He’s won over her family, but Bristol Palin’s new boyfriend is not the golden boy she seems to think he is.
According to his Facebook page, Giancinto ‘Gino’ Paoletti, supports homophobic websites, mocks people with Down’s Syndrome and even ridicules Sarah Palin’s reality show.
The 20-year-old, who, like the Palins, is from Wasilla, Alaska, has been dating the mother-of-one for just a couple of months, though the couple say they have been friends for a long time.
In an interview last month, Miss Palin, also 20, called him ‘a good guy, a family guy, and a Christian’, that her parents ‘like a lot’.
But Mr Paoletti, who works for Refrigeration Unlimited revealed on his online profile that he is a fan of the homophobic ‘Twilight is gay’ page.
His conversations with other users discuss whether or not he would have sex with a girl who was ‘250 and has down sindrome [sic].’
They also refer to people as ‘n****’ and even ridicule Sarah Palin’s reality show, calling it ‘Idiot’s of Alaska [sic]’.
Mr Paoletti has since edited his page to remove the offensive content, but not before screenshots were published online.
Miss Palin, who lives in Arizona with her two-year-old son, Tripp, from a previous relationship with Levi Johnston, went public with her new relationship last month.
In an interview with E! she said: ‘He’s awesome with Tripp and we’ve been really good friends for a long time, and he’s just a really good guy.
‘He’s a good guy. He’s a family guy. He’s a Christian. We have all the same religious beliefs and our families both come first in our lives, and we just have a lot in common…He loves Tripp and he’s just awesome to be around.’
She called her parents ‘super-supportive, and said they were also fond of her new beau.
‘They like him a lot,’ she said.
But she added that she was in no rush to get married or have more children.
‘I’m taking it really slow. I don’t want another relationship that’s out in the public eye like mine and Levi’s was,’ she explained.
‘It’s definitely going to go slow. I’m not in a rush to get married or anything like that. We’re only 20 and we’re just having a good time right now.
‘I’m going to wait to have kids until I’m a lot older… [Tripp] is a handful. He’s a rowdy kid.’
She revealed that she had full custody of the child, and the fact that she has made her base in Arizona was not a problem for Mr Johnston.
‘When Levi asks to see him, then I will make a trip to Alaska so that he could see him.
