Britney Spears’ parents seem to be doing a pretty good job of getting their eldest daughter back on track – but that’s left a lot of people wondering exactly what they’re doing with pregnant 17-year-old Jamie Lynn. Jamie Lynn has been back home in Kentwood, Louisiana for a few months now, while mom Lynne Spears shuttles back and forth and dad Jamie stays in Los Angeles. On Jamie Lynn’s birthday a few weeks ago, the entire family was in Los Angeles having dinner with Britney - leaving their youngest daughter back in Kentwood.

Jamie Lynn seems to be poised to assert her independence – according to Contact Music, she went house hunting with fiancé Casey Aldridge this past weekend.

Pregnant teen Jamie Lynn Spears and her boyfriend Casey Aldridge are looking to welcome their first child in a new home - the parents-to-be are househunting in Mississippi. According to reports, the couple has already made their first offer on a three-bedroom house in the town of Liberty.

Zoey 101 star Spears, who is seven months pregnant, has offered close to $300,000 for the house. It boasts a loft, marble floors, a remodeled kitchen and games room. An insider says, “Jamie Lynn is really excited over having a home of her own.”

It seems pretty clear that Jamie Lynn is planning on raising her baby in Kentwood, despite previous reports that she was going to return to L.A. to work on her acting career. The National Ledger reports that Jamie Lynn has turned to Casey’s family for support during her pregnancy.

So what is Jamie Lynn doing to get some help from a parent? According to a report from Life & Style Weekly she is looking outside the Spears family and has honed in on her fiancé Casey Aldridge’s mother for advice and support as she enters her seventh month.

“With her whole family in Los Angeles, Jamie Lynn has turned to Casey’s mom Joyce,” and insider spilled to the weekly entertainment magazine. “I think she sees her as a surrogate mother.” She is putting on a brave face, the insider claims, but she is hurting without any support from her family.

Jamie Lynn has been taking on a huge amount of responsibility for a 17-year-old. From the baby to a fiance to a house – it’s amazing she’s holding it together so well. She’s balancing a load meant for someone a lot older. It’s surprising to see how much her parents are around Britney versus Jamie Lynn. Britney is an adult, and though she clearly needs help right now, you would think Jamie Lynn would be getting a bit more attention. Life & Style says that Jamie Lynn is acting like she doesn’t care about Lynn being gone all the time, but that she’s actually pretty hurt by it. Hopefully the Spears parents will rally around their youngest daughter when she needs it.

This week’s National Enquirer reports that Jamie Lynn’s fiance, Casey Aldridge, 18, was drinking heavily at a party and that pregnant Jamie Lynn stepped in to try and stop a fight between two of his friends. Fists were flying and Jamie Lynn got elbowed hard in the mouth. She was crying and screaming, and the way Casey responded was to try and get her to shut up:

According to a new report from The National Enquirer, Jamie Lynn was injured when she attempted to break up a fight between two of Casey’s friends:

“Jamie Lynn decided she could break it up, but got elbowed hard in the mouth by one of the boy,” says an eyewitness. “She went crazy, screaming at everyone….crying, screaming, and covering her mouth.”

“Casey was so drunk, he just kept trying to hush her up.”

[From popcrunch]

Jamie Lynn just turned 17, and she’s pregnant, but it’s not like she was said to be drinking at the party. She probably thought she could stop the fight since she was one of the only sober people there and assumed that the guys would respect a pregnant woman. Either they didn’t see her or she just got in the way, because she ended up hurt.

Why she was even at a party were teens were drinking is up to question, and given the way the night unfolded it clearly wasn’t a good place for a pregnant girl to be hanging out. At least she’s been trying to lead a quiet life in Louisiana, but she’s still getting into some trouble there. Her fiance was even said to have threatened photographers with a gun he had in his four wheeler. I hope Jamie Lynn makes better choices in life soon, because she’s about to have a baby who depends on her. As it is, she’s hanging out with a young crowd that’s acting their age, which is much too young to be responsible for a child.

Jamie Lynn Spears is shown leaving Connie’s Jewelry and Gifts in Kentwood, LA on 4/9/08, where she was said to have had her engagement ring resized to fit her swelling fingers. I think it was the National Enquirer that reported a few weeks back that she was good friends with a girl who worked there and liked to stop and chat with her during the day. Thanks to Splash News for this photo.

