Los Angeles, February 6 -- Britney Spears' little sis Jamie Lynn Spears has reportedly split from longtime boyfriend Casey Aldridge, with whom she has a 19-month-old daughter Maddie. She broke up with her baby’s daddy to be with a much older man she met close to a year ago, according to multiple media reports.
Reportedly Spears, the younger sister of pop star Britney Spears, is dating 28-year-old businessman James Watson, owner of Advanced Multimedia Partners.
Jamie Lynn moved on
Jamie Lynn, the star of Nickelodeon television comedy ‘Zoey 101’ moved on from her break-up with Aldridge in December as she began seeing Watson, who lives in Hammond, Louisiana, according to Star magazine.
A source close to Spears tells the magazine that Jamie Lynn and Aldridge, 20, never had much of a future together. So, they decide to go different path.
It is believed that their split was a long time coming. “Even when she was pregnant, she didn’t really see a future with him,” adds the source. “She only gave the impression of staying with him so long because it looked better in the eyes of the public."
New man in Spears’ life
Jamie Lynn, who made headlines in 2007 when she announced that she was pregnant at the age of 16, and Watson, the very successful businessman whose company installs high-definition televisions and communications equipment for corporations, started dating in December (09).
The insider said younger Spears’ relationship with the Louisiana-based business tycoon is going well. “They started dating last December. I don’t think James care at all about who she is; they really seem to like each other,” the insider reveals.
"He installs communications equipment and high-definition TVs for large corporations," the source says of Watson. "James enjoys making money — and enjoys spending it too."
Spears’ shocking pregnancy news
Jamie Lynn announced in December (07) that she is expecting her first child, and the father is her longtime boyfriend, Casey Aldridge, whom she first met at a church. The sensational disclosure of teen actress’ pregnancy shocked everyone, causing a media frenzy, because she was just 16 years old at the time.
She first confirmed the pregnancy through an at-home test, and later, a doctor's visit. Jamie’s mother, Lynne Spears, initially was not happy with the news but later accepted it and became supportive.
Born on April 4, 1991 in Mississippi, Jamie Lynn is an American actress and singer. She is best known for starring in the Nickelodeon television series Zoey 101, playing as Zoey Brooks. She is also known for being the younger sister of pop singer Britney Spears.
