Jamie Lynn Spears Is Pregnant with Baby #2

On Sunday, Spears announced that she was expecting her first child with husband Jamie Watson. She wrote on Instagram, "Looks like we are starting off 2018 with another big milestone…sooo happy to announce that Maddie is FINALLY going to be a big sister. 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 added, “During that time, I continued working on my music and telling my story, which has created some of my most honest work and I [CAN'T] wait to share that with you all very soon. 2018 is going to be filled with many milestones both personally and professionally.”

The news comes nearly a year after Maddie, 9, nearly lost her life in an ATV accident.

A week ago, Jamie brought attention to Maddie, her daughter with ex-fiance Casey Aldridge, saying, "Some milestones we never see coming, but I'm so blessed that I­t­ did. Maddie is the biggest blessing in my life so far ❤️ #12DaysofJLS."