A paparazzo who was following Jamie Lynn Spears and her boyfriend, Casey Aldridge, while they were riding a 4-wheel ATV, claims that Aldridge flashed a gun at him and told him to get lost. TMZ has video of the confrontation and has highlighted an object in the ATV in the video, saying it’s a gun.

Jamie Lynn Spears is packin’ baby, but her man is packin’ too, and he’s pointing his piece at a photog! Casey Aldridge was pissed at a pap who allegedly shot this video on private property — Jamie says it was private, the pap says it wasn’t. Anywho, watch closely as Casey takes the gun from his lap and kinda points it in the direction of the pap, telling him to get the hell on a public road. Yessir!

[From TMZ]

I looked at the video several times and couldn’t see this gun they are pointing at in big red letters, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there. The thing that struck me most about this video is that Jamie Lynn’s boyfriend is a bona fide hillbilly: Riding around in a 4-wheeler with a dog and a cooler in the back- and that accent is straight out of “Deliverance.” If Jamie-Lynn marries this kid, she can forget about her acting career– instead, I see NASCAR Sundays, Coors Light party balls, and domestic disturbance calls to the trailer park in her future. Jesus H. Christ, the Spears girls have abominable taste in men, don’t they?

Jamie Lynn and Casey are shown out on her 17th birthday on 4/4/08, thanks to Splash News.

Jamie Lynn Spears spent her 17th birthday partying it up in a manner more fitting big sister Britney: shopping at Walmart and going to dinner at Ruby Tuesday. Apparently the Spears family does little to combat the stereotypes of the south (what with Britney’s old “I can drive with my kid on my lap, I’m country, that’s what we do). Jaime Lynn’s trying to keep it simple, and you can’t really fault her for that. She spent the afternoon shopping at her local Walmart with baby daddy Casey Aldridge, then the pair hit up Ruby Tuesdays for a romantic dinner. While I’ve never actually set foot inside a Ruby Tuesdays, from glancing in the window I can tell you with some confidence that a plastic carnation in a grocery store vase does not equal a romantic setting. But if you want a mediocre steak at a good price, it’s the place to be.

While most young women turn their 17th birthday into a bawdy bash to remember, OK! can report that America’s most famous pregnant teen, Jamie Lynn Spears, who rang in her last year as a minor on Friday, chose to spend that special day relaxing with fiancé and father of her baby, Casey Aldridge.

Jamie Lynn and Casey spent most Friday relaxing in his hometown of Gloster, Miss., a short drive from the Spears family home in Kentwood, La. Sources tell OK! the lovebirds stayed indoors for most of the big day, emerging later that evening only to make a quick shopping trip to a Wal-Mart supercenter in McComb, where they spent about an hour inside the store. And for a few minutes, the small-town charm of McComb, with its population of 13,500, suddenly began to resemble Hollywood, as local police were called in to keep back photographers and fans. “Jamie Lynn looked super happy and kept smiling inside the Wal-Mart,” one shopper tells OK!.

[From OK!]

Everyone’s making jokes about how Jaime Lynn isn’t with Casey for his money after that meal. But I could kinda joke that he’s not with her for her money either: OK reports that Jaime Lynn went shopping for Casey and bought him several pairs of sneakers at Hibbits Sporting Goods Store – each one retailing for $7.98. No one seems to know what Jamie Lynn got for her birthday from the father of her child, but I’m guessing it was an extra large milkshake.

Here’s Jamie Lynn on her way to Ruby Tuesdays yesterday. Images thanks to Splash.

Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant and officially engaged, all at the tender young age of 17 (as of this Friday). The actress was spotted wearing an engagement ring a little over a week ago, and since then fiancé Casey Aldridge’s cousin (and a few of Jaime Lynn’s friends) have confirmed the impending nuptials. OK! claims to have several exclusives on Jaime Lynn’s wedding plans – though of course we have to wait until it’s on newsstands for all of the specifics.

OK says Jamie Lynn will wait until after the baby is born to marry Casey. Her friends speculate that she’ll want to set the date several months after the birth so that she can get her figure back in order to wear her perfect wedding dress. There’s also a bit of talk about her dream wedding – though something tells me that in Jamie Lynn’s dreams, her wedding was never supposed to happen quite so soon – and probably not with her new baby at the ceremony.

