Maddie Aldridge

In 2007, Jamie Lynn became pregnant at 16 with her first child, daughter Maddie, whom she shares with former fiancé Casey Aldridge. After giving birth in 2008, the teenage Nickelodeon star left her Hollywood career behind to raise Maddie near her family’s home in Kentwood, Louisiana.

Maddie has grown into a stunning teenager who is now taller than her mom. She’s a stellar junior high school student and talented athlete. Jamie Lynn shared a photo standing next to Maddie following a May 4, 2022, honors ceremony at her school.

“Sorry, but I have to do a quick proud parent post for my 4 sport athlete who also kept a 4.0 GPA all year. So proud of her work ethic as an athlete and as a student,” Jamie Lynn wrote in the caption, adding, :”I wore my tall platform Ugg’s, and she was still taller than me.”

Maddie suffered a near-fatal ATV accident in 2017 when riding an off-road vehicle at stepdad Jamie’s parents’ property. She somehow drove into a pond where the ATV became submerged with Maddie strapped into it.

We dove in and we were able to rescue her,” Jamie Lynn revealed in a May 2020 interview on Better Together with Maria Menounos. “When we were finally able to get her out of the water … and the first responders took from me, we thought she was gone. We thought we lost our daughter.” She added, “”I’ve faced my worst fear now. What else can I mess up or do wrong that will be as horrible as that? Nothing. There’s nothing. God gave me the blessing of giving me my daughter back. I lost her and I got her back.”

As of May 2023, Maddie’s Instagram account lists her last name as Watson, seemingly indicating that she finally took her stepfather’s last name.

Ivey Joan Watson

Ivey was born four years after Jamie Lynn and husband Jamie Watson married in 2014. The adorable little girl celebrated her fourth birthday on April 11, 2022. Next to an adorable Instagram photo of her in a pink dress with red floral prints on it, her mom wrote in the caption, “HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY IVEY. I could go on and on about all the many ways you have made our lives so much better, but I’ll save that for when you can actually read. We love you baby girl, and I’m so thankful that God chose me to be your momma.”

Maddie and Ivey both made cameos in Jamie Lynn’s July 2023 Zoey 101 reboot movie, Zoey 102.

“Having my two girls be a part of this film and get to make their little debut cameo, if you will, it was so special because they got to do it together,” the mom of two said in an interview. “And also, my daughter’s friend got to do it with her, who’s like another child to me.”
