Together, Sarah and Todd built a beautiful family, raising five children named after their love for sports. Even as her political career took off, Sarah’s dedication to her family remained unwavering. Todd, a champion snowmobile racer, supported her and often called himself the “First Dude.”
Sarah’s political journey was fraught with trials, including the public scrutiny of their unmarried teenage daughter’s pregnancy. Despite this, the Palins stood by Bristol, embracing their roles as grandparents.
After three decades of marriage, Sarah faced her most challenging chapter in 2019 when Todd unexpectedly filed for divorce via email, just days after their 31st anniversary. The news shattered Sarah, but she sought counseling and fought to heal the wounds. Her children stood by her, reflecting their belief in the power of vows made before God and their unwavering support for their mother.