The Zoey 101 star is expecting her first baby in late June with boyfriend Casey Aldridge, and is happily riding out the last months of her pregnancy with Casey by her side. After announcing her pregnancy exclusively to OK! in December, Britney Spears’ little sis has been busy lying low in her hometown of Kentwood, La. As OK! was the first to report, Jamie Lynn and a cousin recently registered for her baby shower at a Babies ‘R’ Us store in the nearby city of Baton Rouge.

And those closest to Jamie Lynn tell OK! the teen plans to stay true to her small-town roots, most likely exchanging vows with Casey in Kentwood at “Serenity,” the estate owned by Britney — who obviously leads the list of possible bridesmaids. “She’ll have the baby there, and soon after, she will also get married there,” says a pal of the teen. “I expect she’ll want to wait at least several months to get her figure back so she can wear a beautiful wedding gown and then have her dream wedding.”

[From OK!]

You can’t help but worry for anyone who gets married at 17. And to be fair, you can’t help but worry for anyone who has a baby at 17. Putting the two together seems like a lot of pressure on such a young couple. They’re certainly better off financially than any other 17-year-old couple I’ve ever heard of, but money doesn’t equal maturity. Hopefully Jamie Lynn’s got a better head on her shoulders than some of her family members… or will at least hire a very, very qualified nanny.

Here’s Jamie Lynn showing off her engagement ring while running errands near her Louisiana home on April 1st. Images thanks to Splash.

Jamie Lynn Spears on 2/28/08
Pregnant teen actress Jamie Lynn Spears may be engaged– or at least she is sporting a new diamond ring given to her by her baby daddy Casey Aldridge. People is reporting that family insiders have seen the ring up close, but can’t give details on when the wedding will take place.

Mom-to-be Jamie Lynn Spears is sporting some sparkling new jewelry – an engagement ring from fiancé Casey Aldridge.

Spears, 16, has been flashing the rock to friends and family around Louisiana and Mississippi, a source close to the family tells PEOPLE.

“She’s got an engagement ring,” the source says. “She’s been showing it off, talking about it.”

Spears and her 18-year-old fiancé are expecting the baby this summer. No official word yet on a wedding date for the couple.

[From People]

That shrieking sound you hear is Lynne Spears, reading this story. As you recall, Lynn was adamant, in the interview with OK! Magazine breaking the pregnancy story, that Jamie Lynn was not going to marry Casey. But clearly, Jamie Lynn has a mind of her own. While she has reportedly been in therapy, taking parenting classes, and passed her GED exam, Jamie Lynn has also been on her own much of the time over the last few months since her older sister had a total meltdown and was in the hospital. So it makes sense that she would get closer with Casey while her mom and dad are away, looking after Britney. Hopefully this will be a long engagement instead of a rush to the altar before the baby is born. Jamie Lynn should know what a disaster that would be simply be looking at what happened to her sister.

Jamie Lynn out with Britney on October 7, 2007
A friend of rapper Lil’ Romeo supposed had a fling with Jamie Lynn Spears last year and is worried that he might be the father of her baby-to-be. Questionable source In Touch reports that someone close to the situation told them that this guy is hurt that Jamie Lynn blew him off after their brief romance, and that he’s upset she never contacted him to tell him of her pregnancy. As far as this guy is concerned, it could possibly be his.

In Touch also reports that Jamie Lynn dated ‘Lil Romeo briefly, but there is no allegation that he could be the father of her baby. There’s also another story that the 16 year-old was the victim of a predatory producer on her Nickelodeon show, Zoey 101, and that the unnamed much older man could be responsible for her pregnancy:

When Jamie Lynn fought with Casey, she became involved with a teenage pal of Lil’ Romeo’s, a confidant alleges. When the teenager heard Jamie Lynn was pregnant, “He was scared because they didn’t use protection,” the insider says…

Like most teenage girls, Jamie Lynn was often unsure of herself and her boyfriend Casey, 18, didn’t help matters. “Jamie Lynn said she and Casey were having serious problems and she was upset about it,” says the insider. “She said Casey cheated on her all the time, and that she couldn’t trust him.”

Deeply upset, Jamie Lynn turned to her new male friend for support and advice - and before long, the insider alleges things turned physicial. “The would fool around at his mother’s house. He was totally in awe of her,” the insider claims. “He said that she was very experienced and had a great body. He was in heaven.”

