Jamie is also a mother to her 12-year-old daughter Maddie, who she shares with ex Casey Aldridge.
Last year, she told ET that her oldest would be the perfect choice to play a younger version of her for a reboot of Nickelodeon’s hit show Zoey 101, which ended in 2008.

‘Maybe she could play Zoey when she was younger or something,’ Spears said of her eldest daughter, confirming that a reboot of her popular 2000s teen comedy was in the works (Maddie on the right with sister Ivey)
It ran from 2005 to 2008 and was one of the most popular shows on the network during its heyday.

She gave birth to daughter Maddie in 2008 and became engaged to Aldridge that same year. The pair later split up in 2010 after an on-again-off-again romance.

The potential reboot of Zoey 101 would presumably see the star reprise her role as the titular character with her daughter Maddie who played her at the same age as when the show was initially filmed.
“I think we’re still having the conversations and figuring out how to tell the story in a way that does it justice because we want it to be right,” said Jamie Lynn.
Add: ‘We want it to relate to the fans. That’s why the show worked in the first place, because we connected with our fans and where they were in their lives.
“So we want to make sure we find a home and tell the best story.”
Gang is all there! Recently, Jamie Lynn and other Zoey 101 stars – Paul Butcher, Chris Massey, Sean Flynn, Matthew Underwood, Erin Sanders and Kristin Herrera – reunited last year for an All That special.
