thank you, Lord." The birth of their daughter came when Bristol and Dakota were estranged. While Bristol lived in Alaska with her family, Dakota was thousands of miles away at his home in Kentucky, as reported by Daily Mail.
In May, Dakota was fighting for his daughter's last name to be changed from Palin to Meyer. He also shared that Bristol made it difficult for him to meet his daughter. Dakota and Bristol had announced their engagement in March 2015. The pair had been planning a wedding for May 23 but just days before, they suddenly called their wedding off. However, just a month after their wedding was supposed to take place, Bristol took to her blog to announce that she was pregnant.
"I know this has been and will be, a huge disappointment to my family, to my close friends, and to many of you," she said.
"Tripp, this new baby, and I will all be fine because God is merciful." She later revealed that she had planned her pregnancy because she always wanted a bigger family. However, at the time of pregnancy announcement, neither Dakota nor Bristol confirmed who was the father of the child. Dakota broke his silence after Bristol was born in December 2015.
This was the start of the bitter custody battle between them. But, surprisingly, the two managed to reconcile and get back together just a few months. They then married in a secret June 2016 ceremony. The two went on to have another daughter, Atlee Bay, in May 2017, before announcing their divorce earlier this year. While the two may not be in good terms, Bristol sure has moved on in life.
Recently, it was announced that she is going to replace Farrah Abraham for 'Teen Mom OG'. She even took to Instagram to announce the news. "I am excited to join MTV's 'Teen Mom OG.' I look forward to sharing my experiences and hope that I can help others on their journey," she wrote.
