Britney Spears' cousin has confirmed the singer's pregnant sister Jamie Lynn will wed her boyfriend Casey Aldridge.
Tina Robinson claims Aldridge, the father of the 16-year-old's unborn child, proposed to Jamie Lynn "a few days ago".
Reports the 'Zoey 101' star and Aldridge, 18, are engaged to be married surfaced earlier this week when Jamie Lynn was spotted showing off a diamond ring to friends and family in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, and to relatives in Mississippi.

David Beckham has no intention of saying goodbye to England after reaching 100 appearances.
The Los Angeles Galaxy star, who reached the milestone Wednesday night, maintains the wave he gave when he walked off during England's 1-0 loss to France was just an acknowledgment of the standing ovation that even the French fans gave him.
"I don't know where the rumours came from but they weren't from me," Beckham said. "It is 100 not out as far as I am concerned. The wave at the end was not a goodbye, just a thank you.
"The reception when I came off from both sets of fans was amazing. You obviously expect it off your own fans and I thank them for that but from the French people as well, it was an amazing standing ovation."
Although Beckham didn't even have a shot on goal and collected a yellow card for a foul on French goalscorer Franck Ribery, he was satisfied with his performance.
"The most important thing for me was to prove my fitness and I felt that I did that. I felt very fresh and a lot better than I thought I would," he said after playing 62 minutes at the Stade de France.
"As much as you work hard in pre-season, there is nothing better than playing in games and I enjoyed it."
Even though he had been replaced, Beckham was the last England player to walk off the field. At the end of the game, he walked back on, hugged France defender William Gallas, and had a long talk with the Arsenal player before again waving and applauding the fans.
"If there was another place I would have liked the game after Wembley, it would have been in Paris because it is where (Zinedine) Zidane played," he said in reference to his former Real Madrid teammate. Zidane scored two goals in the 1998 World Cup final at the same stadium where France beat Brazil 3-0.
"It is also one of my most favorite cities and I have a house in the South of France."
Beckham, who turns 33 in May, believes he will still be fit enough to play at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, assuming England qualifies.
"I want it to carry on," he said. "It doesn't stop here for me."
"I still feel I can perform at the highest level. The 2010 World Cup remains an ambition for me. I am quite a stubborn person so it is something I want to reach. I'd love to be part of the squad in 2010."
Although the loss was greeted by scathing criticism in the English media on Thursday, Capello was satisfied with the performance.
"As I told the players I am very happy with what they did because we made progress compared with the Switzerland game," he said, referring to England's 2-1 victory over the Swiss at Wembley last month.
"I am happy because I saw some very good things, especially because we played against a top level team and we showed our value. I am happy because I made the team play two different ways and I could see many players. Therefore my ideas are a lot clearer for the future."
Capello was also pleased with Beckham.
"He played like I know he can play," said Capello, who has only friendlies between now and qualifying for the 2010 World Cup because England failed to reach this summer's European championship.
"I only substituted him because I know how he can play and I wanted to see other players."
Beckham, who was overlooked by Capello for the Switzerland game because the Italian didn't consider him fit enough during Major League Soccer's off-season, called on the England fans to be patient with the new manager while he tries new formations, tactics and selections.
"As soon as a new manager comes in, there is always a period when it takes time to get going," Beckham said. "But he was pleased with the fact we passed the ball around well and in the first half kept a lot of possession.
"But if you don't score in that time, teams like France are always going to capitalize on it. And they did."

One of the stars of televisions 'Grey's Anatomy', Justin Chambers, has explained why he was admitted to a psych ward earlier this year, revealing that he suffered "a biological sleep disorder".
The 37-year-old father of five checked into UCLA's Resnick Neuropsychatric Hospital in late January, with his publicist stating at the time that he went in voluntarily due to exhaustion.
In an interview with People magazine this week, Chambers explains his condition, saying, "Your body is tired but your mind keeps racing," adding that he would only sleep for "maybe an hour" each week.
However, the actor says that following his stay in hospital he's doing well and is now maintaining a regular sleep pattern.
"I'm fine," he says. "I get six or seven hours of sleep a night."

Leona Lewis has topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US with her single 'Bleeding Love'.
The singer, who was discovered on 2006's 'X Factor', is the first British woman to top the chart for over 20 years.
In 1987, Kim Wilde's cover of The Supremes' 'You Keep Me Hanging On' reached Number One.
Lewis' chart success has been partly attributed to her and Simon Cowell's appearance on Oprah Winfrey's chat show last week.
'Bleeding Love' was the UK's biggest selling song in 2007, despite being released near the year's end.

Trace Adkins has a real test on his hands tonight as he squares off against "America's Got Talent" judge Piers Morgan in the finale of the NBC series "The Celebrity Apprentice."
Trace has frequently said that he had no strategy for winning "Apprentice" because he figured he would be fired in the boardroom in the first four or five episodes. That ended up being a positive approach in a contest filled with Type-A personalities.
"I think [Type A's are] what we classically think are the people that win in life," fellow contestant Nely Galan reflects. "He says he had no strategy, but his strategy was really very analytical: lay back, take it slow, get under the radar for a while, and then come in for the kill."
"A lot of the other guys had that Type-A personality," Marilu Henner adds, "and they were sucking up all the oxygen in the room. There was like no air to breathe, and there was Trace in the corner, playing his guitar, creating his own oxygen."
And perhaps creating a path to a $250,000 prize. The winner of tonight's episode will win a quarter-million dollars for his charity of choice. Trace will provide an additional way for viewers to contribute to his charity, the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network. He's scheduled to perform his current single, "You're Gonna Miss This," on the show, and a download will be available immediately after the performance with the proceeds slated for FAAN.

