Pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears has agreed to give up her baby.
The teen sister of pop wreck Britney Spears will hand over the baby to her mum Lynne as soon as it is born so she can concentrate on her career.
Lynne will then raise the child at the family’s home in rural Kentwood, Louisiana, away from Hollywood.
Jamie Lynn, just 16, made the heartbreaking decision after several long heart to heart talks with her mum.
An insider told US magazine Star: “After several weeks of personal soul searching and talks and discussions with her mum Jamie Lynn reluctantly agreed that giving up the baby is the right thing to do.
“Lynne says Jamie doesn’t understand the life long consequences of having a baby.
“She still wants her daughter to be able to be a teenager, go to parties, hang out with friends and have a career.
“So she’ll take the front seat of caring for the baby and take the pressure off her daughter.”
Since her shocking pregnancy hit headlines around the world, Jamie Lynn has been under pressure.
Even the paternity of her baby has been questioned – her family insist her boyfriend 18 year-old Casey Aldridge is the father but other insiders close to the Spears claim the dad is a much older executive on her TV show.
One insider told Star: “Jamie Lynn has been working on her show Zoey 101 since she was 13.
“In Hollywood, little girls grow up fast and she’s no exception. With everything that has gone on in her family, she needed someone to look up to.
“But the man she found seems to have completely taken advantage of her.”
Other reports in the US claim that boyfriend Casey has asked for a DNA test to prove that he is the father.
Since the news broke Jamie Lynn has left Los Angeles and headed back to Kentwood where she has been attending high school equivalency and parenting classes.
She has been staying at the family’s $3 million estate but once the baby is born she is planning to return to LA.
But despite the news she is pregnant at 16, residents in the tiny town, whose population is just 2,200, are supporting the teen.
Kentwood local Pam Wright said: “How many 16 year-old girls get pregnant every week?
“It doesn’t mean that she’s a bad person. I don’t think this will end her career, life will go on.”
And that is exactly the same attitude mum Lynne is taking with her daughter.
The insider added: “She wants Jamie Lynn to continue her show business career after the baby is born and Jamie Lynn also realizes she wants to enjoy her teenage years without the responsibilities of caring for a baby.
“Lynne is convinced that having a baby on her hip will not help Jamie Lynn’s future in the business and she’s expecting her daughter to pick up where she left off as soon as the baby is born.”
According to the source, Jamie Lynn’s managers also agree and have advised Lynne that the best thing to do is have Jamie photographed with the baby as soon as it is born, sell the pictures and then take over raising her own grandchild.
The source told Star: “Lynne is completely on board with the plan.
“She always wanted Britney to raise her babies in Louisiana. She couldn’t have that but now she’s going to raise Jamie Lynn’s baby at her home in Kentwood.
“Jamie Lynn will be back at work and trying to remind people of her talent and not that she is an unwed teenage mother.
But a rep for Jamie Lynn denies that the pregnant teen is giving total control to her mother.
duhh.. casey and jamie are back 2gether durtdur 2 the last person 2 comment theve been back 2gether 4 a wihle now duhhh…. LISTEN TP THE NEWS…

geez people leave the poor gurl alone, like come on, how would u feel if u got prego, and had a career that u really loved, u wouldn’t wanna give it up, i know i wouldn’t jamie propbley is pretty upset that she can’t do it herself, but she only 16, and her mom is nice enought to take hey baby, becuz i know most moms wouldn’t
i know it’s jamies fault for doing this to herslef and she should be raizing this child on her own, but being fumos, and having a career, and only being 16 it’s really hard to, and being 16 and pergo, she wont me able to do all the stuff she wanted to do in life
i just say people should just but out, and leave the poor gurl alone,
Comment by Tracy — 15 May
i think that jamie lynn spears will make a better mother than her stupid sister ‘britney spears’ because jamie lynn spears has a better career than britney and also because britney spears just left her babies in the house by them self and just party all night that is fust wrong not also that but britney spears is a bitch.
Comment by nicole — 27 Jan
wait a minute.. so they are going to tell the kid that Jamie Lynn is its sister and that Lynn is its mother?… thats twisted..
Comment by MINIX — 30 Jan
Unbelieveable!! This idiot woman is not making her daughter take resposibility for her actions!! What a message that is sending to all the younger girls growing up and watching Jamie Lynn and wanting to be like her. This “brainchild” idea that her mom has, shows how backwards her priorites are and how she wants to keep the money rolling in, since Britney won’t have anything to do with her. This is kind of sad, Lynn Spears taught neither one of her daughters to be self respecting decent women.

