By Movieguide® Contributor
Jamie Lynn Spears is celebrating her “Jesus year” birthday.
“33?the Jesus year,” the actress wrote on Instagram, “so, I guess I better start it off by saying THANK YOU JESUS for this life I get to live, and all the wonderful people I get to share it with. I don’t take a second of it for granted, not even one.”
Spears continued, “Today, I felt so much love from everyone at work, as well as from all of the lovely humans who sent their love to me. I haven’t gotten the chance to respond to everyone, but I hope y’all know how much I appreciate each of you. thanks sooooo much for all the birthday love today- I love y’all right back.”
In addition to her birthday, Spears also recently celebrated her 10-year anniversary with husband Jamie Watson.
“10 years of marriage is something to [be] proud of……like, that’s a long time to tolerate someone’s bs,” she joked on Instagram. “Yay, us!”
The SWEET MAGNOLIAS star is mom to two daughters—Maddie, 16, and Ivey, 6.
“I know motherhood is one of the hardest job at times, and how the mother/child relationships can be really complicated as well,” she wrote in a Mother’s Day post. “I really try to not take any of it for granted though, even when the kids or my mom are making me lose my mind.”
Spears has been open about the challenges she faced while pregnant with Maddie when she was 16 years old. Movieguide® previously reported:
Jamie Lynn Spears gave a deeply personal interview on GMA ahead of the release of her memoir Things I Should Have Said. She opened up about her relationship with her sister, Britney, her controversial teen pregnancy, and how a near-fatal ATV accident brought her closer to God.
Much of Jamie Lynn’s testimony begins when the starlet announced she was pregnant at 16. Up until the pregnancy, Jamie Lynn was considered to be the “perfect little sister,” to support Britney.
With the bombshell announcement, many of Jamie Lynn’s family members pressured her to make the “issue,” aka her unborn baby, go away.
“I think that the easy thing for possibly then would have been like, ‘Let’s just get this over with and like you go back to being the perfect little sister, because that’s your role,’” she said.
“I just, like, thank God…I stood up for myself and said exactly what I wanted,” Spears continued.
Her daughter Maddie was born in 2008, and Spears left behind her Hollywood life to raise her child. Her second daughter, Ivey, was born in 2018.
