The heart has its own compass, and for Jamie Lynn Spears and Jamie Watson, their 9-year age difference is just part of the journey — and they’re totally cool with it. In fact, Spears even likes to joke about it sometimes (especially since she’s the younger one in the relationship).
On May 18, 2020, Spears took to Instagram to wish her hubby a happy birthday and slide in a little playful dig at the same time. “Gotta interrupt the #SWEETMAGNOLIAS countdown to tell my husband HAPPY BIRTHDAY Thanks for all the annoying crap you do for us.. we love you no matter how old you are,” she penned in the celebratory post, along with several photos of Watson and their family together.
Still, Spears is quick to credit their age difference. In a more sentimental Instagram post, Jamie Lynn pondered over Watson’s ability to give her a consistency in life she had never known before meeting him. “Maybe it was just because he was 10 years older, and had already established a successful life for himself both personally and professionally, but nonetheless, I felt a sense of peace with him, and I think that’s what being in love is suppose to feel like, just feeling at peace,” she admitted.