Well i think that jamie lynn spaers shuld have the baby but not give it out yet,

Comment by lollabye — 27 Jan
who is the father of jamie Lynn Spears child. I cannot beleive tht she is only sw2xet 16 wif a baby. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by Rebecca Agliolo — 24 Jan
There are hundreds of girls her age who have sex irresponsibly and have abortions every day and she should be commended for not going that route.
The baby will be better off being taken care of by the grandma. Jamie Lynn is still a kid herself.
Comment by Serg — 24 Jan
I dont think it is the right thing that Jamie lynn is going to give up her baby. I think the dad should take care of it. If Jamie Lynn whated to have a baby she needs to take care of it not anybody else. Jamie Lynn u r a pretty girl. I dont know why u would give up your baby. Jamie Lynn i hope u make a good choise.
Comment by Trisha — 27 Jan
She was originally thinking of giving the child to a family for adoption; however, Casey was against it, too much money at stake. Without his blessing, no adoption can take place.
Comment by joe — 24 Jan
Yeah, that’s right Lynne, you take over so that your daughter can have friends and party like a normal teenager????? and her career should come first??? She’s 16!!!! career. HA!God forbid she takes responsibilty for any of her actions. It seems like a lot of cover ups going on in this family. God knows Lynne that you did such a great job raising these two girls (obvious sarcasm), let’s see how bad you can fuck this kid up!
Comment by Kerri — 29 Jan
Are you kidding me? It’s not like this is just something that “happened” to Jamie. SHE MADE IT HAPPEN. She’s the one who decided to have unprotected sex (hello, has NOBODY ever heard of condoms in this godforsaken world?) at the age of SIXTEEN. She made that choice. I believe that Jamie has the responsibility as a human being to raise her own child. Other teenagers might have been kicked out of the house because of this, and yet just because she’s on DISNEY CHANNEL she’s supposed to live a “normal” life? It’s her problem, she shouldn’t be exempt from the rule. I vote that Jamie takes care of her own kid instead of GOING TO PARTIES, where she’ll probably get knocked up in the first place, while her mom raises the new Spears baby to break records in child sluttiness. Maybe I’d have a little bit of respect for Jamie if she did.
Comment by Illy — 29 Jan
im not going against anyone but its her life.. soo let her do whatever she wants. if its a mistake, its her mistake, nobody cares about what you say people.
though i must sayy, giving her child to her mother? that pure bullshit. spears are such badd influence to women, one fucked up spears ( britney ) times two.
Comment by anonymous101 — 28 Jan
i think that even if she’s having a baby, she won’t make mistakes like her sluty sis britney. hopefully she won’t be bitchy enough to take drugs, make sex tape and other nasty ass things like her dumb ass sister Britney. she’ll make a better mom than Britney. (aka.. SLUT!!)
Comment by megan — 27 Jan
Yes…because Lynn has such a FINE JOB raising her own two girls…
Comment by Just Me — 24 Jan
ohhhhhhhhh that’s sad and happy
we respect the decision of jamie lynn and her family
Comment by me — 23 Jan
MOM LYNN NEEDS TO GET HER PRIORITIES STRAIGHT. LET HER BABY GIRL RAISE HER OWN BABY LET HER LEARN FROM HER MISTAKES. I TELL U WHAT MOM TALKS THESE GIRLS INTO EVERYTHING AND BECAUSE SHE LETS THEM KNOW WHATS WHAT. LYNN GET THE HELL OVER THIS MISTAKE THAT JAMIE MADE AND LET HER LEARN FROM IT. GIVE HER THE BENIFIT OF THE DOUBT SHE MAY SUPRISE U . SHE MAY TURN OUT BETTER THAN BRITTANY. INSTEAD OF TAKING AWAY THERE PROBLEMS LET THEM LEARN FROM THERE MISTAKES. HELL MAYBE BRITTANY IS ACTING OUT FOR ATTENTION IF THE PAPPERAZZI WOULD JUST LET IT GO AND MAYBE SHE WILL CHANGE HER WAYS AND THAT IS A BIG MAYBE
