baby mother

Mother of child

Baby mother (also baby mama) is the mother of a man's child, where the parents are not married and typically no longer in a romantic relationship.

The term originated in Caribbean English and spread through hip-hop culture: He's got three kids by two different baby mothers.

It can carry connotations of complicated family arrangements or drama, though it's also used neutrally.
