14 DAY TRIAL // At the beginning of the year, reports started circulating in the US tabloids that new mom Jamie Lynn Spears, sister to the more famous Britney Spears, was preparing to walk down the aisle with the father of her baby, Casey Aldridge. Now, sources close to the star are telling a different story, according to which Jamie Lynn has finally grown up and realized that a ring on her finger and a piece of paper will not change her life for the better.
OK! Magazine has spoken to friends and acquaintances of the Spears clan and has learned that motherhood has changed Jamie Lynn, helping her grow up and realize that a marriage on paper means close to nothing if her heart is not in the right place.
It’s not that she does not love Casey anymore, sources vouch, but just that she has come to the mature conclusion that a relationship needs a lot of work, and hers definitely fits in here.
“The wedding’s off. They are still in love, living together and very happy, but they have no plans to get married. Jamie Lynn has everything she wants and feels no need for a ring and piece of paper.” the unnamed spy says for the aforementioned mag. Yet, the source fails to mention whether there was any wedding to speak of (since earlier reports were never confirmed) or, if it did, how far did the couple go along with the preparations.
On a more professional note, reportedly, Jamie Lynn Spears has also decided never to return to Hollywood again. Although her performance in “Zoey” was well received by critics and the public alike, with most hailing her as the next rising star with the potential to become even better and bigger than her own sister, what Jamie Lynn wants to do now is focus on her family life. Hollywood is in the past for her, the same source adds, and the moment she realizes what she wants to do with her life, she will also pick up a regular day job to provide for her little daughter.
“She has told friends and family she’s never coming back to Hollywood. She feels that part of her life is over. Jamie Lynn enjoyed every minute of doing ‘Zoey,’ but since she’s had Maddie, her life has changed completely. She’s happy being a real hands-on Southern mother and hopes to continue that for years to come with Casey right by her side. Jamie Lynn knows she needs to make a living when she grows older, so she’s already discussing her career options with advisers. She wants Maddie to grow up in comfort.” the spy concludes by telling the mag.
