Bobby Beale’s mum in EastEnders is Laura Beale – she is his biological mother.

However, there’s a bit more to the story that often confuses fans:

  • Bobby was born to Ian Beale and his then-wife Laura Beale (née Dunn).
  • For a while, it was believed Garry Hobbs might be Bobby’s dad, but later tests proved Ian is the biological father.
  • After Laura died in 2004, Ian’s later wife Jane Beale stepped into the role of a mother figure and eventually adopted Bobby, which is why some viewers think of Jane as his “mum” on the show.

So if you’re asking strictly “who is Bobby Beale’s mum,” the in‑universe biological answer is Laura Beale , but in his later life he is largely raised and legally adopted by Jane Beale , who also counts as his mum in a day‑to‑day sense.
