Sarah Palin’s daughter Willow has revealed that she is pregnant with her third child — a baby boy — nearly two years after she and her husband Ricky Bailey welcomed twin girls.
With her eighth grandchild arriving sometime this spring, the former GOP vice presidential candidate has plenty to celebrate with her family over the holiday season.
Willow, 27, announced the joyous news on Instagram, where she shared a short video of herself showing off her growing baby bump in a form-fitting hunter green dress on Sunday.

‘Being a mommy to these girls is my favorite thing,’ she wrote on Instagram.

Willow’s older sister Bristol has three children: daughters Sailor Grace, five, and Atlee Bay, four, with her ex-husband Dakota Meyer and a son Tripp, 12, with her former fiancé Levi Johnston.
In 2008, Bristol caused a scandal during her mother’s vice-presidential campaign when she became pregnant out of wedlock at the age of 18.
The former Teen Mom OG star gave birth to Tripp in December 2008, eight months after her mother Sarah welcomed her fifth child Trig, who was born with Down’s syndrome.
Meanwhile, Willow’s older brother Track, now 32, was 22 years old when he welcomed his daughter Kyla Grace with his wife Britta Hanson in 2011.

The two filed for divorce in 2012 and Britta received custody of their daughter.
Track also has a four-year-old son Charlie Mitchell with his ex-girlfriend Jordan Loewe. In January 2016, he was arrested after he allegedly attacked Jordon and threatened to shoot himself.
A few months later, she learned she was pregnant with Charlie.
Then, in 2018, Track was arrested and jailed on domestic abuse charges the day before Willow and Ricky’s wedding in Talkeetna, Alaska.
Authorities said he ‘assaulted’ a female ‘acquaintance’ at his home and tried to stop her from calling the police by taking away her phone.
Track is often absent from the Palin family’s social media photos, and it’s unclear if they have a relationship with his children.
