Sarah Palin says she was unaware that her daughter, then 17, was sexually active when she learnt about her pregnancySarah Palin was shocked and devastated after knowing that her daughter Bristol was sexually active with Levi Johnston, the former Republican vice presidential candidate tells chat show host Barbara Walters in an upcoming interview.
Palin's daughter Bristol has a child out of wedlock with the 19-year-old resident Johnston. She gave birth
to his son, Tripp, on December 27.
Bristol was a high school senior when she delivered her baby. She and Johnston, who posed in Playgirl this past week, split soon after the birth of their son.

Palin claims she didn't know Bristol was sexually active before she learned her daughter, then 17, was pregnant. She sat down with Walters for a five-part series of interviews.
In a segment of a wide-ranging interview to begin airing on ABC's Good Morning America on Tuesday, Palin tells Walters, "I was shocked. Truthfully, we were devastated," after her teenager daughter told her about her pregnancy.
Bristol's pregnancy was publicly revealed just after Palin accepted John McCain's invitation to become the Republican vice presidential nominee. Bristol, who is now 18, was pregnant in September 2008.
Levi: Palin knewAt the time that the scandal was exposed to the world and when they lived under her roof, Johnston had claimed that her onetime mom-in-law-to-be was aware that her daughter was having sex with him.
Johnston and Bristol were high school sweethearts, who planned to wed after graduating but parted ways earlier this year.