Comment by cj — 25 Jan
Wow that’s super-she can just brush aside the little inconvenience in her life until IF(?) and when she feels like playing mommy, and in the mean time, her mother’s priority is to kick cash cow #2 into high gear now that her sister’s washed up?!?! REAL nice family, there.
Comment by Todd — 24 Jan
Nice moral values expressed by commenters. Listen, if the girl can’t take care of the baby then it’s in the best interest of that child that someone else do so. A child is not a responsibility to be sucked up and dealt with. Your first concern should be for the child, not what you think is proper.
Comment by the bawdy one — 24 Jan
She’s giving up her baby, so she can get on with her career!? This is the typical mentality of todays women. Her new career should be that of a mommy! No wonder this world is so F’d up! Career first, babies last. I’m sure she means well, but she’s a selfish, foolish, little bitch! Kudos mom, for raising another statistic!
Comment by Mynde — 24 Jan
Wow……..like the mother did SUCH a good job with Britney and Jamie Lynn, now they’re going to let her permanently screw up another child???? I think child welfare ought to be called; Lynn should be around NO children. She’s the reason her daughters are such a mess. How sad. And how sad that JL is such a shallow person (raised by her lovely mother, again) as to give up her child so she can party. She’s turning out just like Britney. But of course Lynn wants the money to keep coming in. Britney has cut her off now, I’m sure, but JL can still put money in mother’s coffers. They really are white trash, all three of them.
Comment by msmerlin — 24 Jan
What career is there for her to pick up? While Nick will show the already filmed episodes, they cancelled her contract. Her whole career has been with Nick (and related events, i.e. Kids Choice, Teen Beat, etc.), and none of these groups want her anymore. She has nothing else to fall back on, she has never done a movie (except her sister’s), never appeared on any TV show, except Nick, has no records to sell. If she returns to L.A., who will hire a former child star without only one thing in her bag.
Comment by joe — 24 Jan
gooooood, jamie.
give your mom another kid to screw up.
look how bad she messed up britney and now you’re giving her another kid to mess up.
thats retarded.
Comment by Val — 27 Jan
WAT DA HELL!!!
I LOOKED UP TO HER ON DA SHOW ZOEY101 NOW I THINK SHE A FUCKIN FOOL.SHE JUST GONNA TURN OUT LIKE HER CRACK-HEADED SISTER BRITTNEY.I HOPE SHE GETS KICKED OFF NICKELODEON ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by HAZEL — 28 Jan
MY GOOD GOD IN HEAVEN, BUT THOSE SPEARS PEOPLE ARE ABJECT MORONS! THAT SIXTEEN YEAR OLD SLUT SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN ABORTION BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE. POOR BABY WILL BE BROUGHT UP BY AN UNFIT GRANDMOTHER AND A MOTHER WHO IS NO MORE THAN A CHILD HERSELF! (ALBEIT ONE WHO SPREAD HER LEGS AT SUCH AN EARLY AGE!!) PITY!
Comment by KAT — 24 Jan
i am 20 years old i became pregnant at 18. i have raised my son ON MY OWN since he was born! she is 16! it goes to show how she and her sister were raised her mom is all about the money!! look at her wacked daughter brittany and her mothering skills!! who would WANT her to raise her child and how irresponsible is jamie lynn!! that is HER child not her mothers! she needs to get she priority’s in line!! what is this showing all the young women who look up to her…have sex…get pregnant…and just leave it up to YOUR parents to be responsible for YOUR actions!! That is who i want my children to look up to NOT!!! this is absolutly sickening!!!
Comment by ANGRY MOTHER — 25 Jan
Wonderful, now Lynne can ruin her grandchild like she ruined her daughters. That poor child will be pimped out to the cameras before it can even walk.

