In Touch is claiming that Jamie Lynn Spears has broken off her engagement. They’re not always the most accurate source, but this is one story that I’m really crossing my fingers on. They claim that Jamie Lynn realized she isn’t ready to get married. She hasn’t broken up with Casey Aldridge, but she has given back the engagement ring he gave her on her 17th birthday.

Britney Spears’ younger sister Jamie Lynn has called off her engagement to boyfriend Casey Aldridge after deciding she is too young to marry.

The 18-year-old actress accepted Aldridge’s proposal early last year when she was pregnant with their daughter, Maddie Briann.

However, according to In Touch Weekly magazine, the Zoey 101 star has changed her mind about marrying her teenage sweetheart and is happy just being boyfriend and girlfriend. The younger Spears has even returned her diamond engagement ring to Aldridge.

A close pal tells the publication, “Casey proposed when Jamie turned 17. He gave her a gold band with numerous diamonds and one larger stone, but now she has given it back to him.”

“Jamie wasn’t ready to get married. It’s been more than enough for her to adjust to new motherhood for now.”

Obviously one response to Jamie Lynn not being ready to get married was that she probably wasn’t ready to have a baby either. But she handled that situation gracefully and has been living a very private life for the last year. By about 75% of the reports, Casey Aldridge was no prize. I can’t imagine how any marriage at Jamie Lynn’s age could last in the long run. I know sometimes they do, but I wouldn’t be betting on this one in particular.

Jamie Lynn and Casey are definitely still together though. TMZ has photographs of them taking Maddie out for pizza yesterday – with Casey smoking a cigarette right next to the baby. Hopefully a breakup announcement will be coming in 3…2…1…

Casey Aldridge, boyfriend of former “Zoey 101″ star Jamie Lynn Spears, is in stable condition after a serious car accident over the weekend. Aldridge, the 19-year-old father of Jamie Lynn’s baby daughter Maddie, was driving home at 1:30 a.m. when he wrecked his truck, cracking his skull in the process. He was also charged with the misdemeanor of careless operation of a vehicle.

We’ve learned Casey Aldridge was charged with careless operation of a motor vehicle (a misdemeanor) after this morning’s crash — and no other car was involved.

Cops tell TMZ Casey was driving on the LA 606, which is in the Tensas Parish in Louisiana, when he lost control of his F-250 at around 1:30 AM. Law enforcement sources say Casey was initially taken to the Riverland Medical Facility in Ferriday, LA — which is right across the border from Mississippi.

19-year-old Casey is currently at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, MS.

UPDATE: Cops tell us there were three other passengers in the truck with Casey — but Casey’s injuries were the most serious.

People is reporting that Jamie Lynn is at the hospital with Casey, but the hospital is not giving any more information on his injuries.

Casey Aldridge, the father of Jamie Lynn Spears’s 10-month-old daughter Maddie, was injured in a car accident early Sunday morning. Police have charged him with careless operation of a vehicle, which is a misdemeanor.

Spears, 18, and Aldridge’s sister are at Casey’s side where he is hospitalized at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, according to sources. Staff at the hospital would not confirm Aldridge is undergoing treatment there.

A family source tells PEOPLE Aldridge has “a cracked skull” and has been ” in and out” of consciousness. However, the source says: “It’s not as serious as we thought at first.”

Aldridge, 19, was driving a 2008 Ford F-250 pickup when the wreck occurred at 1:30 a.m. Sunday near Lake Bruin in Tensas Parish, La., Master Trooper Billy Ziegler of Louisiana State Police tells PEOPLE. The accident happened in a stretch of road described as an entry and exit for Lake Bruin, a recreational lake that is a popular spot to fish.

After the accident, Aldridge was taken by ambulance to Riverland Medical Center in Vidalia, La., police say. There is no indication that he was tested for drug or alcohol usage.

A source tells PEOPLE that Aldridge was attending a bachelor party for his cousin, when he and some friends decided to go crabbing. He was driving his truck with several passengers when it went off the shoulder of the road and flipped over, adds the source.

