The origin of mom bro is unclear, but Caleb McLaughlin from Stranger Things popularized it in June 2022 when he described his co-star Joe Keery as a mom bro because he was protective of his younger co-stars. For example, Keery went online to defend his co-stars from an inappropriate sexual comment on social media.
