Jamie Lynn Spears was a proud mom on Monday as she announced her daughter Maddie’s commitment to attend the University of Southern Mississippi.

The Zoey 101 star, 33, shared she was ‘all in my feels’ about her daughter growing up and pursuing a softball career.

Britney Spears’ younger sister also recalled feeling ‘watched and judged’ for her decision to have Maddie when she was just sixteen.

Jamie Lynn — who has reportedly been ‘struggling’ to stop using Ozempic — shared a number of pH๏τos featuring Maddie, including a snap of her rocking her softball gear. 

In a lengthy caption she cheered Maddie’s decision, writing, ‘all in my feels, bc my baby girl has committed to furthering her athletic & academic career at the University of Southern Miss!’

‘I can remember it like it was just yesterday, as the whole world watched and judged as I made the choice to have my baby at 16 years old, fast fwd to today, and that same little baby girl is now 16 years old herself announcing that she will be going to play D1 ball for an amazing college,’ she went on.

Jamie Lynn then added: ‘I feel like I can’t take much credit for anything, bc I have witnessed this kid go through, face, & overcome some impossible things by her own strong will, convictions, determination, & the sheer grace of God.’

She noted that she did ‘everything I could to better myself’ so that she could ‘be the mama’ Maddie deserved as well as ‘break those generational curses, so they weren’t pᴀssed on to her or any future generations.’

‘I am so excited and blessed to announce my verbal commitment, for my academic and athletic career, to the University of Southern Mississippi!!!’ she wrote. 

‘I am so thankful to all the players, coaches, and family that have supported me and made it possible to get to the point I am today.’

She added: ‘This is a dream come true and I am truly blessed!! Thank you to Coach Poole, Coach Izzy, Coach Aaron, and Coach Matt for this opportunity!! GO EAGLES!!!’

Jamie Lynn found out she was pregnant with Maddie at age 16, shortly after wrapping her series Zoey 101, in a gas station bathroom near her family home of Kentwood, Louisiana. 

She and and ex-fiancé Casey Aldridge welcomed Maddie in 2008. The couple split two years later in 2010.

‘I knew I had a lot of young girls who looked up to me and I felt that responsibility but at the end of the day I knew i would have to make a decision as a young girl myself, to do something that I could sleep with at night,’ she said during the documentary, тιтled When the Lights Go Out, back in 2016. 

‘I knew deep down that I was going to have my little girl, even if I had to raise her on my own, which is what I did,’ she explained.

’There was so much chaos when I made my announcement, It was a real scandal situation at the time,’ she recalled.

Jamie Lynn said she hid in a house with security guards for three weeks until the Us Weekly story broke before deciding what to do next.

‘I bought some land and put a big a** gate around it. I was a child then and I needed to grow up.’

In her 2021 memoir, Things I Should Have Said, Jamie Lynn, recalled getting bombarded with people telling her she was ‘just too young’ and didn’t know what she was doing.

Jamie Lynn also detailed the agony of telling her parents of her pregnancy, which entailed them allegedly pushing her to have an abortion, or to put her child up for adoption back in 2007.

She noted that multiple members of her inner circle came into her room to tell her ‘having a baby at this point’ in her ‘life was a terrible idea.’

Others, who she says ‘wanted to make this issue’ disappear, told her: ‘There are pills you can take. We can help you take care of this problem… I know a doctor.’

‘Everyone was certain that termination would be the best course of action,’ the mom-of-two wrote.

To prevent the public from finding out, the actress said her father Jamie and mother Lynn (née Bridges) took away her phone and said she wasn’t even allowed to tell her older sibling she was expecting a baby girl.

‘I needed her more than ever and she wasn’t able to help me in my most vulnerable time,’ Jamie Lynn said of her sister, Britney. ‘To this day, the hurt of not being able to tell my sister myself still lingers.’

Despite her hesitancy, she said her management team forced her to do an exclusive interview with Us Weekly to break the news and share the first pH๏τos of Maddie.

The star went on to marry her current husband Jamie in 2014 and had another daughter, Ivey, in 2018.
