Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant, according to OK! Magazine. The 16-year-old sister of Britney Spears and star of Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101 confirmed she is having the child of her longtime boyfriend Casey Aldridge. Jamie told her mother just before Thanksgiving and Britney is just learning the news today from the tabloids. The Associated Press reports:
Spears is 12 weeks along and initially kept the news to herself when she learned of the pregnancy from an at-home test and subsequent doctor visit, she told the celebrity magazine, which hits stands in New York on Wednesday and the rest of the country by Friday.
Nickelodeon released the following statement:
“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.”
Meanwhile, Spears’ mother Lynne has spoken of her shock at the news.
She says, “I didn’t believe it because Jamie Lynn’s always been so conscientious. She’s never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby.”
And Jamie-Lynn insists she will keep the child, due in June, although she was initially “scared”.
She says, “As soon as I found out for sure from the doctor, I took two weeks to myself where I didn’t tell anybody.”
“Only one of my friends knew because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone’s opinion affect my decision. Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me.”
“It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected. I was in complete and total shock and so was he.”
Meanwhile, big sister, Britney, only discovered Jamie-Lynn was pregnant Tuesday.
Britney found out about the pregnancy through a media outlet, while the rest of the family was told at Thanksgiving. (Loser)
Wow, just wow I don’t know what to say, way to go Spears family, I’m not going to bash her because she’s 16, because weren’t we all having sex at 16, and those that weren’t probably spent their Saturdays studying and doing homework for the following week. The sad thing is I imagine she’ll be a better mother then her sister Britney. At least look at the good side, during the next holidays at least Momma Spears will have one grandchild there.