As for Spears, another source tells PEOPLE: “This must be just horrible for Jamie Lynn. I know she loves him.”

A speedy recovery to Casey – but it sounds like even if his injuries aren’t as serious as first thought, his troubles are not quite over. It does sound like there was no alcohol involved at first report – he was charged with careless operation and not DUI. Thank goodness no one was critically injured.

Jamie Lynn Spears and her babydaddy/fiance Casey Aldridge are still together, despite reports to the contrary, and traveling with Britney’s Circus tour. OK! reports that they are the picture of loving devoted parents – but don’t expect them to get married anytime soon. Jamie Lynn has canceled the wedding, as she feels ‘no need for a ring and a piece of paper’.

While Casey tenderly held their 9-month-old daughter, Maddie Briann, Jamie Lynn loaded her diaper bags, toys and pink stroller into the minivan. Then the family took off on the four-hour drive back to their Mississippi home.

The young unmarried couple looked as connected as could be on their trip to cheer on Britney at her first show. But now Jamie Lynn – who was 16 when she shocked the world by telling OK! in December 2007 that she was expecting a child with her 18-year-old boyfriend – has decided not to walk down the aisle with him.

“The wedding’s off,” a source reveals to OK!. “They are still in love, living together and very happy, but they have no plans to get married. Jamie Lynn has everything she wants and feels no need for a ring and piece of paper.”

Adds another insider, “She and Casey have weathered a lot in their young relationship already and don’t need the pressure of making wedding plans.”

OK! Magazine

It was reported in January by In Touch that Jamie Lynn was rushing forward with her nuptials, picking out a dress, invitations and cake (although not a date). Maybe motherhood has shown Jamie Lynn that she and Casey are bonded together for life and don’t need to make it official.

Jamie Lynn is supposedly planning a country music album, and while she doesn’t have an album deal yet, perhaps she’s using her wedding as a business decision, planning on getting married close to when she releases her album. Or maybe she and Casey just aren’t getting along and she realizes it wouldn’t be a good idea to get married at this point.

According to In Touch, Jamie Lynn Spears is going to marry her fiance, Casey Aldridge, and has picked out her gown and cake and even ordered the invitations. Earlier reports had Jamie Lynn kicking Casey out of their shared home and calling off the wedding after cheating allegations surfaced in the tabloids, which they denied. There were enough women who came forward to make it seem like Casey was fooling around, although the accusers could have been motivated by cash. It’s also hard to judge if this story about an imminent wedding is true as we often hear these type of wedding reports about celebrities and they turn out to be fabricated or premature:

She has chosen a gown from Monique Lhuillier, ordered invitations and chosen a three-tiered chocolate cake – all Jamie Lynn Spears still needs to do is pick a date for her wedding to diance Casey Aldridge. The 17 year-old has no intentions of calling off her nuptials, despite the fact that Kelli Dawson, 28, claims Casey, 19, cheated on Jamie Lynn while she was pregnant with daughter Maddie, 7 months. “She wants to keep her family together, says a pal.

[From In Touch, print edition, January 19, 2008]

It sounds kind of foolish to want to get married at 17 to keep a family together as a baby will bind Casey and Jamie Lynn for the rest of their lives whether they take that extra step or not. Getting married involves a lot of shared responsibilities and is a lifelong commitment that it doesn’t seem like they’re prepared for at such a young age. We’ll have to see if Jamie Lynn and Casey do make it official. If it happens for them, we’ll probably see the photos in OK! along with a syrupy sweet story about how wonderful and special their big day was.

The National Enquirer is running a follow-up story about 17 year-old Jamie Lynn Spears’ alleged second pregnancy. Despite denials straight from Spears and her camp, The Enquirer is standing firm with the story they broke last week that she fell pregnant with her second child less than three months after having her first.

