Once upon a time in America, kids grew up, dated, got serious, got engaged, then married and had kids. Now, it seems they just date, get pregnant, then get engaged — at least if they are Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney’s little sis, who turns the grand old age of 17 next week on April 4.
Word comes from Us Weekly magazine on Wednesday that Jamie Lynn, who stars as a high school student on the Nickelodeon TV network’s popular “Zoey 101,” is now engaged to her ‘long-time” boyfriend Casey Aldridge, the father of her as yet unborn baby.
Jamie Lynn shocked her fans and celebrity watchers back in December when she revealed she was pregnant.
This is not the first report that Aldridge popped the marriage question, but it does source the news to a family member, Spears’ cousin Tina Robinson.
“They probably weren’t expecting (the proposal) to be, like, right now, but with her being pregnant, that really pushed it up,” Robinson told Us Weekly.
Yes Tina, probably did.

we’re not in the stone age anymore, people get serious at a younger age. She’s been with her boyfriend for a long time and she’s big enough to make her own desicions. Birth control might sound like a simple solution but it doesn’t always work! I had a baby in January and I turned 18 a couple of months ago. I was really shocked when I found out because I was on the pill and I was scared but I got my head round it and having a baby is the best thing thats happened to me. Jamie has enough going on at the moment without people she doesn’t know critisising her for having a life.
- Posted by LauraI’m sorry but doesn’t this seem a little odd to anyone? I mean you really have to question the parenting skills for Jamie and Brittany. What goes on in that house-hold that makes it ok for 16-year olds to get pregnant? One would think that she would have learned from her sister! oh well! I guess she is just as stupid.
- Posted by Anonymousi think that it is cool for her to be having a baby!
- Posted by kortni vaughni am 17 and im due in october.i am still with the babys dad and we are very much in love! i dont work and have never had a job.although he works full time and supports me ad will also support the baby! im not too young and niether is jamie-lyn so leave her alone people she obvisly noz what shes doin like me!!!!
- Posted by stacieI think it’s a good idea to get pregant at least after the age of 25 - but sigh…..teen pregnacy sure increased over the last few years! I’m really suprised that out oif all of those “dirrty” - coff coff - c.a. celebrities - jamie would be the one.
- Posted by Sophiai think it is great that she is engaged but she might of gotten pregnant just a tad too early. But she is coping with it really well and i think it suits her being pregnant, but one thing is i hope she stays with the father (Casey Aldridge)
- Posted by HollyHey it think that whatever makes Jamie happy is her business and no one elses… if she wants to be with this guy then everyone needs to lay off of her and leave her alone
- Posted by Samanthaokay.
- Posted by Heatherhaving the baby is one thing but getting
married. seriously.
her show zoey101 is gunna be gone.
so thats gay.
shes 16,and everyone knows that he cheated
on her((already))
I would be more supportive of her if she were making smart decissions after this happend…getting married is not right. Shes doing it because shes pregnant, not because she loves this guy. I dont trust him.

- Posted by krissyI REALLY HOPE YOU DON’T TURN OUT LIKE YOUR OLDER SISTER.
- Posted by kayand paul.. you have some serious freakin issues if you think that birth control is 100% effective! 98% AT BEST! And besides, even TAKING birth control you can get pregnant.
