Lynne – mother of both Jamie Lynn and pop princess Britney Spears – believed her daughter was playing a prank on her when she said she was going to have a baby.
She told US TV programme The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet: “I thought she was joking when she first told me. I was looking at her face trying to wait for the punch line; wait for her to smile or joke.
“She wanted the baby from the beginning.”
Lynne – who recently released a book documenting the lives of her showbiz daughters, Through the Storm – also confirmed Zoey 101 star Jamie is still with her fiance and the baby’s father Casey Aldridge, despite rumours they had split.
Lynne – who labelled herself as her daughters’ “cheerleader” and not a pushy parent – added: “She and the baby’s father are on. You can’t believe the media. I don’t know why they do that.”
Earlier this week, Jamie Lynn, 17, was rumoured to be pregnant with her second child, but a spokesperson for the star denied the claim. She gave birth to daughter Maddie Briann in June.
