Jamie Lynn called off the wedding claiming she doesn't need a ceremony or certificate of marriage to make her happy.

A source has said "The wedding’s off. They are still in love, living together and very happy, but they have no plans to get married. Jamie Lynn has everything she wants and feels no need for a ring and piece of paper."

The insider adds: "She's happy being a real hands-on Southern mother and hopes to continue that for years to come with Casey right by her side.

"Jamie Lynn knows she needs to make a living when she grows older, so she’s already discussing her career options with advisers. She wants Maddie to grow up in comfort."

Deciding against marriage may actually be a smart move on her behalf. She's the breadwinner in the relationship and she saw what Brit went through when it didn't work out between her and K-Fed.

With celebrities there’s often so much at stake, sometimes the Brangelina route is the best one to take.