But it didn’t last long. “He was totoally upset but figured she had gotten back together with Casey,” says the insider. When the boy learned Jamie Lynn was pregnant, the insider says “he was scared” that he might be the father. But Jamie Lynn never contacted him, and his fears turned to hurt. “He feels like she brushed him off.”

[From In Touch, print edition, March 3, 2008. First paragraph is in an inset article, which is why it doesn't lead naturally into the rest of the story]

The National Enquirer has an article this week that semi-supports this story. They claim to have an insider source who says that in a moment of anger Jamie Lynn confessed to Casey that he might not be the father of her baby. She later tried to take it back, but the damage was already done. What’s more is that Kevin Federline is said to have advised Casey to get a paternity test to determine if he is the father of the child once it is born.

Jamie Lynn is said to be pressuring Casey to marry her, but he is said to be reluctant given their issues and the fact that he’s not sure he’s the baby’s father.

Casey does seem to be around for the long haul, though. In Touch reports that he was spotted looking for a home with Jamie Lynn and her mother on February 18. They report that “The couple spent two hours negotiating with real estate agents to purchase the estimated $300,000 home in a gated community near Macomb, Mississippi, 20 minutes from Kentwood” [LA, where Jamie Lynn's parents live.]

Jamie Lynn is reportedly due soon, around March 7, but that may be early as photos in the tabloids make it seem like she’s not really showing yet, but it’s hard to tell with the clothing she wears. That would make this story plausible if she was with this other guy in June of last year.

Britney and Jamie Lynn are shown out on 10/7/07, thanks to Splash News.

Note: We have two Jamie Lynn stories this morning, as Helen also covered the fact that she passed her GED.

I read the much-anticipated tabloids’ take on 16 year-old Jamie Lynn Spears’ pregnancy, which she announced through celeb-friendly OK! Magazine, and they have more details that suggest that she was fibbing to OK! We already reported on the news that she’s more than just three months’ pregnant as she claims and that it is suspected that her on-off boyfriend Casey Aldridge is not the father. (Most of you have heard that she may have been the victim of an older producer on her tween-oriented series Zoey 101, and that he could be the father of her baby.)

Star focuses on Casey, as we reported, and how he was fooling around behind Jamie Lynn’s back and may have even fathered another young woman’s baby while he was dating her.

The National Enquirer also reports that Casey is a cheater, and says that Jamie Lynn is due on March 7, which would make her six months’ pregnant, not three as she claims. They say that her mother Lynne Spears didn’t want her to have the baby at first. They skirt around the topic of abortion, but it seems clear that’s what they mean. It was Casey who talked Jamie Lynn into keeping the baby, they claim:

Jamie Lynn Spears’ baby is due March 7 - and an ultrasound shows that it’s a girl, the Enquirer has learned exclusively. And while her mother demanded she not keep the baby, Jamie Lynn refused - and how the 16-year-old has set her heart on marrying the baby’s father, boyfriend Casey Aldridge, a close source reveals.

“Jamie Lynn learned she was pregnant in late July, but her mother Lynne didn’t want anyone to know,” the source told The Enquirer…

“To keep is quiet, Lynne whisked Jamie Lynn from California back to her home in Kentwood, LA, as soon as she finished filming… Zoey 101 in August.

“The Lynne demanded that Jamie Lynn not keep that baby. At first, Jamie Lynn agreed, but then Casey talked her into keeping the baby.

Determined to have her way, Jamie Lynn threatened to run away, marry Casey, who’s 18, and go live with her big sister Britney, said another insider.

Lynne, 55, dropped her demand, but she’s suspicious of Casey’s motives, sources say.

“Lynnes doesn’t believe Casey loves Jaime Lynn, even though he wants to marry her. She thinks he got Jamie Lynn pregnant on purpose for money and the fame of being the father of her baby,” said the source.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, January 7, 2008]

How complicated can this story get? Jamie Lynn wanted to get married to Casey and move in with Britney, and that would have been entirely possible if they could have hired an organization expert and cleaning team to sanitize the mansion. Britney doesn’t live there anyway.

