Jamie Lynn Spears has been in the public eye since she starred on the very popular Nickelodeon Show, 'Zoey 101" in 2005. Three years later, and at the height of popularity with tweens around the world, Jamie Lynn became pregnant. She was only 16 years old and didn't have a clue how to take care of herself, let alone a baby.

It is a difficult position to find yourself in as a teen mom, and it was only worse because Jamie Lynn is a celebrity. Jamie Lynn not only had to tell her parents that she was pregnant, but she had to come to terms with the fact that her life was about to drastically change forever.

Despite rumors, Zoey 101 didn't end because Jamie Lynn became pregnant, and it's important to her that people know that. The show ended because the contract was up. Now there is a reprise in the works that will bring the whole gang from Pacific Coast Academy back.

Stepping Out of the Spotlight

In recent interviews, Jamie Lynn has said that she hid away for a bit after announcing that she was pregnant. She wanted some peace to come to terms with the fact that she was about to be a mom, being a child herself. Once her daughter Maddie was born, she tried to shelter her daughter as much as she could from the spotlight and let her grow up in an ordinary world. There was a good reason for her to want some space, especially after seeing the media hound her sister, Britney Spears. Jamie Lynn gave birth to her second daughter, Ivey, whom she shares with her husband, Jamie Watson.

From the time she became pregnant, Jamie Lynn knew she was going to put her career on hold, move to a small house out of the way, and raise her daughter. Spears didn't mind stepping out of Hollywood's spotlight to raise her daughter; in fact, it became her most important role and one she wouldn't change for the world.

With 2 daughters now and a husband by her side, Spears is ready to face new milestones in her life, both personally and publicly. Knowing how harsh Hollywood can be, having seen it first hand with her famous sister Britney, the one thing she will never do is allow for anyone to interfere with her parenting.

Living a Quiet Life

Her decision to move to Liberty, Mississippi, and raise her daughter was one she never second-guessed. And although Spears devotes her time to Maddie (12) and Ivey (2), she also takes time to perform music. Like her sister, Jamie Lynn has a love for making music and the talent to pull it off.

She's enjoyed time in Nashville, recording songs and performing for large audiences, spending time with her sister, and doing what she does best; being a mom.

Her love for her eldest daughter was cemented even further after an ATV accident almost took her life. The ATV flipped, trapping 8-year-old Maddie underwater for several minutes, leaving Spears to believe she had lost her daughter. Now 12, Maddie is healthy and has made a full recovery.

There was a lesson that Jamie Lynn learned from watching Britney go through the trials of parenthood, a broken relationship, and the stress of the spotlight. Hollywood was cruel to her sister, relentless in the way they picked her apart, followed her every move, and criticized her for making mistakes that everyone does, only they were there to capture every excruciating moment.

Jamie Lynn is content with her quiet life, away from the glare of paparazzi, content with her music, her children, and her husband. She will not allow, no matter where her professional path takes her, for her children to be swallowed by the dark side of fame.

What's Next for Jamie Lynn Spears

It's no secret that Jamie Lynn has been hoping for a Zoey 101 reboot for a long time. With other shows coming back to see the former child stars all grown up, Jaime Lynn will officially reprise her role as Zoey Brooks on the hit Nickelodeon show that was so popular from 2005-2008.

On Monday, October 19th, Jamie Lynn made the official announcement that there would be a Zoey 101 reunion. The exact date and specifics of the reunion have yet to be announced, but Spears will definitely let her fans know as soon as she does. It will be a huge hit, with parents almost as excited at the impending reunion as their kids will be to be introduced to Zoey Brooks.
