Unfortunately for Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears, they famously feuded in front of the world. As a result, fans wondered things like if they would ever reconcile or if their children were still close. As fans focus on the future of the Spears sisters' relationship, it is fascinating to remember their history including how close they once were.

What Happened To Britney Spears And Jamie Lynn Spears?

Once considered to be one of the most popular young stars in the music business, Britney Spears' life changed a lot as time went on. Infamously placed under a conservatorship, Britney Spears had very little control over her own life. After many years of that, Britney Spears was finally able to free herself from that control.

Once Britney Spears was freed from her conservatorship, that sadly wasn't the end of drama in her life. Finally able to express herself fully, Britney Spears unleashed a lot of anger toward her parents.

Unfortunately, Britney Spears would also engage in a much-talked-about feud with her little sister Jamie Lynn Spears.

As of the time of this writing, the Spears sisters drama has pretty much calmed down. That said, it wouldn't shock many people if the drama bubbled up again given how vicious the sisters' feud has been in the past.

Why Did Jamie Lynn Spears Call Britney Spears Her "Second Mom"?

Thanks to all the drama that has surrounded the Spears family, there are random fans who feel like they understand the clan. In reality, however, the picture of the Spears family that has often been painted is just a snapshot of their reality.

Decades before the "Free Britney" movement took the internet by storm, the Spears family seemed to be fairly typical. However, even back then there was something about the Spears that made them different from most families.

Unlike most parents, Jamie Spears waited years after their first child was born to have another. According to Showbiz Cheatsheet, Britney Spears is almost ten years older than her little sister Jamie Lynn Spears.

Considering how significant their age gap is, Britney Spears and Jamie Lynne Spears didn't exactly grow up together. On top of that, there is another reason why Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears had a unique relationship.

With Britney Spears on the road so much of the time, it would have been easy for her to have no relationship with her little sister. However, based on Jamie Lynn Spears' past statements, she used to have an interesting relationship with her big sister.

In 2014, Jamie Lynn Spears was interviewed by Access Hollywood. During the resulting conversation, she spoke about the relationship she had with her world-famous big sister. Based on Jamie Lynn Spears' description, she seemed to have a lovely relationship with Britney Spears at that time.

"There's such a big age difference between me and my sister that I think [she] almost was like a second mom. She's so supportive and she's so encouraging of me and she's like my biggest fan... She's always had my back."

On top of revealing Britney Spears was like her second mom, Jamie Lynn Spears spoke about how she felt about her sister's success. As Jamie Lynn Spears explained to Access Hollywood in 2014, she believed her big sister had a lot to be proud of.

"I'm proud of my sister. She went after her dream from a small town and she's still doing what she loves, so there's something to be said about that and something to be really proud of. So I definitely look at that as, you know, it gives me motivation and really inspires me to keep going."

Given the fact that Jamie Lynn Spears' relationship with her sister would later go so wrong, it may be shocking to read her 2014 comments. In fact, it would be understandable if some observers believed Jamie Lynn Spears wasn't being genuine.

Of course, Jamie Lynn Spears' comments about her relationship with Britney Spears at that time could have been lies. The only person who can truly know the truth about her comments is Jamie Lynn Spears herself.

That said, there is a pretty compelling reason to at the very least give Jamie Lynn Spears' comments more credibility. As it turns out, Jamie Lynn Spears stated that Britney Spears was like a mother to her more than once.
