Weeks Before Her Pregnancy, Jamie Lynn Spears Said She Did Not Have a Serious Boyfriend

But in an interview with Associated Press interview shortly before Thanksgiving, the 16-year-old said she did not have a serious boyfriend.

"I kind of just keep my options open," she said. "I have a bunch of friends that I always hang out with, a bunch of guy friends."

(In the same interview, Jamie Lynn — who said she eventually wants to study at Louisiana State University — added that she had no plans to follow in Britney's footsteps and move to L.A. "No! Never will," she said, laughing, when asked if she'd ever leave her Kentwood, Lousiana, home. "It's, you know, it's my friends," she says. "It's where I grew up. I want to stay here.")

Meanwhile, Aldridge's mother, Joyce, spoke to TMZ.com about the pregnancy, saying she did not mind that Jamie Lynn made her pregnancy public.

"We are in agreement with everything that was said by Jamie Lynn about the situation ... everything is fine. ... Casey will address all of this when it is time."