According to sources quoted in the Enquirer, Jamie Lynn’s 19 year-old maybe ex-fiance told her he didn’t want the baby and was upset that she got pregnant. It also incensed the young dad that he had to read about it at the grocery store first as she had yet to tell him. And how is this for ironic justice – Lynne Spears, Jamie’s mom, found out that her daughter was pregnant yet again when she was out hawking her tell-all book:

“After he read about Jamie Lynn’s pregnancy in The Enquirer, Casey told her, ‘You can’t have this baby!’ He was so angry that he threatened to leave her for good,” revealed a source close to the Spears family.

“He never planned to have another baby with Jamie Lynn so soon, and he told her that if she couldn’t tell him something so important, than he didn’t want to be with her anymore.

How Lynne Spears found out about the second pregnant
And now we’ve learned that Jamie Lynn told her mom the news while Lynne was out promoting her book “Through the Storm.”

“Jamie Lynn and her mom were on the phone fighting about her getting back with Casey. Lynne shouted that Casey had humiliated her and cheated on her with girls she knows right under her nose,” said the insider.

“That’s when Jamie Lynn blurted out, ‘I’m having another baby! I will be with Casey forever. We’re a family.”

Shocked, Lynne ordered Jamie Lynn not to tell a soul, even Casey, said the source.

“Then Lynne read Jamie Lynn the riot act about how stupid it was for her to get pregnant again, and Jamie Lynn accused her mom of trying to ruin her relationship with Casey,” said the source.

“But Lynne things Casey got Jamie Lynn pregnant on purpose because he sees her as his meal ticket. Now Lynne is desperately trying to talk Jamie Lynn out of having this baby,” said the source.

Meanwhile, Casey is seething that Lynne advised Jamie Lynn to keep the pregnancy from him, insiders say.

“Casey believes he should have been told about the pregnancy right away. He says he’s tired of Jamie Lynn letting Lynne control her life…

“Now, he and Lynne are openly talking about how much they hate each other.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, October 27, 2008]

Jamie Lynn was spotted out without engagement ring, so whether she’s pregnant or not it does seem like there’s truth to the breakup and cheating rumors. The two are back together for now, though, reports the Enquirer. I trust the National Enquirer above the other tabloids due to their solid record of breaking stories that end up being true. MSat keeps reminding me that the NE was the first to come out with the news of Jamie Lynn’s first pregnancy. They may very well have a source close to Jamie Lynn and Casey, and they had a lot of insider information about Casey’s cheating.

They call the source “a family friend,” and last week they say that a “family member” confirmed the news. Britney and Jamie Lynn do have an aunt who has spoken to the press in the past and there are probably more relatives out there, like her weird uncle, who would spill details to the tabloids for cash. All that said, it’s possible their source has incorrect information or is lying for their own purposes. The only way we’ll know for sure is to wait and see if Jamie Lynn starts to show again. If this was true and she followed her mother’s advice we may never know.

The NE reports that “she seems determined to stand up against pressure to have the baby” and say that she is convinced it’s a little boy and has even confirmed the pregnancy with a doctor. She also sadly seems to think that another child will help heal her tenuous relationship with Casey, especially if she has a boy. Despite all the ways that Jamie Lynn seems more mature than her older sister, if this is true she sure seems to be repeating a lot of her mistakes.

Just like her sister Britney, who had her second baby about a year after her first, The National Enquirer reports that Jamie Lynn Spears, 17, is knocked up again. Her daughter Maddie is only three and a half months old and Jamie Lynn is said to be 8 weeks along. MSat just reported that both Jamie Lynn and Casey went to OK! Magazine to deny that they’re having trouble after multiple reports that he cheated on her throughout their relationship. Maybe they have some pretty compelling motivation to set the record straight if they’re expecting another baby:

In a blockbuster world exclusive, The ENQUIRER has learned that the 17-year-old Zoey 101 starlet is now expecting for the second time – a mere three months after giving birth on June 19 to baby Maddie Briann.

Jamie’s desperate to keep the shock ing news secret and some people close to her are urging Jamie Lynn to consider ending the pregnancy, sources say.

“Jamie Lynn is about eight weeks pregnant, and she and her mom Lynne are hysterical,” revealed a close source. “Neither of them knows what to do, but for now they’re trying to keep the news from getting out.”

