Less than 24 hours after introducing 90 Day: The Last Resort viewers to her “friend” Matt Branistareanu, Jasmine Pineda has confirmed that she and Matt are expecting their first child together…despite the fact that she is still married to Gino Palazzolo.
Jasmine, who is already a mom of two, announced her “very special news” Tuesday on social media, telling fans she’s “so happy and excited.”
“I cannot wait to meet my beautiful baby,” she added.
Matt also confirmed the news on his Instagram page, posting photos of himself and Jasmine, as well as a maternity photo of the 90 Day Fiance star.
“Baby daddy!” Jasmine commented on Matt’s post. “Looking forward to co parenting our baby.”
Jasmine’s pregnancy announcement comes after more than a month of heavy speculation online that the 37-year-old was expecting and that her estranged husband, Gino Palazzolo, wasn’t the father. (As readers know, it’s The Ashley’s policy to not do pregnancy speculation stories, which is why The Ashley avoiding covering the story when news leaked from other media outlets that Jasmine was pregnant.)
A source told In Touch Weekly back in January that they were “almost certain” that Matt, whom Jasmine met at a Michigan gym, was the father of Jasmine’s baby.
Jasmine recalled the moment she met Matt during Monday’s episode of “90 Day: The Last Resort” while discussing her sexless marriage to Gino with co-stars Stacey Silva and Julia Trubkina. Jasmine told Stacey and Julia that she and Matt had formed a “genuine friendship” after they began working out at the gym together. She also revealed that she had confided in Matt about her and Gino’s marriage issues, as well as the fact that she was contemplating an open marriage.
“I do respect him because any other man would have used my vulnerability, like, ‘This girl hasn’t had d**k in what, nine months?’” Jasmine said of her “friend” Matt. “But he has been very respectful of that.”
Jasmine claimed that Matt was on-board with her open marriage idea, as he allegedly “liked her as a person.”
Later in the episode, Stacey and Julia (and viewers) got to see Matt make his “90 Day Fiance” debut via FaceTime, during which he insisted he and Jasmine were “good friends,” but that he was open to them becoming more than that.
“If something was ever to happen, that would be cool with me,” Matt told Stacey and Julia. “But, you know, when people get married, there’s going to be ups and downs. So I want to see her happy, you know?”
Viewers first met Gino and Jasmine on Season 5 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days. The couple went on to marry in June 2023, with the ceremony airing during Season 10 of “90 Day Fiance” in 2024.
Gino has yet to comment on his wife’s pregnancy news; however, he’s been “liking” a number of comments on his latest Instagram post, suggesting that he and Jasmine remain at odds.
“I hope you’re doing well,” one of the comments read. “You deserve so much better.”
“It’s okay bro,” another fan wrote. “You WON at the end of the day Gino… you’re free’d from that hot mess you’ll find a real WOMAN who will respect you and give you a beautiful life brother! Keep WINNING.”
After announcing her pregnancy, Jasmine was met with some online backlash from fans who pointed out that she has been less-than-a-stellar mother to her two sons, JC and Juance, whom Jasmine left in Panama so that she could come to the United States and marry Gino in 2023.
In the comment section of a video posted to Instagram Tuesday, Jasmine answered a fan’s question that inquired about Jasmine’s two sons in Panama.
“I recently got the resources I need to get an immigration lawyer and bring them to America,” Jasmine wrote. “The fact that I’m not a citizen (plus they weren’t include[d] in my visa petition) is making things very hard (that plus the current political situation-which might favor or not this kind of process) but if my kids’ visa gets rejected I’m immediately going back to Panama and I won’t live in America anymore. I can’t give any more details besides this because of contractual obligations.”
While Gino has yet to share his thoughts on Jasmine’s announcement, Josh Weinstein– who’s appearing alongside Gino and Jasmine on the current season of “90 Day: The Last Resort,”– shared his reaction to the news on social media, alleging that Jasmine had been cheating on Gino with Matt for a while.
“As we all celebrate her pregnancy let’s not forget how she got here,” Josh wrote. “She cheated on Gino and was with this loser Matt since before ‘Last Resort.’ Then pressured Gino into an Open Marriage so she could conceal her relationship with this Dummy Matt. Now she’s having his baby.”
