Bristol Palin Gives Update on Year-Long Struggle With Rare Facial Paralysis [View all]

In January 2025, Bristol Palin revealed she had facial paralysis. One year later, the 35-year-old daughter of former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin posted an update on her condition.

“Today’s day 323 of my face being paralyzed,” Palin says in the video, on January 3, 2026, in response to a fan-submitted question.......

Palin previously revealed that she woke up with a “weird little sensation in [her] face,” after which she completely lost the ability to move the left side of her face. Doctors suspected Bell’s palsy, a condition that can make the muscles of one side of the face temporarily weaken, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Typically, Bell’s palsy improves within six months, but Palin’s latest Instagram story update indicates that has not been the case for her.