My heart breaks thinking of another infant in the “care” of that horrific woman.
Can’t wait to see how much Grandma gets for the child’s first photos. Highest bidder, anyone?

Comment by dean — 23 Jan
I think people might have actualy been able to muster some respect and support for JL had she said A. forget my “career”, I am now a young mother who needs to finish her education and take care of my child, or B. I will be giving my child up for adoption to a loving family who will be able to love and support my child as I cannot

Comment by jordan pierce — 25 Jan
Oh i agree with the comment 2 above… the baby will be better off with someone else taking care of it…And yes she is still a kid…BUT hello every heard of consequences?
Comment by Jeanna — 24 Jan
I understand Jamie Lynn Because im a teen mom, but I still dont agree with what shes doing…not long ago she said she wanted to be the best mother she could be,now that shes alone.. shes a total loser she has the courage to have sex but she cant take the concequences!!! creepy family!
Comment by Claudia — 24 Jan
What! Are you for real, if jamie responable enough to have sex then she can raise that baby. That is not right!!!! She needs to GROW UP!her and her sister!..
Comment by kj — 24 Jan
yeah i respect her decision because everty one deserves a second chance even if you are stupid and do what she did. well i think jamie lynn should get to start her career again?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Comment by alexis — 24 Jan
What! Are you for real, if jamie is responable enough to have sex then she can raise that baby. That is not right!!!! She needs to GROW UP!her and her sister!..
Comment by kj — 24 Jan
Are you kidding me? She made the decision to have sex, so she made the decision to have a baby. Why make it easy for her to “continue ” being a teenager. Stupidity.
Comment by Jennifer — 24 Jan
Look at how many teenagers have mistakes and get pregnant then Jamie Lynn makes one of those accidents and unfortunanly now the whole world knows! And at least shes brave enough to keep on carrying the baby! What would you do if you mest up and got pregnant and the whole world knew and now you were the “misfit”?
Comment by Nikki — 24 Jan
Ok so SHE made the decision to have sex, but then gets the easy way out as most people in her status do and now she can just go on like nothing happened!!
Thats not teaching her anything but”Hey i have money and i can just get others to take my responsibility’s” Good going MOM
Comment by Jeanna — 24 Jan
JAMIE LYNN IS STUPID AND SHOULD OF KEPT HER LEGS CLOSE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
Comment by Carolina — 31 Jan
Jamie Lynn Spears is a dumbass. I loath her decision. She’s tha one who opened her legs, she’s the one who decided to go threw tha pregnancy and now she’s going to abandon her daughter, so she can party WTF. Give me a break, and now she wants her mommy to raise the baby. Lynn has done such a shitty job raising her daughters. Looks like w’ere going to have another Britney/JamieLynn screw up in the next 12 years.
Comment by Butterflyxoxoxo's — 04 Feb
… and the bordel will continue to grow… contratulations!!!!
Comment by bubububu — 31 Jan
ok think of this if Lynne Spears has already raised 2 screwed up daughters should she really be a parent to another one? It’s blatently stupid for her to raise Jamie’s baby, it’ll be just as screwed up as brittany and Jamie.
Comment by Jess — 03 Feb
I think she is very silly! thats what me and all my freinds say in science!We all said we won’t wacth Zoey 101 ever again my mum says to me you should only have sex if you are married to a man that loves you so much and wait till you are old enough like 27 not sixteen! I always thought JamieLynn spears was a sensibl young meture lady and was smart now I see is a teenager hwo now is going to lose money on her “Zoey 101″ program. I think her boyfreind does not love her enough I thnk he persaded to have sex because if he is saying I wan’t a DNA to see if I’am the farther he knows that he had sex with her if he didn’t wan’t a chil he should of worn a condom or not have sex with her at all.JamieLynn spears has encoruged 1′000 of teenagers to have a baby. I’am realy sad that my favarate star has turned me down.
Comment by Jess101 — 04 Feb
I dont think that it is right that you are giving up your baby.But its what you want!
Comment by Jennifor — 05 Feb
First of all, it was very painful reading all of your comments. Every single one had at least one spelling mistake or something wrong with it…Leave the Spears alone. I’m sure you all have skeletons in your closet. We just don’t know about it since YOU’RE NOT FAMOUS…You’re just jealous!!!
Comment by mommytoo — 09 Feb
You know what?!
Jamie deserves a second chance..she is a loving girl and she decided to obviously want a baby or she wouldnt be pregnant!
she wants the baby or she would have made her boyfriend use pertection!
everyone needs to give her a second chance!
i mean think about it would you really give up your first child?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
so lay off and get a life..
instead of worrying about jamie worry about yourself on the enternet!!
i say that with re and please stop starting rumors..
her and casey are still together and there is nothing you can do to break that up!!
brittney spears is not crazy!-
her x-husband just made her so do that so that he could dump her and get more money so that he can make a record that no one going to buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh and all these other ladies in hollywood are pregnant ..
whats so diffrent with jamie..
yeah shes 16..
she made a mistake??????????????????
but there is nothing you can do so quit this!
Comment by cici — 17 Feb
wow. this is so retarded. just because she’s a celeb everyone is making a big deal out of her pregnancy. 16 year olds have babies every day in the real world. hell.. people younger than that do. no one has a problem with it then, but no since she’s a celeb you all have to bitch about it. leave her alone. no one should know about that anyways. people always following her around, taking her picture.. harassing her. i’m surprised she hasn’t shot every one of you pigs. leave the young girl alone. she made a mistake big deal. were all human.
Comment by bitch — 25 Feb
jamie is a good kid but dont put your mother in this situation because she has already been a mother adn does not to have to raise another screw up. jamie its your turn to be a mother. look at your sister do you wanna be just like her getting her kidds tooken away.i dont think you do so just grow up be responsible. i know your scared but you cant keep on leaving thing up to your mother to do fr you. she cant be the one who is going to be raise ing you kid. what if you have the same mistake again are you going back to your mother and say can raise this one for me too now. and when your 30 years old are you going to depend on your mother to keep on raising your kid. noo because its no your mother job. and oh yeah your mother raise you and sister and look what hapened to you adn her, you guys have been screw ups for a a long time so dont let that happen to you. britney lost her 2 kids so is that what you want to happen to you. like maybe casey will think that your mother is not right oto raising the child adn he will fight for custody and guess what he will win because they look at how your mother raised your sister adn look what happened yo her she lost her kids so maybe you need to get with realiltly and relise what your mother has done to you 2. so yeah
Comment by suzanne vanbeekveld — 24 Feb
i think maybe she shold be helping her mother raise the baby because its not her mothers responsiblitie to be taking care of her baby. i think her mother should have said to her i will help you take care of the baby but i’m not going to raise it for you. your the one who made the mistake by getting pregnant so you should have tak eresponsiblity for your own actions. the fsther of baby should be helping jamie take care of the babty to because he is the one who got her pregnant so maybe casey adn jamie need the think things over before they put the responsiblity on her mother to raise a baby that is not hers. she may be grandma but shes not the mother. thats all i have to say.
Comment by suzanne vanbeekveld — 24 Feb
omg u all need to go to walmart and buy some lives! Yes shes pregnant,WHO CARES!!!!! It waz her choice to have sex, so that means she considered the possible out comes!

