What does "baby girl" mean?

“Babygirl” is a term that’s come to refer to an attractive man, and it’s picked up a lot of popularity, especially on platforms like TikTok. It’s often used to describe men who are seen as cute, sensitive, or somewhat vulnerable. However, people also use it humorously for men who don’t necessarily fit those descriptions.

For example, you could say, “Everyone’s favorite babygirl, Jacob Elordi, just got cast in another movie.” In this context, “babygirl” is being used as a playful compliment to describe him as appealing, perhaps because of his sensitive or emotional roles.
