Casey Aldridge's uncle says his nephew should accept responsibility for Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy. In an interview with People magazine from his office at the Galilee Baptist Church in Gloster, Pastor Odus Jackson said: I'd like to tell Casey that he may not like it, but it's time for him to put on the man shoes."
Jackson also revealed that he's trying to reach out to his nephew, who is planning to be in Tennessee with his parents for Christmas. Jackson would not confirm exactly where 18-year-old Aldridge is, but a source close to the family tells said that he is not in Louisiana or Mississippi.
"I don't want to get in their family business, and I don't think they want me in their family business," Jackson says, "but there's going to be a baby involved, and [Casey] has responsibilities."
Jackson insists that it is not up to him to say if Aldridge and Spears should get married. "There are a lot of things that are in the way [and] that will make it tough to last," he says.
16-year-old 'Zoey 101 star Spears has been dating Casey for at least two years, according to Jackson. She was with the Aldridge family on Thanksgiving when she and Casey went hunting. She was also with her boyfriend at the last two Aldridge family New Year's Eve parties. "I don't think she'll be with us this year," Odus adds, referring to all of the media attention that is now focused on the family.
Jackson says he and the Aldridges have been inundated with calls from media outlets since Spears and her mother Lynne went public with the pregnancy earlier this week.
"We don't have anything to hide," Jackson says about his decision to talk about his nephew and his famous girlfriend. "We've all done things in our lives we're ashamed of, things people never know about. But if this wasn't the Spears family – a famous family – no one would be making this kind of deal about it."