Too late.

The unplanned pregnancy came as a shock to Jamie Lynn, who’d been breast-feeding her infant daughter Maddie Briann, insiders say.

“Jamie Lynn believed she couldn’t get pregnant while she was breast-feeding,” said the close source. “She’d expected to have her period by early September.” A home pregnancy test came back positive and Jamie Lynn cried her eyes out, said the source.

Her mother Lynne was livid when she found out, divulged an insider.

Meanwhile, insiders say that those close to Jamie Lynn are urging her to abort!

“They’ve reminded Jamie Lynn how much trouble she had adjusting to motherhood with Maddie, and pointed out that having a second baby now would only be a recipe for disaster,” said the close source.

The National Enquirer has a solid record of getting scoops and I bet they have some pretty good sources to back up this story. They broke the John Edwards cheating story months before the rest of the press picked it up. This news is too much of a jaw-dropper to run without fact checking and they probably have it on good authority.

Many women who breastfeed end up pregnant again if they don’t take precautions, and it looks like Jamie Lynn could be headed down that route too. Some praised her for keeping baby Maddie and taking responsibility for her actions, but two in a row just seems careless at her age. If she indeed is pregnant again and has another one, she certainly has the resources to care for the baby. Does she have the wherewithal to cope with two young children though? It proved too much for her older sister to handle.

Update: Jamie Lynn told OK! she wasn’t pregnant, and TMZ quotes a source who also claims she’s not pregnant.

TMZ has an exclusive that law enforcement officials near Jamie Lynn’s hometown of Liberty, Mississippi are looking for the person who is trying to sell personal photos of Jamie Lynn Spears, her boyfriend Casey Aldridge, and her famous sister Britney. Casey Aldridge brought about 12 pictures on a digital camera card to Walmart to get developed. They contained some semi-personal shots and it looks like someone in the photo department got the idea to cash in. One of the photos shows Jamie Lynn’s breast exposed as she nurses her three month old baby, Maddie. Jamie Lynn is still a minor and the person trying to sell the photos could be charged with a federal crime for trying to sell pornography out of state.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ federal and local authorities are on the hunt for someone peddling 12 pics of Britney Spears, Jamie Lynn, daughter Maddie and baby daddy Casey Aldridge. One of the pictures shows Jamie Lynn breast feeding Maddie — Jamie Lynn’s left breast is exposed.

The pics were taken on Casey’s digital camera. We’re told he took the camera card to his local Wal-Mart in Louisiana for copies. Law enforcement believes someone at the Wal-Mart may have made extra copies, then tried selling them.

Because Jamie Lynn is a minor, selling the pics — or buying them — could constitute a violation of federal laws prohibiting pornography. Peddling pictures of a minor’s breast — even if not taken for sexual purposes — could land the seller and the buyer in federal prison if they are marketed across state lines for the purpose of being lurid. Also, anyone purchasing the pics could be prosecuted for the crime of receiving stolen property.

Other pics in the set include Britney holding the baby and one of Jamie Lynn, Britney, Brian (Brit’s bro), Lynne Spears and Jamie Spears around Jamie Lynn’s hospital bed. There are also pics of Maddie by herself, and there’s a picture of Jamie Lynn in a negligee holding the baby.

[From TMZ]

The person who is looking to sell the photos probably thought their ship had come in and they could make a quick few thousand off the photos and maybe quit working at Walmart. Instead they’re facing federal charges, and while it probably won’t come to that it’s going to be a hard lesson to learn.

Maybe this means that everything is fine between Jamie Lynn and Casey and that they’re not estranged as was rumored. They’re possibly older photos, though, because Britney did visit for a day after her niece was born and they may have been taken at that point. Casey could just be hoping to preserve the memories of his shattered relationship.

Things sure seem to be getting tense between Casey Aldridge and the entire Spears clan. According to both The National Enquirer and In Touch, Casey was very specifically not invited to Sean Preston and Jayden James’ recent joint birthday parties. The reason? Things have been pretty bad between Casey and Jamie Lynn since she found out he cheated on him. Since she kicked him out the two haven’t seen much of each other – but when Casey found out Jamie Lynn was taking daughter Maddie to L.A. for the birthday party, he went ballistic.

