Britney Spears: By Jamie-Lynn’s Side in Labor
Britney Spears: By Jamie-Lynn’s Side in Labor
Playing the role of supportive big sister, Britney Spears is bedside with her Nickelodeon star sis, Jamie-Lynn, at the Mississippi Southwest Regional Medical Center in McComb, Mississippi.
The Gimme More singer has made the cross-country trip as Jamie-Lynn is expected to be giving birth to her first child today (June 19).
As previously reported by , Britney and family arrived in their hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana yesterday afternoon - meeting up with mother Lynne and Jamie Lynn - as the Spears gang prepares for the baby’s arrival.
“They have had nine months to deal with this,” a Spears family friend told press. “Last night was very low-key. There was no last-minute panicking. No one was worried.”
Holy crap: Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant
How do you compete when your older sister is Britney Spears? Little Jamie Lynn, a mere 16 years old, has topped her sister’s head-shaving and child services investigation antics with this bombshell: SHE’S PREGNANT.
Jamie Lynn is the star of Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101, a show that I have never seen but assume is for the pre-teen set. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that show is probably canceled. Nickelodeon’s official statement is in support of Jamie Lynn and “her decision to take responsibility in this sensitive and personal situation.”
The baby daddy is Jamie Lynn’s boyfriend, Casey Aldridge. She met him at church.
Somebody needs go give grandma Lynn Spears a drink. Or a parenting class.
Jamie Lynn Spears gives birth
You knew it was going to happen the minute you heard she was pregnant. Jamie Lynn Spears, the star of Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101 and sister of pop star Britney Spears, has given birth to a baby girl.
A friend of the 17-year-old star requested anonymity for this information. The birth has not officially been announced yet, although it seems to be on all the major news outlets. Who do they think they’re fooling?
The article mentions that baby-daddy is Casey Aldridge, a pipe-layer from Liberty, Mississippi. Insert your own joke here. The couple is not yet married, but announced an engagement a few months ago.
Fortunately, the fourth and final season of Zoey 101 was completed before Jamie Lynn became pregnant. Had she not become pregnant, would it truly have been the final season?
Mind you, this now frees up some time for Jamie Lynn. Maybe she can follow in her sister’s footsteps and get a guest spot on How I Met Your Mother?
Jamie Lynn Sprouts!
The littlest Spears has made way for an even tinier version of herself.
E! News has confirmed that Jamie Lynn Spears and fiancé Casey Aldridge welcomed daughter Maddie Briann this morning, the first child for the young couple.
The tot was born this morning at the Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center in McComb, Miss., near the Spears’ home base of Kentwood, La., just after 9:30 a.m.
Jamie Lynn Spears, 17, and Aldridge, 19, arrived at the hospital at 5 a.m. Her parents, Jamie and Lynne, arrived at 5:45 a.m., followed by siblings Britney and Bryan at about 8.
In a statement to OK! magazine, which paid for exclusive rights to the newborn’s first photo spread, a family rep said: “Both mom and baby are healthy and happy. They are surrounded by their close relatives.”
The tyke tipped the scales at 7 pounds, 11 ounces.
After spending the early morning by her sister’s side, a weary Britney left the hospital about an hour after the birth and headed back to her mother’s house in Kentwood, according to an eyewitness.
Jamie Lynn and her betrothed recently purchased a new home on a five-acre lot in nearby Liberty, where they’ve been busy putting the finishing touches on their daughter’s pink, brown and metallic-green nursery.
In town to greet her new niece was aunt Britney, who flew in from Los Angeles along with dad Jamie and brother Bryan on Wednesday morning. The trio touched down in New Orleans and drove to matriarch Lynne Spears’ home in Kentwood, Britney’s first visit to her hometown since Jamie Lynn’s baby shower in early May.
While still mainly known for being Britney’s sis and the star of the Nickelodeon sitcom Zoey 101, Jamie Lynn confirmed that she was about 12 weeks pregnant in December, telling OK! magazine, “I was in complete and total shock and so was [Aldridge].”
“As soon as I found out for sure from the doctor, I took two weeks to myself where I didn’t tell anybody,” she said. “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.”
Despite rumors of trouble in paradise, the teenagers got engaged in March, with plans to tie the knot after their baby arrived.
