Jamie Lynn Spears disappeared to Louisiana when she found out she was pregnant at 16 in December 2007. Years later, at age 22, the Zoey 101 star opened up about her pregnancy and raising her daughter Maddie with ex-boyfriend Casey Aldridge.
About first discovering that she was pregnant, Britney Spears' little sister revealed to E! News, "I was riding around in my mom's little convertible and I had not been feeling well. I thought it was just stress with work and all kinds of different things. My friend was like, 'Why don't you just take a test?' I was like, 'Okay, I will.' We were filling up with gas, so I went in the gas station and took the test and it was positive. So that is the glamorous way that I found out I was going to have my little nugget," she said.
According to Yahoo omg!, Spears was caught off guard by the pregnancy – she had been planning on advancing her career before she had her daughter. “I thought my next step was going to be doing the next thing in my career,” she said. “This made no sense and I didn't understand it. And I was young. ... I decided I have to go home. I have to put up a big fence around me. I have to raise my child.”
Now, Maddie is in kindergarten and Spears is ready to pursue her career again. She's currently working on a duet with Britney called “Chillin' With You,” which will be featured on Britney's eighth studio album, Britney Jean.
Other than the new track with her sister, Spears is moving on with her life in other ways as well. She moved to Nashville, accepted a marriage proposal from Jamie Watson and is ready to start her own musical ambitions, even though she's nervous about getting back out there.
"It's seeing it all here and it's real. It's like, 'Oh my goodness, I'm really gonna do this.' It's like my second baby," she said of her musical plans.
