Usually bad feelings after a breakup don’t make their way to the news, but when you have a famous Mom like Bristol Palin does, everything said can find its way to the public. In this case, Levi Johnston isn’t just trying to make amends with his ex, but also trying to appease her mother.

“Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true,” he divulges to the media. “I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize.”

Bristol put her two cents in Tuesday stating, “Part of co-parenting is creating healthy and honest relationships between the parents. Tripp one day needs to know the truth and needs to know that even if a mistake is made the honorable thing to do is to own up to it.”

A cold war had erupted been between 20-year-old Johnston and the former vice presidential candidate, complete with accusations of Palin complaining about her appointment as governor of Alaska and whispers of divorce in the Palin household.

Palin responded, citing Johnston’s remarks as “malicious” and smearing him for his controversial playgirl spread and open, carefree comments regarding sexuality on ‘the Tyra Banks Show.’

Despite a bitter custody battle and ill-mannered attitude towards a rather infamous grandmother, Johnston has stated that he and Bristol, who recently made an acting debut on ABC Family’s ‘the Secret Life of the American Teenager,’ want to turn “a new page…as co-parents…and [put] aside the past because doing so is in Tripp’s best interest.”

“So to the Palin family in general and to Sarah Palin in particular, please accept my regrets and forgive my youthful indiscretion,” Johnston says in the statement. “I hope one day to restore your trust.”
