Jamie Lynn Spears Split with Beau

Jamie Lynn Spears split with her boyfriend and father of her child, Casey Aldridge. Their relationship lasted for nearly 2 years. In these couple of years, they had a baby called Maddie Briann. The baby is now 20 months old. This period also saw Casey in a major car crash in April which almost killed him off. But the relationship is over now and it brings back memories of the split of Jamie's elder and more famous or rather infamous sister, Britney Spears.

But Jamie didn't take the path taken by the senior Spears when she split up with Kevin Federline. Britney spiraled down the slide, never finding a foothold for herself again. She's still making abortive attempts to salvage her sunk career. Jamie seems to have taken her break up better than Britney did. In fact, she has her options ready! The 18-year old is now dating James Watson, a 28-year old Louisianan.

Our database tells us that James Watson is the owner of Advanced Media Partners in Hammond, LA. The firm deals with communications and television equipment. Though new to the celebrity gossip pages, James certainly knows how to handle the media. When he was contacted about his side of the story, his secretary took the customary "No comments" stand! Should we take that for a "Yes"?