Thomas Beatie, a woman who changed her sex and now calls herself a man, is five months pregnant with a baby girl.
The Oregon resident said in an article of "The Advocate", a national magazine for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender readers, that he went through a sex change but reconstructed only his chest and had testosterone therapy. He kept his female reproductive organs and became pregnant through artificial insemination.
Thomas and his wife Nancy decided to have a baby, but when the latter went through a hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis 20 years ago, they came up with the idea that Thomas should carry their child.
"I stopped taking my bimonthly testosterone injections. It had been roughly eight years since I had my last menstrual cycle, so this wasn’t a decision that I took lightly," Beatie said in the article.
"My body regulated itself after about four months, and I didn’t have to take any exogenous estrogen, progesterone, or fertility drugs to aid my pregnancy," he added.
Beatie labeled as "incredible" the experience of carrying the pregnancy for his wife. And it’s not a first for him. Beatie is now at his second pregnancy after he went through an ectopic pregnancy with triplets.
He described his first pregnancy as a “life-threatening event” because it required surgical intervention. Beatie lost all his embryos and his right fallopian tube in the intervention.
He acknowledged the fact that he and his wife are facing the anger of some people who feel offended by their decision. Among those feeling offended by this were doctors, health care professionals, receptionalists, friends and family.
Asked about his identity regarding the fact that his stomach is now growing, Beatie said that he "constantly" remained a man.
"I am so lucky to have such a loving, supportive wife. I will be my daughter’s father, and Nancy will be her mother. We will be a family," he said.

The Los Angeles Times apologized for using documents that were apparently fabricated in a story implicating associates of Sean "Diddy" Combs in a 1994 assault on rapper Tupac Shakur.
"The bottom line is that the documents we relied on should not have been used," Editor Russ Stanton said in a story posted Wednesday night on the newspaper's Web site. "We apologize both to our readers and to those referenced in the documents ... and in the story."
Pulitzer-prize winning reporter Chuck Philips, who wrote the story, and his supervisor, Deputy Managing Editor Marc Duvoisin, also apologized.
The apologies followed an investigation launched by Stanton after The Smoking Gun Web site reported earlier in the day that the paper was conned by a prisoner who doctored the documents.
Combs denied that he had any prior knowledge of or involvement in the robbery and shooting of Shakur at a New York recording studio. He and other subjects of the story claimed they had been defamed by the newspaper.
The Smoking Gun said the documents seemed phony because they appeared to be written on a typewriter instead of a computer and included blacked-out sections not typically found in such documents, among other problems.
The Web site claimed the documents were fabricated by a prison inmate with a history of exaggerating his place in the rap music world.
The Times said its March 17 story was based on FBI records, interviews with people at the scene of the 1994 shooting, and statements to the FBI by an informant.
None of the sources was named.
Philips said Wednesday that a former FBI agent examined the documents in question for him and said they appeared to be legitimate.
But Philips said he wished he had done more to investigate their authenticity.
"I now believe the truth here is I got duped," he said.
Marc Lichtman, an attorney representing rap manager James Rosemond, one of two men the story linked to the Shakur attack, had earlier demanded an apology.
"I would suggest to Mr. Philips and his editors that they immediately print an apology and take out their checkbooks — or brace themselves for an epic lawsuit," Lichtman said Wednesday.
The shooting triggered a feud between East and West Coast rappers that led to the killings of Shakur and Notorious B.I.G.
The story said associates hoping to curry favor with Combs — who was overseeing B.I.G.'s white-hot career at the time — lured Shakur to the studio because of his disrespect toward them.
The story and related features on latimes.com attracted nearly 1 million hits — more viewers than any other story on latimes.com this year, the newspaper said.

The knife thrower — formerly the surf goddess, the porn star's girlfriend, the wise innocent, the new Lois Lane, and, most recently, the blackjack geek — wanders into her trailer, a little beleaguered, frowning. She is wearing an absurdly elaborate blood-orange dress, her face partially hidden by a fiery red wig piled high on top of her head. She is mostly interested in locating lunch.
But for the moment, she is surrounded by an assortment of people from the set, a little distracted, unfocused. It's the last time she'll seem that way. In one motion, she cocks her head to the side and then, from inside the flurry of people around her, crosses her eyes and sticks her tongue out. "Here she is, the deranged wench!" she says. "I can see it now, 'Kate Bosworth, deranged wench, walks into the trailer...'"
"Oh, God," she says. "I look like a ridiculously ornamented cupcake! And the character, she usually looks like a badass! She's usually in chaps — she's a knife thrower, this is a disguise for a scene. Now I come in looking like a cupcake, like a deranged wench. What a disappointment for you."
