Stephanie Marie Phillips (née Turner) is the main protagonist of Instant Mom. A newly married step-mother. Fun used to mean spending time with her girlfriends drinking wine and talking about shoes. Now only her 14-year-old stepdaughter, Gabby, wants to hear about the shoes – mainly because she wants to borrow them. Stephanie is a career-driven food blogger and party girl, who loves being married to her new husband, Charlie, and step-mom to his three kids. But being a step-mom means finding a balance between being a mother, a friend, and a wife, all while maintaining a sense of self. She has no biological children, only stepchildren, just 1 stepdaughter, an older stepson, and younger stepson. Sometimes Steph's life can get very difficult, but she tries her hardest to be positive.



She is portrayed by Tia Mowry.
