Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge will not have a shotgun wedding, his Baptist minister uncle insists.
The 16-year-old actress - the sister of Britney Spears - is pregnant by her 19-year-old boyfriend, but his uncle, Pastor Odus Jackson, is adamant they will not rush into marriage. Jackson said: "They may or may not get married. You just never know. I hope they will stick it out and get married for the child's sake and their sake. But if they're not in love and it was just a fantasy, they don't need to make the same mistake twice."
Jackson, who is a pastor at Galilee First Baptist Church in Gloster, Mississippi, believes Casey should not have been allowed to go and live near Jamie Lynn in California. He added to People magazine: "He was a typical country boy growing up. He's never given the family a whole lot of problems - no more than most teenagers."
"To me, personally, when he was allowed to go out to California part of his senior year...you know when you put boy and girl together, it don't work. Testosterone is tough to control. We know that it's national news, more than just a boy-girl mess up. But we're not used to media down here." |
