Jamie Lynn Spears' Parents Heart Casey Aldridge
Daddy-to-be Casey Aldridge has been close to the Spears family for some time, as both a hometown boy dating the youngest Spears daughter, and acting as a buffer between the teenage actress and the pressures of Hollywood.
"He took amazing care of Jamie Lynn," a source close to the Spears family tells People. "Anything ever went wrong, he always comforted her. He took care of her."
Jamie Lynn Spears and her mother, Lynne Spears, say that Casey Aldridge is the father of the baby the 16-year-old announced she is pregnant with.
Casey Aldridge is believed to be either 18 or 19 and has stayed out of the Hollywood spotlight, only occasionally accompanying Jamie Lynn to events.
He grew up in Liberty, Miss., about 30 miles from the Spears family home base in Kentwood, La., and played high school baseball and football (Aldridge is listed in a sports directory as a lean six-foot-one, and 165 pounds).
Recently, he has been living in Southern California and was a fixture at the condo where Jamie Lynn was staying while filming her Nickelodeon series Zoey 101.
Jamie Lynn Spears' parents love Casey Aldridge, even though he got her pregnant.
In California, Casey Aldridge drove her to the set every day and stayed while she worked, impressing both Lynne Spears and Jamie Lynn's father, Jaime Spears.
"Jaime always talks about how he really likes Casey because he's a great guy," the Spears family source says. "Lynne really likes him, too. He's a good kid, cares a lot about Jamie Lynn. They both adore Casey."
The pregnancy, a source close to Casey Aldridge says, was a surprise.
"I'm sure it was a shock to him," the source says. "He has all sorts of plans for his future. He wants to start his own business, maybe get a degree and make something of himself."
Casey Aldridge will also take responsibility for his actions.
"He's a stand-up guy, and he will take care of the baby," the source says. "He is not the type to let her deal with it on her own. He will be there in any way he can for Jamie Lynn... I know a baby wasn't in his plans for right now, but he'll do what he has to do, and he'll be a good father. He really will."

yup i mean look at her sis what a role model.....NOT
December 19th, 2007 7:08 PM
I think she should be kickt off nick tv cause she is not a role modle to teens if any thing she is sending the wrong message to kids.I mean teens figure if a top teen nick star can do it why not me and another thing i would like to know is were was her mom guess she dont keep track of her kids no better than that she don't need to be writeing no book.
December 19th, 2007 7:16 PM
wow, I'm surprised too. Jamie Lynn didn't seem like the type of person who wouldn't use protection. I think she's turning into her sister, which makes me sad because I always thought she'd be the responsible one.

what a whore

Being a mother to a girl who watches Zoey 101 I was so shocked and upset. She is a role model and I think that Nick needs to cancel the show. No real role model would get pregnant at 16. At the rate she is going she will be just like her sister which is sad since I thought she was the one with the good head on her shoulders. The mother should have stepped in on this one way before it got this far, I mean they were living together! She should have made sure she was on birth control. I blame the parents as much as I do Jamie Lynn. Its so sad and shocking to hear this news.

why is she living with this man? shows how stupid th emother is. why does she have a boyfriend at 16 and a long time boy friend. how long have they been dating? How stupid is the mother.

i think you all need to stfu. You know dam well that more than half of the world loses their virginity before marragie and before the age of 18.
December 19th, 2007 8:24 PM
that doesn't make it right though...
December 19th, 2007 8:26 PM
ha! i wonder how she's gonna hide it on the show!! i can see some good episodes ahead lol.
December 19th, 2007 8:30 PM
wow...I really thougt that she was going to be the one to step up for the family, but she went and did something completly irresponsable.
And the mother, britney was older when she got whorse but letting jamie lynn do something like that. I'm completly stuned.
December 19th, 2007 8:44 PM
what a slutttttttt...... I wish mrs. spears read this. you actually call yourself a mother? I hope they cancel your show and you becaome one of those i wonder what happen to her actress. your disguisting your just like your sister i hope you dont loss custody of the child. Congratulations jamie lynn you officially destroyed your career all u had to do is use a condom moron. if he sd he loved u he should have wraped it i dont care how good it feels. mrs. spears i advice you to can that book idea

Well, I don't agree that a 16 old girl is able to do stuff MAMAS do. She is JUST A GIRL. I dont understand how they start to have sex without knowing the consecuenses.
They dont think first and then act. they just let emotions act.
But that already happen, they just have to deal with it!,,
Hope she's lucky and her BF takes all resposability.
even though, i dont agree.

first Vanessa Anne Hudgens, now Jamie Lynn. it seems common for teens of children shows to do stuff like that. I mean, sure, they are teenagers and they are free to do whatever, but when you are responsable to be a role model for six and seven year old girls, why the heck would you ruin it and do something irresponsable? it ruins both the children and the celebrities
December 19th, 2007 11:21 PM

lol wow wat a shocker!!! Well i just hope the baby ain't gonna b ugly !