I guess it’s not surprising that Lynne wanted Jamie Lynn to have an abortion, even though the family is reportedly Southern Baptist and pro-life. I’m pro-choice, but understand the strong feelings that people have on both sides. To me it is an individual choice, although I respect the pro-life stance and belief that it’s wrong not to carry a pregnancy to term. My opinion on it changed quite a bit after I had my own baby, and I’ve had disagreements with family members about this very emotionally-charged issue.

It’s just a sad situation all around. Hopefully this baby will get the love and care it deserves and everything will work out for the best, no matter who is the father. It seems like Casey at least thinks he’s the dad if he’s supporting Jamie Lynn so much. Either way, once Jamie Lynn’s daughter reaches googling age she’ll be able to find out that her grandmother didn’t want her mom to have her. Maybe she’ll have other reasons to hate her by then anyway.

Jamie Lynn and Lynne Spears are shown at the LA Airport on 10/6/07, thanks to Splash News. Jamie Lynn would have been a few months’ pregnant by then, but it’s hard to tell.

Crazy Days and Nights ran a blind item last month that suggested that one of the producers of Jamie Lynn’s show Zoey 101 was the father of her baby and that he was old enough to be her grandfather. They also said that producers were freaking out and trying to find a boyfriend they could pin the pregnancy on.

This weeks’ Star Magazine is set to report that the father of Jamie Lynn’s baby is suspected to be an “older executive” on her show who will face statutory rape charges if the news came to light. Casey Aldridge is not the father and hasn’t steadily dated Jamie Lynn, Star claims. Casey has another girlfriend and is said to be being paid to keep his mouth shut.

Star magazine insists that the teenager may not be the dad - and that Spears’ friends and family think it is an older man who would face statutory rape charges.

Friends have said that Jamie Lynn was no longer even seeing Casey - and family members told Star that they believe the real father is a much older executive at her children’s TV show ‘Zoey 101′.

“Casey is being paid off to be the family’s fall guy while the real father remains unidentified,” Star magazine insists.

They say the real reason is that an older man could be charged with statutory rape if revealed to be the father of an under-aged girl’s baby.

But in Jamie Lynn’s home state of Louisiana, Casey would escape charges because a 16-year-old can legally have sex with someone less than two years older than her. “Conveniently, Casey falls under the bar by just 26 days.

“The man many suspect is the father, however, would face charges and probably prison time if he were to come forward and admit he had sex with her,” Star magazine states.

The magazine quotes “two separate Spears family insiders” who believe the father is someone who works on Jamie Lynn’s kids’ show. “Jamie Lynn has been working on Zoey since she was 13,” one of the sources said. “In Hollywood, little girls grow up fast, and she is 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.”

Another family source added: “Some of us have doubts as to the legitimacy of the claim that Casey is the father.

“Before the news of the pregnancy, how often did you see them together?

“Jamie Lynn has dated Casey on and off over the past two years.

“But it was not steady. In fact, she was looking to date Kevin Federline’s brother about a year ago.

“Jamie Lynn went through a time of partying, and Casey was just a part of that.”

[From Showbiz Spy]

They also say that Jamie Lynn is six months pregnant, not three, and that Casey got a different girl pregnant this year and had to confess to Jamie Lynn. Casey has another girlfriend, they claim, and has made no secret of the fact that he’s dating her:

In fact, Star claims he had a pregnancy scare with a different girl and had to confess to Jamie Lynn. “Casey is a serial cheater who has lied to Jamie Lynn time and time again,” a close friend told the magazine. “This past spring, he was forced to tell Jamie Lynn that he’d cheated on her and gotten that girl pregnant.”

In fact, Star even insists Casey was openly dating yet another girl at the same time as he was supposed to be romancing Spears. “Yes, my sister is dating Casey - they’ve been dating for a while,” said Kevin Seals of his sister Whitney Seals.

“I know Jamie Lynn was real jealous about Whitney’s relationship with Casey.”

[From Showbizspy]

According to this article it sounds like it’s still possible that Casey is the father, but that it’s more likely to be this unnamed producer on her show who took advantage of her. There are at least seven “directors” of Zoey 101 listed on IMDB, and not all of them have ages or biographical data, so it would be pointless to speculate who the father might be. If it’s true that an older man who worked with young Jamie Lynn was preying on her like that, he needs to go to jail. As it is, he’s probably trying to lay low, just like Casey has been doing. The tabloids aren’t going to let up on this one and I bet that guy’s identity will be revealed soon.

