Britney Spears's 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn Spears is
pregnant.
Spears and her mother confirmed the pregnancy to OK! magazine,
saying she was 12 weeks along and the father is Jamie Lynn's
longtime boyfriend Casey Aldridge. Aldridge's mother confirmed it
to TMZ.com.
"It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected," Jamie Lynn told
OK!, according to the Associated Press. "I was in complete and
total shock and so was he."
Spears told the magazine that after confirming the pregnancy with a
home test and a subsequent doctor's visit, she told only one friend
then waited two weeks before telling anybody else, including her
parents.
"I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let
anyone's opinion affect my decision," she told the magazine. "Then
I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do
what was right for me."
