Jamie Lynn Spears has opened up about the experience of having her daughter when she was only sixteen.

When Jamie Lynn, famously the younger sister of Britney Spears, fell pregnant, she was the star of the hit Nickelodeon show Zoey 101.

She was set up to become the next big thing and then she announced her pregnancy and retreated from public life to raise her daughter Maddie in 2008.

Casey Aldridge and Jamie Lynn Spears became parents at a young age.

She’s since returned to the public, dabbling in everything from country music to acting on the hit Netflix show Sweet Magnolias.

She’s currently on the UK’s version of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, filmed in Australia, and she’s candidly opened up about what it was like falling pregnant as a famous teenager.

Jamie Lynn said that when she fell pregnant, she thought she was with the love of her life, which was with her boyfriend Casey Aldridge, and she decided to keep the baby, but the response to her decision was harsh.

“The whole world was like, ‘You’re a s**t. You’re horrible. Your life’s over.’ … Because I got pregnant young. I was on a kids’ show.”

In the jungle, French reality television star Fred Sirieix asked Jamie Lynn how her parents took the news, and Jamie Lynn said it was a “hard” time because there was so much going on.

“It’s also like your baby is having a baby,” she mused.

Jamie Lynn teamed up as she discussed how painful the reaction was to her pregnancy.

“When I first got pregnant, they didn’t want me to have the baby, just a lot of people around me,” she confessed.

Sirieix jumped in and said that Jamie Lynn had done an “amazing” thing,

“You have so much strength of character to do what you did,” he pointed out.

Earlier this year Jamie Lynn went on Hannah Brown’s Better Tomorrow podcast and revealed that after having her daughter she really leant into living in her small town of Mississippi and how that helped her cope and she put herself on a “budget” to live a life away from the spotlight.

“I think being in a small town and going into a store, who’s checking you out doesn’t care about who you are, what you’re doing, or who’s taking your picture, she’s trying to get home to her kids,” she said.

Jamie Lynn added that stepping away from fame really helped her find the right mindset to raise her daughter.

“Interacting with people like that daily makes you have a much different outlook whenever a newspaper writes a bad headline about you that’s not true. Like, you know what, that doesn’t matter. These are the people that matter,” she said.
