NEW YORK (AP) — Another Spears baby is reportedly on the way — and it's not Britney's. Jamie Lynn Spears, the 16-year-old "Zoey 101" star and sister of Britney, told OK! magazine that she's pregnant and that the father is her boyfriend, Casey Aldridge.

"It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected," she said. "I was in complete and total shock and so was he."

Spears is 12 weeks along and initially kept the news to herself when she learned of the pregnancy from an at-home test and subsequent doctor visit, she told the celebrity magazine, which hits stands in New York on Wednesday and the rest of the country by Friday.

What message does she want to send to other teens about premarital sex? "I definitely don't think it's something you should do; it's better to wait," she told the magazine. "But I can't be judgmental because it's a position I put myself in."

After she found out from a doctor that she was pregnant, she said, "I took two weeks to myself where I didn't tell anybody."

"Only one of my friends knew because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone's opinion affect my decision. Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me," she said.

Spears broke the news to her mother, Lynne, just before Thanksgiving, the magazine reported.

"She was very upset because it wasn't what she expected at all," Spears said. "A week after, she had time to cope with it and became very supportive."

Lynne Spears, already grandmother to Britney's young sons, told the magazine: "I didn't believe it because Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious. She's never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby."

She said her actress daughter, the telegenic heroine of her popular Nickelodeon series, has known Aldridge for years and began dating him in high school.

But in a recent interview with The Associated Press, Spears said she had no steady boyfriend. "I kind of just keep my options open," she said. "I have a bunch of friends that I always hang out with, a bunch of guy friends." She declined to talk about her older sister.

Spears spoke to the AP shortly before Thanksgiving, the day she told OK! she informed her mother about the pregnancy.

Jamie Lynn plans to raise the baby in her home state of Louisiana — "so it can have a normal family life."

Nickelodeon released a statement: "We respect Jamie Lynn's decision to take responsibility in this sensitive and personal situation. We know this is a very difficult time for her and her family, and our primary concern right now is for Jamie Lynn's well being."

A publicist for the network did not immediately respond to phone and e-mail requests for additional comment.

"Zoey 101" is scheduled to conclude its third season Jan. 4 with a cliffhanger episode in which Spears' character must decide whether to leave her fictional Pacific Coast Academy boarding school in California to join her parents in London.

The show is scheduled to resume in February, and its producer, Dan Schneider, has said filming on the fourth season has already been completed.

i was shocked when i read this news. man.. a mother at 16? then she'll probably be a granny at 32 or 33 if her daughter/son decides to pursue his/her mother's ideals.😆😆

this is totally shocking & disappointing.

WWWWHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAA!!!!!............this is bad man! shes turning out 2 be like her sister!

I was also shocked when i read the headlines. I wonder of her boyfriend will be going to jail for statutory rape.

^ parenting book eh? Lynn Spears better cancel it cos it seems from the recent turn of events lynn spears has not been a good mum.😔

i'm usually against abortion but i think in this case, they should consider aborting the baby because i really have a feeling the child is not going to have an easy childhood.😭😭😔

ok! this is really shocking to knw that jamie lynn spears the sweet sister of britney is preg! i thought that atleast jamie wouldn't go on he sister butt..... 🤢 its like she has still gt her whole life in front of her...best of luck to her kid

She is a kid...comeon. Can she even spell pregnant? 🤢

Well to clarify she is 3 months pregnant now according to E! Yes, I watch that channel when I am bored and on vacation. 😳 But she did not tell her mother until after 2 weeks. If she wanted to have premarital relations at 16 of all ages, she should have taken the proper precautions in terms of protection or birth control. I really don't advocate abortion either, but her not telling people did not help her. At least she could have used an emergency contraceptive within a few days. But I don't think that should be used unless it is a case of rape or incest or maybe if you are unprepared like her. Anyways it is her life, and now that she has a baby she should raise it and try to be a good mother.
