JAMIE Lynn Spears wasn’t trying to “glamorize teen pregnancy” when she fell pregnant aged 16.
The 20-year-old actress — whose sister is Britney Spears — has hit out at her critics four years after having her daughter, Maddie, with then-boyfriend Casey Aldridge, and she has apologised for “letting down” young girls who idolised her at the time.
She told Glamour magazine: “I was on a Nickelodeon show, and it felt especially embarrassing to ask someone to put me on birth control.
“I did feel responsible for the young girls and the mothers who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn’t trying to glamorize teen pregnancy.”
But the blonde beauty has found it useful to lean on her 30-year-old sister — who has sons Sean Preston, six, and five-year-old Jayden James from her marriage to second husband Kevin Federline — for support while bringing up Maddie.
“[Our bond as mothers], it’s such a big thing, you know?” she added.
“Especially ’cause there’s an age gap there — she’s 10 years older. I think if I were just a normal 20-year-old, I wouldn’t be able to relate as much to her.”
