As we discussed on Valentine’s Day, Bristol Palin and Dakota Meyer have broken up. They married in June 2016 after a rather tortured courtship that involved one canceled wedding, a surprise pregnancy, a possible paternity test, a reconciliation, one in-wedlock pregnancy and a move to Texas. I didn’t realize/remember that Bristol and Dakota moved to Texas, honestly. I thought they were living in Alaska. But they’ve been living in Austin, and that’s where Dakota filed for divorce.
Bristol Palin‘s husband, Dakota Meyer, has officially filed for divorce after less than two years of marriage. The Medal of Honor recipient tried to keep the split under wraps by using only his and Palin’s initials in the documents, but PEOPLE has obtained the papers filed in a Travis County court in Austin, Texas.
According to the papers, Meyer said he (D.L.M.) and Palin (B.S.M.M.) are in the process of separating and cited “discord or conflict of personalities” as the reason for their split. The discord, the papers said, “destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation.”
Meyer, who shares two young daughters with Palin, Atlee Bay, 9 months, and Sailor Grace, 2, said he believes he and Palin will enter into a written agreement over the custody of their children as well as the division of their estate. (Palin also has a son, Tripp, 9, with ex Levi Johnston.)
A source knowledgeable of the situation tells PEOPLE Meyer moved out of their home in Austin, Texas, around Christmas. The couple, who married in June 2016, have had their share of relationship problems. After announcing their engagement in March 2015, they called off their nuptials just days before they were due to wed in May 2015.
As I was looking around to see if there was any new dirt on what exactly went down between Dakota and Bristol, I found this Patheos blog post from last week. Bristol is a blogger, remember? She blogs about family-values conservative sh-t, and last week she was whining because Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon slammed Mike Pence. Bristol had a lot of dumb thoughts about that, and it was just a reminder to me: Bristol thinks she’s very “pure” and that she has the moral authority to judge people who are “lesser” than her. She still believes that even with her past. I personally don’t care that she can’t make a marriage work for two solid years, or that she had two out-of-wedlock pregnancies or that she and her family promote Donald Trump as the “family values” president. But I just like to point out all of the hypocrisy.