First: She has a steady boyfriend, she is not sleeping around, this would disqualify the slut comment.
Second: Lots of teenagers have sex, it is a fact, Nickalodian would do best to use this as an educational opportunity on safety, rather than shun her. If it is treated as taboo, teens are not going to ask for advice on the topic, and guess what that leads to uneducated teens having sex and having babies.
Third: She used poor judgement, but so did he, so have I, and so has everyone else. I would like to meet the person who has not had poor judgement. This does not mean she is going to turn into her sister, this does not make her a horrible person.
Fourth and Final: Mistake is a very loaded word. The pregnancy was not planned, but would you like someone calling your future child a mistake? Fifteen years from now what is said about this will be available for this child to read, do you really want to mess up this child before it is even born?

EVERYONE needs to LEAVE then ALONE many 16 year old girls are getting pregnant everyday and no one does anything about it now that a star is pregnant everyone is calling her names and i believe if people think it's so bad instead of getting all into Jamie Lynn's business parents need to talk to their children because children are having sex younger and younger every year. it's not Jamie Lynn's fault that young girls everywhere are becoming pregnant it was happening long before she told everyone and it will keep happening long after she has her baby. I believe that its great that her boyfriend is standing by her through all this because so many boys run the other way when they're girlfriends become pregnant....I WISH BOTH JAMIE LYNN AND CASEY ALL THE BEST OF LUCK AND CONGRATS!!

While I was just as shocked as everyone else, and a little disappointed, some of these comments are so harsh!! over 50% of teenagers lose their virginity before leaving high school. And for her to be in a long term relationship... is it really that far of a leap to think that MAYBE they could've been having sex? It's not like she's been published sleeping around or anything so it's a little inaccurate to be calling her a slut.
And how did this board get into her room to know whether or not they were dumb enough to not use a condom? Birth control is not 100% effective. Maybe they did use protection. Maybe it broke. Maybe she was on the pill. But we weren't there to know for sure and I don't think anyone here knows if she has any prescriptions or not. So I think it's a little harsh to be calling her an idiot without knowing all the facts.
Will this damage her career? Most likely. Was this their plans? Not likely. Is it a good example to be setting? Not at all. But it happened and and at least she's owning up to her "mistakes" and acting more responsible than some *ahem* sisters out there. Now I wonder how much trouble their older brother has gotten into and if Lynne Spears can learn how to help those girls.

its her life let her do what she wants with it. people are going on like its the end of the world i personally think its her choice so people should stop slating her.. lov ya Jamie xxx
December 20th, 2007 7:36 AM
stop being so mean to her. tons of 16 year old get pregnant. just cuz shes brottanys sis means nothing...i doubt she will be like her sis. i mean brits pretty messed up right now. jamie lynn made a mistake like any normal person..let her deal with it without all the shit people are gonna give just because shes brits sister. so leave her alone. geez you rude people...
December 20th, 2007 8:04 AM
together,both will make the worst parents ever.
December 20th, 2007 8:05 AM
First....at least she owned up to the fact that she is pregnant and didn't go and get an abortion as so many teens do these days.
Second...I honestly do not think this will totally ruin her career...with Nickelodeon ..maybe but not everywhere else
Third...I know that it is hard to deal with ridicule and that those posting saying that she a slut or whore needs to reevaluate what they say because those who generally cast the first stones are generally guilty of the same error in judgement.
Fourth.. Congrats on the baby Jamie please take care of it and be a good mother
December 20th, 2007 8:28 AM
no, jaime is not a slut or a whore, shes not having permiscuous sex with different partners, but yes, she acted inresponsibly and now as she definitley knows, she is going to have to come out and face all the consequences that come with her actions. Mostly, i blame her horrible role model, and older sister britney. Britney has most likley influenced her greatly, and therefore shes following in her footsteps ...but still that is not an excuse to not use protection.
December 20th, 2007 9:15 AM
Jamie Lynn is turning out just like her sister a lil SLUT . wtf i thought she was gunna be the smart one in the family so much for that idea. what a lil skank. haha wow Jamie if u read this ur a real bad role model and i hope they kick u off tv cause u are a whore! get a life grow up & dont turn out like ur skanky sister.fucking whore
