The 21-year-old mom, who now lives in an apartment under her mom's TV studio, said she was also concerned about her 3-year-old son, Tripp's, welfare.

"He's going to be starting preschool soon, so we needed to settle into a routine," Bristol continued.

And Tripp's grandmother is happy to have them both back home.

"It's great having Bristol here," Sarah told the mag. "She makes good decisions, and she's always thinking long-term about her and Tripp's future."

So, tell us...what do you think of Bristol's move? Do you think she has really ditched Hollywood for good? Sound off in the comments!
