Who is Jamie Lynn Spears' husband Jamie Watson?
Uninterested in the spotlight, Jamie described himself as a "normal guy with a normal job," during the 2016 TLC special, Jamie Lynn Spears: When the Lights Go Out. "I did not know about the family," he added. "I didn't know she had a TV show. I didn't know anything about her."

How did Jamie Lynn Spears meet her husband Jamie Watson?
Last year, Jamie Lynn penned the sweetest message to mark her eight-year wedding anniversary with Jamie. Revealing that she met her husband when she was 18, the Sweet Magnolias actress recalled feeling "a sense of peace" when they started dating.
Beneath a carousel of snaps from their 2014 wedding, Jamie Lynn wrote: "I was an 18 year old single mom, when this guy came into my life, he made me laugh more then I ever had before, and his never changing consistency gave me stability for the first time in my life.

She added: "Who knows though, I am definitely not an expert, but I do feel lucky to have found that with my husband, even on the days I hate him. Happy 8 years of marriage to us, also we still need to go on our honeymoon."
