Britney’s little sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, is pregnant. And the Nickelodeon actress, 16, is keeping the baby that she’s having with her live-in love, non-celeb Casey Aldridge, 19.
It’s 100% confirmed.
Kid friendly Nickelodeon, which produces the tween-skewing Zoey 101, just released this statement about their biggest star:
“We respect Jamie Lynn’s decision to take responsibility in this sensitive and personal situation. We know this is a very difficult time for her and her family, and our primary concern right now is for Jamie Lynn’s well being.”
Breaking the News to Her Parents
She told her parents just before Thanksgiving. "I didn't believe it because Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious," her mother, Lynne Spears, told OK!.
"She's never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby."
Aldridge's mother, Joyce Aldridge, told TMZ she was "aware of the recent interview regarding her and being pregnant" and that "we are in agreement with everything that was said by Jamie Lynn."
"Everything is fine," Joyce Aldridge added. Spears, a high school junior who is 10 years younger than Britney, had until now escaped much of the attention about her personal life that has surrounded her sister. Jamie Lynn stars as a schoolgirl at the fictitious Pacific Coast Academy in Zoey 101, finishing its third season next month as one of Nickelodeon's highest-rated shows.
