Los Angeles - Britney Spears' pregnant sister Jamie Lynn has split from her boyfriend.
Jamie, who revealed she is 12 weeks pregnant with her first baby with childhood sweetheart Casey Aldridge, is now seemingly single.
On Wednesday, Casey, 17, set his mood to "Blah" on social networking site MySpace and changed his status to "Me and Jamie are over :(".
Jamie, who stars as a schoolgirl in hit Nickelodeon TV show Zoey 101, revealed she was "scared" to tell her parents she is expecting a baby.
She said: "I took two weeks to myself where I didn't tell anybody. Only one of my friends knew because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone's opinion affect my decision.
"Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me. My mom was very upset because it wasn't what she expected at all. A week after, she had time to cope with it and became very supportive."
Jamie's father, also called Jamie, is said to have been left "devastated" by the announcement.
A source close to the Spears family told Us Weekly magazine: "Jamie is devastated by the news. He is extremely depressed and feels Jamie Lynn has ruined her life."
It has also been claimed Britney's ex-husband Kevin Federline found out about the pregnancy before the Toxic singer so he could be prepared for the "fallout".
The source added: "Kevin knew before Britney that Jamie Lynn is pregnant. In fact, Britney's mom Lynne, told Kevin about it on Monday, because Lynne wanted Kevin to be prepared when Britney found out." - BANG Media International
