'''Jamie Lynn Marie Spears''' (born April 4, 1991)<ref name="Biography.com" /> is an American actress and singer. Spears began her career as a child actress on ''[[All That]]'' and had her breakthrough role when she played [[Zoey Brooks]] on the [[Nickelodeon]] teen sitcom ''[[Zoey 101]]'' (2005–2008);<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hiramine |first=Brie |date=2016-06-28 |title="Zoey 101" Reunion: Jamie Lynn Spears Has Not Discussed It Yet |url=https://www.j-14.com/posts/zoey-101-reunion-jamie-lynn-spears-has-not-discussed-it-yet-106482/ |access-date=2023-12-16 |website=J-14 |language=en-US}}</ref> she later reprised this role in the sequel film ''[[Zoey 102]]'' (2023).

She is the recipient of several accolades, including a [[Gracie Awards|Gracie Award]], two [[Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards|Kids Choice Awards]] and two [[Young Artist Award]]s. She is the younger sister of singer [[Britney Spears]].

Beginning in December 2007, Spears was subject to significant media attention and controversy after announcing her pregnancy at age 16. A misconception emerged that this canceled ''Zoey 101''; however, the [[Zoey 101 (season 4)|final season]] wrapped filming in September 2007 and premiered the following year. After giving birth in 2008, Spears stopped acting for five years.<ref>{{cite web|author=Starr Bowenback|url=https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a34415829/jamie-lynn-spears-why-zoey-101-end-pregnancy|title=Jamie Lynn Spears Says 'Zoey 101' Didn't End Because She Was Pregnant|work=Cosmopolitan|date=October 19, 2020|access-date=July 27, 2021|archive-date=July 28, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210728000921/https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a34415829/jamie-lynn-spears-why-zoey-101-end-pregnancy/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Spears returned from her hiatus in 2013 and began her music career. She released her debut single "[[How Could I Want More]]" from her debut [[extended play|EP]] in [[country music]], ''[[The Journey (Jamie Lynn Spears EP)|The Journey]]'' (2014). Spears also co-wrote [[Jana Kramer]]'s [[RIAA certification|platinum certified]] 2015 single, "[[I Got the Boy]]".<ref name=JLS2015>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/jamie-lynn-spears-on-sharing-her-boy-with-jana-kramer-20150424|title=Jamie Lynn Spears on Sharing Her 'Boy' With Jana Kramer |magazine=Rolling Stone|author=Deborah Evans Price|date=April 24, 2015|access-date=September 3, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150908105127/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/jamie-lynn-spears-on-sharing-her-boy-with-jana-kramer-20150424|archive-date=September 8, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2020, Spears explained the situation further. She elaborated that she and her husband Jamie Watson "[...] dove in and [...] were able to rescue her," then the first responder took her away. The firefighter was able to get a pulse, but her case looked "grim at the time", leading to her being airlifted to the hospital.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Chung |first=Gabrielle |date=May 4, 2020 |title=Jamie Lynn Spears Tears Up as She Shares Heartbreaking Details About Daughter Maddie's ATV Accident |url=https://people.com/parents/jamie-lynn-spears-tears-up-details-daughter-maddie-atv-accident/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210727223421/https://people.com/parents/jamie-lynn-spears-tears-up-details-daughter-maddie-atv-accident/ |archive-date=July 27, 2021 |access-date=July 27, 2021 |publisher=People (magazine)}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Nelson |first1=Jeff |last2=Leonard |first2=Elizabeth |title=Jamie Lynn Spears' Daughter Recovers from Near Drowning |url=http://ew.com/news/2017/02/07/jamie-lynn-spears-daughter-recovers-near-drowning/ |url-status=live |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |language=en |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190416014820/https://ew.com/news/2017/02/07/jamie-lynn-spears-daughter-recovers-near-drowning/ |archive-date=April 16, 2019 |access-date=November 21, 2019}}</ref>

=== Feud with Britney Spears ===
In 2021, Jamie Lynn and her sister Britney were involved in a highly publicized feud via social media. Britney publicly accused Jamie Lynn of actively and knowingly being involved in her conservatorship, while not making any efforts to help her terminate it. Jamie Lynn denied the allegations and maintained that she was unaware of the details of the conservatorship. Britney threatened legal action against Jamie Lynn after the latter spoke extensively about Britney in both her book and the following promotional tour.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Britney Spears accuses father of financial misconduct; threatens sister with legal action|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jan/19/britney-spears-accuses-father-of-financial-misconduct-threatens-sister-with-legal-action|url-status=live|website=[[The Guardian]]|date=January 19, 2022 |access-date=January 21, 2022|archive-date=January 21, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220121051438/https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jan/19/britney-spears-accuses-father-of-financial-misconduct-threatens-sister-with-legal-action}}</ref>
