Britney’s ex-husband, Kevin Federline, even expressed his support for Jamie Lynn, although it remains uncertain if he voted for her. Kevin and Britney share two children together.
Rehearsing from Home
Sources close to the production disclosed that Jamie Lynn was able to rehearse at a studio near her home in Tennessee before the show began, allowing her to juggle her dancing commitments with her role as a mother to her two children.
