Maddie celebrated “overcoming her high school pregnancy” in a TikTok video posted on November 13
Maddie is now a student at the University of Southern Mississippi and plays for the school’s softball team.
Jamie Lynn Spears’ daughter Maddie knows that a joke is always a lot of fun.
Jamie Lynn, 35, had Maddie on June 19, 2008, when she was 17, with her ex-fiance, Casey Aldridge, who was 19 at the time.
Now 18, Maddie celebrated making it through her teenage years without getting pregnant in a TikTok alongside her mother, posted on Friday, November 13.
In the clip, Maddie spins and dances with her hands in the air while her mother watches. As the song continues to play, Jamie Lynn puts her hands on her hips, then crosses her arms. Maddie shared the video with the text on it: “Dance if you beat high school pregnancy.”
Jamie Lynn recently reflected on how her pregnancy was received. “I’ve been called the biggest disappointment in the world,” she recalled to PEOPLE in June. “I was told my life was over. It was really, really hard not to believe those things.”
Jamie Lynn told PEOPLE she knew she had to put her daughter first.

“I wanted to make sure (she knew) that it wasn’t her fault that she had a 16-year-old and pregnant mother,” Jamie Lynn said. “So I wanted to make sure I did everything right. I think I was a bit of a helicopter parent.”
Jamie Lynn will marry Jamie Watson on March 14, 2014 and welcome their second daughter, Ivey, their first daughter together, on April 11, 2018.
