00:00 There's nothing but love there for me in all areas.

00:02 - Jamie Lynn Spears is opening up

00:04 about her current relationship with her sister,

00:07 Britney Spears.

00:08 Following long time ups and downs,

00:10 including a public feud amid the Free Britney movement,

00:13 the 32-year-old actress opened up to Variety

00:16 in a new interview about how she and her sister

00:19 are doing now.

00:20 - Your sister now has said that she visited you on a set.

00:23 Where are you now with your sister?

00:25 - I mean, I have nothing but absolute love

00:28 for every single one of my family members.

00:30 And I think if I learned anything from last year,

00:33 being so open and being so personal,

00:35 and feeling like I had to defend myself at times,

00:39 that I do want to just focus on maybe,

00:44 you know, what it is that I've done and said

00:50 is already out there.

00:51 I don't feel like there's anything else that I need to say

00:53 in any personal aspects.

00:54 I just have to leave it where it is

00:57 because those conversations are meant to be personal.

01:00 And all I can focus on now is really what I'm doing

01:05 with my girls, my husband,

01:08 and obviously the work that I'm doing now.

01:12 But I just, I think there's nothing but love there for me,

01:15 in all areas.

01:16 - Jamie Lynn went on to share how difficult

01:18 the past year has been when it comes to her older sister,

01:21 shedding tears over how she dealt with it

01:23 around her two daughters,

01:24 15-year-old Maddie and five-year-old Ivy.

01:27 - How do you keep that head on your shoulders like that?

01:30 'Cause like you said, the last year was tough.

01:33 I don't even want to say like, I could only imagine.

01:35 - It makes me sad.

01:36 - 'Cause I can't imagine it.

01:38 You know, I'm not, that's not my world.

01:40 - Yeah, it was, I don't want my daughter to feel that way.

01:44 So I have to say, absolutely not.

01:47 Will I allow my children, especially my oldest daughter,

01:52 who was very affected by all of it,

01:54 I will not back down.

01:56 I will not allow her to feel this way in her life.

01:59 So it's not a strength for me,

02:00 it's a strength out of the love for my children.

02:02 And wanting to make sure that I do not give way

02:07 to anything but what I know to be authentic and true,

02:12 even if it's hard on those days.

02:15 I can just remember, like, it just was, it was hard.

02:20 But I feel like at the end of the day,

02:23 look where I am now, you know?

02:25 And that's, it just makes me sad when I think about my kids.

02:27 Like, I don't ever want them to feel the pain

02:29 or the scrutiny that is not necessary

02:32 and it's not theirs to carry.

02:33 So I'll carry it, that's fine.

02:35 - How do you explain it to your kids?

02:39 - I explain it, well, my five-year-old doesn't care.

02:41 - She's five.

02:44 - And my 14-year-old, I think that every young girl

02:47 and every young person in this world on some level

02:49 deals with the way social media is.

02:52 I mean, like, we all on some level are dealing

02:54 with a public identity of who we are.

02:58 And I think you gotta protect that.

03:01 - How do you protect it with your daughter?

03:03 - Well, she doesn't have any social media.

03:05 But she does play sports.

03:07 Like, I have a social media page

03:08 where I'll post her softball videos and stuff like that.

03:11 But I think it's so important that I guard her

03:13 creating her identity without any outside noise.

03:15 And explaining to her that, you know, we do,

03:18 we are in a unique situation where people are fascinated

03:21 by the family that I grew up in.

03:23 But you don't have to do that.

03:26 You can be who you are exactly who you wanna be

03:29 without the outside noise.

03:30 And I promise you, you'll thank me for it one day.

03:32 And I just, I think that that's the only way

03:36 I know how to do it.

03:37 Because I know the pain I've felt.

03:38 And even though she might be mad at me

03:40 because I won't let her have anything.

03:42 But I know that that's, that I'm protecting her.

03:45 It's like the necessary evil.

03:46 You just have to do it if I'm going to give her the chance

03:51 to create her own independent thoughts

03:54 of who she should be and what feels right to her,

03:56 not what someone says or she saw.

03:58 - The Sweet Magnolias actress then explained

04:00 what she says to her girls if people around them

04:03 bring up their famous aunt.

04:05 - What do you say to her when she comes home and says,

04:07 "Some kid at school told me

04:08 "that my aunt is Britney Spears."

04:10 - I say, "Wow, you should be so proud.

04:13 "Like, look at what your family's done and accomplished.

04:15 "We came from a small town and now everybody's fascinated

04:18 "by the good end, especially the bad.

04:21 "But wow, look at what an example

04:22 "of a strong female you have."

04:24 And I admire it and I know that that's all I say.

04:29 It's like, that is noise.

04:30 Like, you have something to be proud of

04:32 and you should have pride in that.

04:35 And kids are kids, so I'm sure there's a lot meaner things

04:39 that they're doing to each other in high school.

04:42 - Jamie Lynn shared with the mag

04:43 that she always wanted to be in front of the camera

04:46 and clarified whether that motivation

04:48 came from seeing Britney on TV

04:50 before revealing if she could ever see herself up on stage

04:53 alongside her big sis.

04:56 - I just feel like I don't ever remember a time

04:57 where I didn't wanna do it.

04:59 And I'm sure seeing someone, everyone has an idol

05:02 and mine just happened to be kin to me.

05:04 So I just feel like, of course,

05:06 you're gonna be inspired by what you're around.

05:07 But I don't remember ever thinking about doing anything else.

05:11 - Could you imagine you and Britney

05:12 on stage performing together again?

05:14 - I mean, I don't know.

05:16 I mean, I think right now I'm really just focused on me

05:18 and what I'm doing and I feel like I've worked very hard

05:23 to be able to be a part of shows like "Sleep Magnolias"

05:28 and the whole cast and a real ensemble cast.

05:30 And then fighting hard to bring back a character

05:33 from my childhood, that is all I can think about right now

05:37 because my dreams are coming true again.

05:41 - Again. - Again.

05:41 - Again, yeah. - Like who gets to say that?

05:43 - Jamie Lynn has reprised her famous role

05:45 as Zoe Brooks from Nickelodeon's hit mid 2000 series,

05:49 "Zoe 101" in a new movie, "Zoe 102"

05:53 which is set to hit Paramount Plus on July 27th.

05:56 Access Hollywood reunited with the entire "Zoe 101" cast

06:00 back in 2020.

06:01 And at the time they shared their feelings on a reboot.

06:04 - We got the reunion, okay, we got it.

06:07 But now what about a reboot, a revival, a spinoff?

06:11 On the count of three, who would be down?

06:14 Who would be down?

06:15 One, two, three.

06:16 - I think we're all down.

06:19 - How awkward would it be if one of us

06:20 just didn't raise our hand?

06:22 - I was really hoping that would happen.

06:24 - Today has not been fun, so I'm gonna sit this one out.

06:27 No, the ultimate goal is to be able to have the reboot.

06:31 I think especially after this reunion,

06:33 the chemistry was still there, the vibes were all still good.

06:36 So I think that, I hate that I just said that,

06:38 but anyways, the vibes were good.

06:41 - I think that these characters were such a big part

06:46 of people's childhood and our fan base

06:49 is so connected to them that it's important for us

06:52 to make sure that we tell the story of where they are now

06:55 and connect to our fans again about where life is

06:58 and where our characters are.

07:00 And we have to do that justice.

07:01 So finding the right home and telling the right story

07:04 is equally as important as it happening.

07:07 So I think that takes a little bit of time

07:08 and obviously an added bonus time

07:10 with the pandemic and everything our world's going through

07:13 right now.
