Jamie Lynn Spears is blessed with a mother-of-two after welcoming a daughter with husband Jamie Watson in Covington, Louisiana, on Wednesday. “We are beyond excited to welcome this beautiful baby girl to our family!” Spears said People in an interview.
Moreover, On Instagram, the doting mom shared a photo of her family that included her first-born Maddie Briann Aldridge, whom she had at age 17 with former fiancé Casey Aldridge. "Baby Ivey Joan Watson is here ❤️," Spears, 27, wrote.
She also said, People, that Ivey Joan's middle name has a special significance. “Her middle name, Joan, is to honor my Aunt Sandra, who passed away 10 years ago from ovarian cancer. She was the most graceful woman I’ve ever known," Spears continued. Ivey Joan was born a healthy 7 lbs., 8 oz. and measured 19½ inches in length.
In December, Spears announced she was expecting and said that Maddie, 9, was "FINALLY going to be a big sister.""Looks like we are starting off 2018 with another big milestone...," Spears wrote on Facebook before explaining why she had taken some time off from the limelight.
"2017 was filled with some of the biggest challenges of my life, as well as some of the biggest blessings, so I made a choice to lay low this year to focus on truly becoming my best self as a person and as an artist," she said. "During that time, I continued working on my music and telling my story, which has created some of my most honest work and I CANT wait to share that with you all very soon."
Last June, Watson, 35, told Entertainment Tonight that he'd been “wanting to have kids since the day we got married.” “The time is right," he said. It sure is!
