Jamie Lynn Spears gave birth to a baby girl Thursday morning at a
south Mississippi hospital, according to a person close to the Spears
family.
The person confirmed the baby's birth to The Associated Press. The
person asked not to be identified because the family had not yet
announced the baby's birth.
The 17-year-old was the star of Nickelodeon's "Zoey 101" and is the
younger sister of pop star Britney Spears. The Spears family announced
in December that Jamie Lynn was pregnant. The father is Casey Aldridge,
a pipe-layer from Liberty, Miss. The couple is not married but
announced an engagement several months ago.
A message left at the Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center
where Spears gave birth to the baby was not immediately returned
Thursday and the family could not immediately be reached for comment.
The younger Spears lives near Liberty with Aldridge, 19, and has
been seen around the small south Mississippi town often as her
pregnancy became more apparent. Her family owns a home across the state
line in Kentwood, La.
Spears announced her pregnancy through an article in OK! Magazine
and was expected to receive a large payday for exclusive pictures of
the newborn.
