Jamie Lynn Spears and her fiancé Casey Aldridge just welcomed daughter Maddie Briann yesterday, but already there are rumors of a possible baby photo bidding war.A source told the National Ledger last week: "Casey wants to marry Jamie Lynn before the baby is born so he can have some control over the rights to the baby's first photos that will be sold. He wants to be in on any money deals that are made by Jamie Lynn and her mom."
According to reports, Spears' mother, Lynne, is working on brokering a deal for exclusive rights to the first pictures of the newborn. One entertainment blog has suggested the photos are worth at least seven figures.
Possible bidders have not been disclosed, but the former star of Nickelodeon's "Zoey 101" revealed her pregnancy to OK! magazine and confirmed the baby's birth to People.
Meanwhile, OK! has also officially announced that Spears did not have a C-section as previously reported, but rather gave birth naturally and had no complications. Maddie Briann weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. at her 9:33 a.m. birth on June 20.
Friends and family members of the 17-year-old have been given the new mom their congratulations and support
"She's awfully young to be a momma," said Margie Busby, a distant cousin of Spears. "But that's what they make [grandmothers] for. They have to help. That's the way it is with our circle of friends."
Relative Charlie Spears said he hoped Spears and Aldridge would be good parents.
"It's easy to have them, but hard to raise them," he said. "I hope she's healthy, and I hope they raise a good baby."