He threatened to sue Jamie Lynn and mom Lynne Spears for $5 million, but said he’d forget the whole thing if she’d just get back together with him. Sounds like a great building block for a healthy relationship.

The former day laborer… claims she [Jamie Lynn] promised to take care of him for life, and he wants her to make good on the pledge, sources say. “Casey says Jamie Lynn promised him that he wouldn’t have to worry about working after their baby was born, and now Lynne is afraid that he’ll fight for custody of the baby,” a source revealed.

And when Jamie Lynn flew to Los Angeles with Maddie and her mother to celebrate the birthdays of her big sis Britney’s boys – Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2 – on Sept. 13, Casey exploded, insiders say. Right before the trip, “Casey told Jamie Lynn that she was crazy if she thought he’d allow his daughter near Britney when she isn’t even allowed to look after her own children,” said the insider.

“Casey reminded Jaime Lynn that before Maddie was born, she assured him that he’d be ‘financially set’ for the rest of his life after they moved in together,” says the source. “Casey told her that he wants at least $5 million. He figures that’s his cut of what the Spears family will make from selling photos and home videos of Maddie over the years.”

Despite the tough talk, the strapping teenager said he’d forget about the money if Jamie Lynn would just reunite with him, said the source.

[From the National Enquirer, Sept. 29, 2008, print ed.]

That’s really a sign of maturity, level headed thinking, and good parenting right there. “Get back together with me or I will sue you for millions of dollars.” I’m pretty sure that’s the trifecta, and how you know you’re really supposed to be with someone for the rest of your life. Why the hell didn’t Casey just get down on one knee?

What a moron. I have no idea what in the world makes him think he’d get $5 million. Best case scenario, I’d think maybe he could get a percentage of any pictures or videos the Spears family sells of Maddie. But it’s not like he and Jamie Lynne were ever married, and I doubt he’d be able to get enough custody that it’d warrant a significant amount of child support. He’s either incredibly stupid or incapable of controlling his temper and just spouted off at the mouth. But I’m guessing it’s probably both.

The article also mentions that Britney wants Jamie Lynn to move to L.A. and stay with her. But I seriously doubt (or just really really hope) that Jamie Lynn would do that.

Here’s Casey Aldridge and Jamie Lynn Spears together on February 10th when she was pregnant. Images thanks to Fame.

Jamie Lynn Spears, 17, is said to be fuming at reports that came out in the National Enquirer last week that Casey was cheating on her with multiple other women even after their daughter little Maddie was born in June. After hearing the allegations of his affairs, Jamie Lynn told Casey to get all this crap out of the house they’ve been sharing in Liberty, Mississippi and has called off their planned wedding:

Just a week after The Enquirer’s blockbuster interview with one of her fiance’s lovers, teen mom Jamie Lynn Spears has kicked Casey Aldridge to the curb for good!

“Jamie Lynn told Casey to ‘Get out!’ and remove all his belonging from their house,” revealed a source.

The young couple had been living in a three-bedroom home on five acres that Jamie Lynn bought in Liberty, Miss., where she and Casey planned to raise their new baby daughter, Maddie Briann.

“But there’ll be no happily ever after for Jamie Lynn and Casey,” continued the source. “Their planned marriage is now out of the question. Jamie Lynn is determined to raise Maddie Briann by herself.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, September 15, 2008]

That’s pretty much what people expected after hearing that story from the second woman to speak to the tabloids about an affair with Jamie Lynn’s fiance. Casey Aldridge is 18 years old and is obviously not ready to settle down. The first woman who spoke out about an affair may have been doing it for the money or fleeting glimpse at fame, but the second kind of makes it seem like he has a pattern of hound-dogging.

