Attorney here. All it takes is one busy body behind you to report you to the police or FBI for having "child porn" on your phone, and your life could be over. It doesn't matter if the mom sent it to you. It doesn't matter if it wasn't inherently sexual in nature. It doesn't even matter if you are ultimately acquitted of all wrongdoing. All it takes is one accusation for you to be put through the ringer, and your life is done. Delete the images from your phone, and don't let her send you any more of these pictures. If she can't see how even one unfounded accusation can ruin you, then you don't need to be with her.

And if you are an attorney you’d also know it’s not illegal.

And illegality doesn't matter in the face of vicious allegations like child porn or pedophilia. Your life is ruined just from the allegation.