Comment by clifford — 30 Apr
why do some of you have to be soo cruel about jamie lynn
do u guys ever think shes noticed that she made mistakes like everyone else
carrying a baby at her age is alot of pressure and the way some of you people with those awful comments is mean
shes pregnant at 16, ive seen many people younger have kids that made plenty of mistakes!!
i dont know how some of you people can be so cruel
to tell you, shes a teenager like everyone else
so you dont need to be complaining!!! >:(
Comment by Katie Lynn — 22 Mar
plus giving up the baby to her mom is her choice because she wants to live her life as a teenage like going to parties, hanging out with friends and other things!!
but it also means shes not going to abandon her baby
shes gonna be there whenever she can, and give it the love n attention it needs
she loves acting and its her Zoey101 career that shes been working with for 3 years, she doesnt want to give that up because shes having a baby…

Comment by Ashley — 08 May
That’s the point. Girls do it ALL THE TIME! It’s sad. They do it all the time and just give up with their lives. The made the choice so they should deal with that choice they made. She made that choice and now she thinks she’s not going to deal with it, well she is one way or another. God is going to handle her.
Comment by Brianna — 05 May
Jamie Lynn isn’t going to raise her own child? Personally I think that is selfish to just forget about your mistake, and make your own mother raise your baby, and then go back to hollywood to continue being famous and not focus on your child!

I Think jamie should take care of her kid its her promblem she got knocked up. if i had a kid i would take care of my own child shes a teen she should have no kid im 16 an happy with no child but if i had one id take care of it an not leave it with my mother thats just sad i dont care if her mother said she take care of it jamie should of said look screw my career i did this i should take it in my own hands. her career should b over. hopefully it iz she a bad role modal
Comment by nicky1272447792 — 28 Feb
if jamie lynn can sit there and spread her legs to the whole entire world, then she should have to take care of her child, you can tell that her and britney are sisters, because they dont know how to be responsible for there action. and instead of going out and partying and acting stupid and retarded, the should be worried about their children