To add an interesting twist to this story is the fact that Casey Aldridge is said to be calling up Kevin Federline and asking for advice. It’s not for a father-to-father chat, though, he wants custody of Maddie and needs to figure out how K-Fed did it with his two kids with Britney, Jamie Lynn’s older sister:

“Casey has been talking with Kevin Federline, seeking his advice and strategy on how he fought and won custody of his two kids with Britney,” said the source.

“Kevin tells Casey to be strong and not let the Spears family cut him off from his child. Unless Jamie Lynn and Casey reconcile at some later time, it is easy to see how this is going to play out – in a huge fight over joint custody.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, September 15, 2008]

Jamie Lynn and Britney’s situations are entirely different and if she does permanently split with Casey he’s not likely to get more than visitation rights with his daughter. Jamie Lynn is now said to be ignoring Casey’s attempts to contact her. The insider is quoted as saying “She’s finally done with him and isn’t taking his calls. She only text messages him if there’s something to tell him about the baby.” That seems like the best course of action in this case, and Jamie Lynn probably would have made a huge mistake if she ended up marrying the guy.

A couple of weeks ago a story came out in In Touch from a 28 year-old woman who claimed to have had an affair with Casey Aldridge, Jamie Lynn Spears’ 19 year-old fiance and the father of her baby. The woman said that Casey was booty calling her when Jamie Lynn was six months pregnant. TMZ disputed that story, saying they had a source that insisted the woman was lying in order to get publicity and some cash. Spears and Aldridge live in a very small community in Mississippi and if he was having an affair the news would have been out sooner, they claimed.

The National Enquirer has a big story in their latest issue with yet another woman who says that Casey was cheating on Jamie Lynn with her – and she claims it happened a week after his baby Maddie was born. She also says he was sleeping with up to four other women, and that the one woman who spoke to In Touch, a friend of hers named Kelli Dawson, was even pregnant with his baby. I believe this because the Enquirer has a solid record of finding exclusives and it’s not the first time I’ve heard it – there was a rumor I read online that InTouch left out that part of their interview with Kelli. The woman interviewed in the Enquirer claims that Casey is only with Jamie Lynn for her money and that Jamie Lynn has purchased two fully equipped trucks for him:

The teenage father of Jamie Lynn Spears’ baby cheated on her just one week after she gave birth to their daughter!

In an exclusive Enquirer interview, 20-year-old Andrea Revels – a former high school classmate of Casey’s – reveals that she and Casey Aldridge had sex in his pickup truck just days after little Maddie Briann’s June 19 birth.

Andrea also says she had a sexual relationship with Casey that went on for years – right under Jamie Lynn’s nose.

And she wasn’t the only woman Casey, 19, was cheating with, Andrea says. She reveals that Casey had sex with four other women while she was dating Jamie Lynn – and got one pregnant!

What’s worse, Andrea says Casey has admitted that he’s with Jamie Lynn only for her money…

“During our romance, Casey was sleeping with as many as four other girls besides Jamie Lynn,” she says.

One of those girls, 28 year-old Kelli Dawson, recently admitted in a published interview that she has been having sex with Casey since 2006. The Enquirer has learned that Kelli became pregnant with Casey’s baby in Spring 2007 – just months before Jamie Lynn got pregnant…

Kelli told friends she miscarried a few months later…

“Casey always acted like he didn’t like Kelli or Jamie Lynn. He would tell me that he broke up with Jamie Lynn, and was fighting with Kelli…” says Andrea…

In 2006, Jamie Lynn gave Casey a black Ford F-150 pickup truck, complete with televisions, custom rims and an expensive sound system. When Casey later wrecked the truck, Jamie Lynn went out and bought him an even more expensive black Ford F-250 that had $100,000 worth of upgrades, says Andrea

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, September 9, 2008]

This guy is such a dog. There are more details in the Enquirer and pictures of Andrea with Casey. I remember seeing a bunch of photos online of Casey kissing another woman and with her at various times, and if my memory is correct she looked like this woman Andrea. The photos were on ONTD and I didn’t run them as it was impossible to date them and it was just speculation that he was cheating on Jamie Lynn with her. I completely believe this story and think Jamie Lynn should avoid marrying Casey and just let him have visitation with his daughter.
