What does "baby mama" mean in relationship slang?
The term "baby mama" refers to the biological mother of someone's child, especially when the parents are not married or are no longer together romantically. The structure combines "baby" with "mama" to emphasize the shared child rather than the relationship itself. The phrase originated in African American Vernacular English and later became widely used in music, entertainment media, and online culture.
Examples
He spends the weekend with his baby mama and their daughter.
