LOS ANGELES: The teenage daughter of Republican former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has given birth to a baby boy, People magazine reported on its website Monday.
Bristol Palin, whose teen pregnancy became an election campaign talking point shortly after her mother was confirmed as John McCain's running mate in August, gave birth in Palmer, Alaska on Sunday, People reported.
The child has been named Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, relatives told People. "We think it's wonderful," said Bristol Palin's great aunt Colleen Jones.
"The baby is fine and Bristol is doing well. Everyone is excited," Jones said.
The child's father is apprentice electrician Levi Johnston, who has been dating Palin for three years. The couple are planning to marry in 2009, according to reports.
Johnston's mother Sherry made headlines earlier this month when she was arrested and charged six felony drugs offences.
