Don’t look for the 16-year-old to follow in her big sis’s footsteps by running off to Las Vegas and getting hitched before Christmas.
But, it’s not because she and her boyfriend, Casey Aldridge don’t want to. According to TV’s “Access Hollywood,” the reason wedding bells won’t be ringing (just yet) for the “Zoey 101” star is because now that Jamie Lynn has gone public with her pregnancy her parents aren’t letting her out of their sight so she can’t “do anything she’ll regret.”
The quote comes from a friend of the Spears family who tells the TV show that Jamie Lynn and Casey’s parents “don’t think they should get married now. They are too young. They should wait.”
However, a friend of the Aldridge family says Casey “wants to get married rally bad.” But, don’t expect to hear him make that statement publicly. Sources say the 19-year-old pipe laying, deer-hunting, dirt-bike-riding former high school class president who still lives in his tiny Mississippi hometown has gone into hiding.
One of the benefits of strategically timing when the news that you impregnated Britney Spears’s sister would be made public is that you have time to out run the paparazzi.
This has proven especially helpful to the daddy-to-be who is described by friends and family members as “a quiet guy who doesn’t like the limelight.”
Though, that hasn’t stopped the media from trying to hunt Aldridge down like a Thanksgiving turkey. Media representatives from around the world have reportedly swarmed the southern Mississippi town where Aldridge briefly attended junior college (he now works for a pipe-laying company in Baton Rouge, Louisiana). Nearby Liberty, Mississippi where Aldridge went to high school and excelled on the football field has a population of just over 1,000 residents, but not even 48 hours after the news broke that the former class president got Spears pregnant the paparazzi has caused the population to nearly double.
According to Aldridge’s uncle, Casey plans to “hide as much as he can.”
Personally, I don’t think the guy stands a chance against the paparazzi. Do you?
