Star Biography

Tripp Palin Johnston loves traveling between Alaska and Texas, where he's embraced by a large, active family, including his mother, former Dancing with the Stars contestant Bristol Palin, and grandmother Sarah Palin. He is an all-outdoors-all-the-time all-American boy. He loves fishing, four-wheeling, snow machines, dirt bikes, football, soccer ... "his little sisters and God," Tripp reports! Never having danced before, Tripp looks forward to the athleticism required in this competition, and mostly just wants to have fun.

Tripp (age 9) is partnered with Hailey Bills and mentored by Jenna Johnson.
