Jamie Lynn Spears Opens Up About Her Bond With Britney: “We Just Fight Better Than Most”
In a revealing conversation on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Jamie Lynn Spears gave viewers an intimate glimpse into the nuances of her relationship with older sister and pop icon Britney Spears. Known for their very public family tensions, Jamie Lynn shared that behind closed doors, she and Britney have always shared an unbreakable sisterly connection—no matter how ugly their disagreements may have seemed to outsiders.
“Yeah, I love her. Me and her throw down. The world’s seen that,” Jamie Lynn reflected. “I’ve learned to stop talking about it publicly, but you know what, family’s fight. Listen, we just do it better than most.”
According to Jamie Lynn, growing up in the spotlight came with complexities that she and Britney “both had to deal with in different ways.” While tensions occasionally boiled over into the public eye, Jamie Lynn emphasizes that she has always been Britney’s rock: “I’ve been the one person in her life who’s always said, ‘I just want to be your sister.’”
Now a mother of two young daughters herself, 32-year-old Jamie Lynn says maturity has given her a new perspective on her bond with Britney, 41. “Sometimes we took it out on each other when perhaps we shouldn’t have,” she admits. Still, Jamie Lynn insists that no matter their disputes, “I’ve never, ever… I’ve been the one person in her life—and she can say this—I’ve never taken anything from her.”
Rather than dredging up the past, Jamie Lynn seems ready to move forward. She even imagines that fiercely protective Britney is keeping tabs on her Down Under journey: “I can imagine she’d be worried about me here. I think she’s probably checking in on me heavily.”
One thing’s for certain: complex relationships run deep in the Spears family. But despite their headline-making squabbles, Jamie Lynn will always cherish her connection to big sister Britney. “You know what, family’s fight,” she says simply. “Listen, we just do it better than most.”