Josh went on to say that he felt “really bad for Gino,” claiming his co-star was “collateral damage” and has been left heartbroken. Josh also claimed that Gino and Jasmine’s intimacy issues were caused by Jasmine treating her husband “so badly.”
“Poor [Gino] I’m sorry for what you had to go through and I’m sorry we all didn’t see what you were actually going through sooner,” Josh continued. “Matt is nothing but a loser and a home wrecker…..”
New episodes of “90 Day: The Last Resort” air Mondays on TLC.
UPDATE! Gino’s uncle Marco Palazzolo has spoken out in anger against Jasmine, whom he was once very close to and even walked down the aisle at her and Gino’s 2023 wedding. Click here to read what Uncle Marco had to say about Jasmine’s pregnancy.

Gino is gay I don’t care what anyone says! Happy for Jasmine
She met Gino on a sugar daddy site so clearly with him for the money
We all knew she would leave him as soon as she was in the u s and married him.
She’s another Angela and manipulative abuser hopefully she’ll be fired from tlc
All of her excuses are BS. Her kids DID NOT live with her in Panama, why would they live with her here? You see in the previous episodes when they appeared, they were uncomfortable with her. Jasmine has always been all about Jasmine and nobody else. Look at all the lies she told Gino along the way, all the scamming she did to get money from him for her surgeries and extravagant lifestyle… not to mention her vile, banshee outbursts and constant degrading him! She actually hid her wedding ring and told Gino she lost it because she wanted a bigger, more expensive one… among the many other scams she pulled. She never should’ve been given a platform on TLC and she should not be here at all because her visa was a fraud.
Oh, a do-over family
🙄
Let’s also talk about the fact that she’s married to Gino, I don’t know how all that works but I believe legally he will be responsible for that baby until some sort of declaration of paternity is done.
Yes. That’s how it works in Mn.
Jasmine has been a loud and crazy narcissist since the beginning, and for some reason TLC keeps her on..Gino made a few mistakes in the relationship, but you can tell he has a good heart and ultimately had good intentions.. and is not a crazy narcissistic the way Jasmine is. Her verbal assaults when having temper tantrums, and insane screaming is classic for narcissistic abusers.. Men & women on receiving end of this type of behavior need to wake up to this all too common abuse and should walk away from anyone that carries on the way Jasmine does. Sorry, but her excuses are just excuses, and ppl like Jasmine will never stop, they are super screwed up and their explosive reactions are not acceptable. Gino didn’t deserve to be screamed at and cut down regularly, it’s awful watching it and it should not be rewarded with a paycheck by TLC. Trash!!
Sorry but I can’t respect anyone that would abandon their kids for any reason. A man, moving to a different country are not good reasons to leave your children behind. Now she is having another one. It’s odd that she chooses the words “looking forward to coparenting”. Are they together? Are they not?
As far as Gino and Jasmine they have always been antagonistic and toxic to each other. I never saw an ounce of love between them. I don’t know if they have stayed in the relationship to keep the 90 day dollars rolling in or not but they were never a match made in heaven.
So she left her kids behind and now she’s having another one while the first two are still in her home country?? That’s absolutely trash behavior. I’m disgusted.
She should be deported she clearly used Gino for a visa.
Yeah. Gino really creeped me out though. She’s a bitch.
So?
This is ridiculous…you come to another country for a spousal visa and throw a tantrum and get pregnant by a different man. Like why? Like why is she still here in the states? I’m sorry your marriage wasn’t what you expected but meeting in “sugar baby” websites should’ve been a sign. What about get other 2 kids? Now what them?
I bet her and her “baby daddy” would love her home country. This isn’t a game, lies and manipulation and now what?? Go home Jasmine! We have enough Americans that need help and I just don’t see how you deceiving and lying to get what you think you deserve is ok?
I’m a disabled vet and I’m ticked off, we can’t get the things we need or have earned yet this nonsense is acceptable?
Your “sugar baby” status should mean nothing, you’ve had an eye on any other option to stay here. Girl! You knew what your hubby was into.
but now you’ve got trump to sort out all of your issues. 👍
That was sarcasm right since trump is going to cut va services
Just like Larrisa. Also wasn’t Matt also married when this started?
