Bristol Palin weds Dakota Meyer, father of her second child

Bristol Palin is officially married.

The 25-year-old daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin married her on-again, off-again beau, Dakota Meyer, reported Entertainment Tonight's Desiree Murphy.

"Life is full of ups and downs but in the end, you'll end up where you're supposed to be," Palin and Meyer told ET. "We are so happy to share with loved ones the wonderful news that we got married!"

"Hard work and God's grace are the foundation of our new life together, and with the love and support of our family we know we can get through anything," they added.

The newlyweds, who are currently on their honeymoon, also gave ET a close-up look at their rings -- Meyer's jewelry is all black, while Palin's features stunning diamonds.

Speculation that the pair had secretly tied the knot began on Tuesday when Meyer posted a telling photo to his Facebook page. In the pic, Palin was sporting an engagement ring and a second band on that finger, seemingly indicting the two said "I do."

"On one hand, we know that everything happens for a reason, and there are no mistakes or coincidences," Meyer, 27, captioned it. "On the other hand, we learn that we can never give up, knowing that with the right tools and energy, we can reverse any decree or karma. So, which is it? Let the Light decide, or never give up? The answer is: both."

Meyer and Palin announced their engagement in March 2015, but called off their wedding just one month later. Rumors that the two had reunited began three months ago when they both started sharing pics of each other and their five-month-old daughter, Sailor Grace. (Palin is also mother to a seven-year-old son, Tripp, with ex Levi Johnston.)

"Baby daddy bff," Palin captioned a pic captured during a recent family trip.

Meyer also recently shared a photo of the two, writing, "Had an amazing time halibut fishing with @bsmp2 yesterday. #lifecouldntbebetter."
