Jamie Lynn Spears' baby secret revealed
Monday, 23 June 2008
Britney Spears and her family are "thrilled" with the arrival of Jamie Lynn's newborn daughter, reports proud grandfather Jamie.
The 17-year-old sister of pop star Britney gave birth to Maddie Briann, her first child with fiance Casey Aldridge, at Mississippi Southwest Regional Medical Center in McComb, Mississippi last Thursday.
Her dad, who was said to be present at the birth, insists the entire family are delighted with the newest member of their clan.
He told Life & Style magazine: "We're thrilled, we're all absolutely thrilled."
The Zoey 101 actress stunned the Spears family when she announced her pregnancy news last year, at the age of 16. Her boyfriend Casey Aldridge proposed in March and it is thought they will marry in the next six months.
Jamie Lynn was inspired to name her newborn daughter Maddie Briann after reading a series of the Madeline children's books, according to the New York Daily News.
A source revealed: "Jamie was a huge fan of the Madeline children's books when she was a little girl and always wanted to name her daughter that."