I finally have access to the OK! Interview with Jamie Lynn and Lynne Spears, and there are some details about Casey and Jamie Lynn’s relationship that I haven’t read in other sources yet. There’s also a recent interview with Casey’s uncle that makes it clear Casey is 18, not 19, and that he’s just a month less than two years older than Jamie Lynn. That means that their relationship would not be classified as statutory rape in Louisiana, but that it is legally a misdemeanor in California.

1. Jamie Lynn and Casey are not living together, according to statements she gave to OK! Magazine.
Of course she would deny this when asked directly, but this is what she told OK! She also said she had to call him to tell him she was pregnant and that they had to meet to talk about it the next day, so it doesn’t sound like they were living together.

Are you guys living together?
No, I live with my mom. He lives with his parents. For now, that’s the best thing to do. We need to focus on the baby right now.

[From OK! Magazine, print edition, December 31, 2007]

2. Casey’s birthday is April 29, 1989, which makes him 18. Jamie Lynn’s birthday is April 4, 1991, which makes her 16. They are just under two years apart.

Casey’s uncle told CelebTV that he was born on that date, and his birthday was confirmed with the Mississippi Department of Motor Vehicles.

As we mentioned above, this means that this relationship does not meets the two year age difference cutoff for possible prosecution under Louisiana law, but that under California law it is a misdemeanor that could result in up to one year in county jail.

Here is a recap of the laws on statutory rape in the applicable states:

Louisiana law defines this unlawful carnal knowledge as “sexual intercourse with consent between someone age 19 or older and someone between age 12 and 17.”

In Louisiana a person can only legally consent to sex at age 17. If aged 15 or 16, the other person involved must be no more than two years older for the act to be considered legal…

The Californian Penal Code states that any person who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor under 18 who is not more than three year younger than the perpetrator, is guilty of a misdemeanour and faces up to one year in a county jail.

[From The Daily Mail]

3. Jamie Lynn said she met Casey in church when she was 14, but that they were “friends first.” They’ve been dating for two and a half years, which means that when they started dating she was 14 and he was 16.

How long have you and Casey been together?
This Christmas, it’ll be about two and a half years, I think. At first, I was just friends with him; I’ve been friends with him since I was about 14. Then we started dating. I met him at church. He came there with a friend; I came there with a friend. We started talking and then started hanging out.

[From OK! Magazine, print edition, December 31, 2007]

4. Casey and Jamie Lynn both told her mother together about her pregnancy

Jamie Lynn says the first person she told of her pregnancy was “probably Casey,” and that she and Casey told her mom that she was pregnant. She also said she decided to keep the baby because she’s “trying to do the right thing.”

Who did you call first when your pregnancy was confirmed?
It was probably Casey. It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected. I was in a complete and total shock and so was he.

When did you see him after finding out?
The next day, he wanted to meet me in person to talk about what we had to do. It was something we couldn’t really talk about over the phone. We met and talked about everything and decided what we wanted to do. He was 100 percent supportive, and we figured it out.

Was this planned?
Oh, it was a big shock.

Why did you decide to keep the baby?
I think my whole life I would have to live with knowing what I did or what I didn’t do. I’m trying to do the right thing. I think that this is what is going to make me happy in the end.

Other people your age might not be brave enough to take on this kind of commitment…
Well, I was scared at first. I took the time to think about it for myself, and I though: “What would be right for me?” I’m the one who has to live with it for the rest of my life. I put myself in this position, an adult position, so I have to act like an adult and take responsibility for what I did. I have really become at peace with the whole situation, and I think it’s the right thing for me to do. It’s a personal decision that everyone would have to make for themselves. This one is just right for me….

What was [your mom's] reaction when you told her you were pregnant?
She didn’t really say anything at first. She just kind of looked at me. It was me and Casey that told her. She didn’t believe us. But then she looked at Casey and he’s always been very straightforward, and then she knew it was real. She was very upset because it wasn’t what she expected at all. A week after, she had time to cope with it and became very supportive.

So if Casey and Jamie Lynn are separated as this point, as has been rumored, they were at least close enough when they found out she was pregnant to tell her mother. Jamie Lynn also said in the interview that Casey will make a great father, and that she wants to raise the baby in Louisiana so “it can be around my mom and Casey’s family.”
