00:00
Controversy seems to court the family of this one-time vice presidential candidate no matter
00:05
what they do.
00:06
And with the revelation of her husband's quiet divorce filing, the rumor mill has once again
00:10
lurched into motion.
00:12
Let's explore some of the potential reasons why Sarah Palin is getting divorced.
00:18
Todd Palin filed for divorce from Sarah Palin on, of all days, his birthday, September 6,
00:23
2019.
00:24
Todd used the couple's initials on the filing in an apparent attempt to conceal identities,
00:29
but savvy reporters figured it out because their youngest son's birthday was listed in
00:33
the documents.
00:34
And speaking of the docs, Todd shared a very curious detail about why he and Sarah won't
00:39
be able to make it work.
00:41
Lawyers for the snowmobile hobbyists cited an incompatibility of temperament, such that they
00:45
find it impossible to live together as husband and wife.
00:49
Not only do we find it interesting that Todd filed the papers first, but we're shocked to
00:53
learn these two aren't compatible.
00:55
The couple appeared to share the same interests and conservative values, after all.
00:59
But as the old saying goes, you never know what happens behind closed doors.
01:04
We might be surprised by Todd and Sarah Palin's impending divorce, but one person close to
01:09
the family probably isn't โ Bristol Palin's ex, Levi Johnston.
01:14
The avid hunter, who is the father of Bristol's eldest son, Tripp, claimed the two have been
01:18
at odds for a long time.
01:20
When asked in a 2009 interview with Radar Online whether the pair had marital issues, Johnston
01:25
replied that they've had issues, quote, from day one.
01:28
Funny.
01:29
Ha ha.
01:30
Not funny.
01:31
He also suggested these supposed problems were to blame for Sarah resigning from her position
01:36
as the governor of Alaska in July 2009, a move that sparked great controversy and confusion
01:41
at the time.
01:42
We're not sure what problems supposedly existed between Todd and Sarah, but Johnston denied cheating
01:47
played a role.
01:48
Speaking of infidelity, explosive claims about Sarah and Todd Palin's marriage came to light
01:54
following the publication of Joe McGinnis' 2011 book The Rogue, Searching for the Real
01:59
Sarah Palin.
02:01
In the expose, McGinnis accused Palin of having an affair with NBA star Glenn Rice while she
02:05
was dating Todd.
02:07
Rice seemingly confirmed the hookup, telling the author,
02:09
"...we just hit it off.
02:11
In a short time, we got to know a lot about one another.
02:13
It was all done in a respectful way.
02:16
Nothing hurried."
02:17
But wait!
02:18
That's not all.
02:19
McGinnis also accused Sarah of engaging in a long-term affair with Todd's former business
02:23
partner and friend, Brad Hanson, during their marriage.
02:26
The outdoorsman supposedly ended his business relationship with Hanson after discovering the
02:30
so-called affair, which McGinnis alleged was Sarah's way to retaliate against Todd's alleged
02:35
infidelities.
02:36
Both Sarah and Brad denied any affair.
02:38
Although money can be a big factor for divorce, this doesn't seem to be the case for Sarah
02:44
and Todd Palin.
02:45
Case in point, in court documents, Todd requested their debts and assets be split equally, according
02:51
to Radar Online.
02:52
It seems fair given Todd has been by Sarah's side throughout the duration of her career
02:56
and the fact that he has always held steady jobs.
02:59
According to the couple's 2007 federal income tax filing, Todd pulled in over $90,000 working
03:04
as an oil field production operator and commercial salmon fisherman in Alaska.
03:08
As of the making of this video, the couple's combined net worth is estimated to be an impressive
03:14
$12 million.
03:15
And although most of that cash was arguably accrued by Sarah, who has become an author
03:19
and reality TV star since becoming a high-profile political figure, we find it telling that Todd
03:24
didn't request child support given that the couple will likely share custody of their young
03:28
son Trigg.
03:29
This appears to be a what's fair is fair kind of deal instead of a money grab, suggesting
03:33
this split wasn't about moolah in the end.
03:37
Conflicts regarding parenting decisions can often lead to divorce, but it appears that Sarah
03:41
and Todd Palin have always been on the same page about their kiddos.
03:45
Case in point, just months before Todd filed for divorce, the pair spotted supporting youngest
03:50
daughter Piper at her high school graduation in May 2019.
03:54
Sarah captioned a shot of herself with Todd and their family,
03:56
"'Everyone needs a Piper Indy Grace in life.
03:59
Girl makes the world a better place.'"
04:01
Although things were probably rough between the two at this point, it's clear they put
04:05
their differences aside for the sake of their children.
04:08
Furthermore, Todd requested joint custody of their son Trigg, and if he had wanted to hurt
04:12
Sarah, as is sometimes part of the unfortunate reality of ugly divorces, he could have requested
04:17
full custody.
04:19
We're all as idealists, but we have a feeling this breakup wasn't about their kids, especially
04:23
since four out of five are now adults.
