Aw, this picture was taken back when they were all cute and innocent.

As Britney Spears gathered with loved ones to celebrate the birthdays of her sons Sean, 3, and Jayden, 2, on September 13, one person was conspicuously absent—her younger sister’s fiancé, Casey Aldridge.

Britney’s younger sister, Jamie Lynn, 17, had traveled from Louisiana with her new baby Maddie for the event, which took place at the Beverly Hills home of Adrienne Maloof-Nassif. “Britney had really been looking forward to Jamie Lynn coming with Maddie, but definitely did not want Casey there,” a friend tells In Touch.

Casey, 19, had cheated on Jamie Lynn while she was pregnant. But the friend says that Britney had problems with Casey long before the revelation. “Britney just does not like him and everyone knows that. She thinks that Casey is using Jamie Lynn for her money.”

Though Jamie Lynn is still trying to make her relationship work, the friend says that she did welcome the break: “It was a good time for her to get away from him and spend time with her family around her.”
