Everyone’s favorite boarding schoolers are coming back together for an epic Pacific Coast Academy reunion. Yup, the new movie, Zoey 102, has finally arrived on Paramount+, and fans who have been dying to know what happened to Zoey after the original series ended will finally get their answer.

The movie brings back some of the original cast (who are now in their thirties) from the 2005 show. So, if this news has you reaching for your crimper or investing in an inflatable living room set...you’re not alone!

At the center of all the nostalgia is the one and only Jamie Lynn Spears, who is finally back in the spotlight after years in the shadows. Everyone will get to see Jamie Lynn, er, Zoey, reunite with her friends, who are all *very* grown up now. In fact, Zoey 102 picks up at the wedding of high school sweethearts Logan Reese (Matthew Underwood) and Quinn Pensky (Erin Sanders), so it should definitely have you in your feels!

Here’s everything Jamie has been up to since Zoey 101 ended, and everything to know about her life now:

Is Jamie Lynn Spears married?

Yes! Jamie Lynn and her husband, Jamie Watson, celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary in March. After a mutual friend introduced Jamie and Jamie Lynn, the couple started dating and got engaged in 2013. In 2014, they hosted their wedding in New Orleans, per People.

“I was an 18-year-old single mom, when this guy came into my life, he made me laugh more than I ever had before, and his never changing consistency gave me stability for the first time in my life,” Jamie Lynn shared in an Instagram post celebrating the couple's eighth anniversary. “I felt a sense of peace with him, and I think that's what being in love is suppose to feel like, just feeling at peace.”

How many kids does she have?

Jamie Lynn is mom to two girls: Maddie and Ivey. Her eldest daughter, Maddie Briann Aldridge, was born in June 2008 when Jamie Lynn was just 17 years old, per Pop Sugar. Jamie Lynn shares Maddie with her high school sweetheart, Casey Aldridge, who apparently picked out Maddie's name himself.

After announcing her pregnancy, Jamie Lynn stepped away from her Nickelodeon career. She moved to rural Mississippi to raise her daughter and was barely seen in public until a few years ago. Maddie, who is now a 15-year-old high schooler, plays softball and appeared on TV alongside her mom in 2018 on Double Dare, per People.

Jamie Lynn gave birth to her second child, Ivey, in April 2018. She shares Ivey with her husband, Jamie. Like her older sis, Ivey also plays softball and is quite a dancer!

How old is Jamie Lynn Spears?

Jamie Lynn is an Aries queen. She turned 32 on April 4. That means that it's literally been 16 years since her time on Zoey 101.

Has she been in any other shows or movies?

She has! While Jamie Lynn did her best to stay out of the public eye for a while following the birth of her first daughter, she recently started acting again. In 2020, she starred in the Netflix show Sweet Magnolias as a nurse named Noreen Fitzgibbons.

In 2019, when news about her TV return was announced, Jamie Lynn tweeted, "Mama’s going back to work y’all. Can’t wait for y’all to meet 'Noreen'!! I fell in love with this story, and so excited I get to be a part of telling it #SweetMagnolias."

What is she doing now?

While Jamie Lynn seems fully focused on her new movie at the moment, she’s been quite busy in the last few years. In fact, she published a book in 2022 called "Things I Should Have Said," where the actress shared her reflections on child acting and her sister’s conservatorship battle. She eventually appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast to give a big interview about the book.

Back in the 2010s, Jamie Lynn also tried to get a big music career going. She released some EPs in 2013 and 2014 with songs like "How Could I Want More" and "Shotgun Wedding." But it seems like her music career is on the backburner for now.

What’s her net worth?

Jamie Lynn’s net worth is not super clear, but CelebrityNetWorth says that it hits around $6 million these days. During an episode of Hannah Brown’s “Better Tomorrow” podcast, the former child star explained she spent very little money after she became pregnant with Maddie.

“I moved to Mississippi in the middle of nowhere,” she said. “I didn’t have a cell phone, I had a house phone. I was like, ‘No one call me,’ [and] I put myself on a budget.”

Can’t wait to watch this movie!
