In the world of 90 Day Fiancé, few names evoke as much passion, controversy, and intrigue as Jasmine Pineda. The Panamanian firecracker with a heart as wild as her storyline had been through it all—an emotional rollercoaster of love, heartbreak, and redemption. But if anyone thought her saga ended with her volatile marriage to Gino Palazzolo, they couldn’t have been more wrong.
Jasmine’s love life played out like a reality TV fever dream. When she first arrived in the U.S. to be with Gino, fans were glued to their screens. Their chemistry was undeniable, but so were their constant fights, cultural clashes, and opposing dreams. Yet, against all odds—and possibly better judgment—they tied the knot in a quiet ceremony in Michigan in 2023, sealing their rocky relationship with vows that many believed wouldn’t last.
But even as Jasmine smiled for the cameras, something inside her felt unfinished. Gino was safe, familiar, but he wasn’t feeding her soul. Behind closed doors, the cracks in their marriage deepened. Gino’s cautious, reserved nature clashed violently with Jasmine’s fiery spirit. They tried counseling, tried compromising, even flirted with the idea of an open marriage—a desperate move to keep the bond from unraveling. And that’s where Matt Branis stepped into the picture.
Matt wasn’t your typical reality show suitor. A 37-year-old fitness coach and aspiring actor, Matt first met Jasmine at a local gym where she sought refuge from the stress of her crumbling marriage. He wasn’t flashy, wasn’t chasing headlines—just a guy with an easy smile, kind eyes, and an uncanny ability to listen without judgment.
What began as casual conversations over post-workout smoothies evolved into late-night texts, long walks, and emotional confessions. Jasmine, always fiercely protective of her independence, tried to convince herself that Matt was just a friend, a confidant. But deep down, she knew the emotional affair had begun before she even realized it.
By the time she admitted her feelings for Matt, her marriage to Gino was a shell. Gino, hesitant but unwilling to lose Jasmine completely, agreed to the open marriage arrangement. But even with that fragile truce, things spiraled. The world watched, some in awe, others in disapproval, as Jasmine leaned further into her connection with Matt.
The tipping point came when Jasmine, glowing with excitement and terror, discovered she was pregnant—with Matt’s child. The news rocked her world and sent shockwaves through the 90 Day Fiancé fanbase. Jasmine, ever unapologetic, took control of the narrative. With a mix of pride and vulnerability, she announced her pregnancy publicly, refusing to hide behind shame or judgment.
Social media exploded. Supporters praised her courage to follow her heart, while critics labeled her reckless. Gino, blindsided, withdrew from the public eye. But Matt? He stepped up in a way no one expected.
He became her anchor—attending prenatal appointments, setting up a nursery, and even helping Jasmine navigate the emotional turbulence that came with breaking free from her past. Where Gino faltered, Matt thrived. He loved Jasmine not despite her fiery nature but because of it.
In April 2025, Jasmine gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Matty, named as a blend of her parents’ names—a symbol of their new beginning. The moment Jasmine held her daughter in her arms, surrounded by Matt’s unwavering presence, she felt a peace she hadn’t known in years.
But the journey wasn’t without its bumps. The media continued to hound her, twisting headlines, calling her storyline one of reality TV’s biggest scandals. But Jasmine stood tall, as she always did. She doubled down on her truth: life isn’t perfect, love isn’t neat, and sometimes the heart takes you where logic fears to go.
Today, Jasmine and Matt are living life on their terms. They’re raising Matty together, splitting time between California and Panama, where Jasmine feels most at home. Matt continues to support Jasmine’s dreams, whether that’s returning to the 90 Day spotlight or stepping away from it entirely.
Their love story might not fit into the traditional mold—but that’s exactly why it works. Two imperfect people, finding peace in each other, despite the noise of the world.
In the end, Jasmine Pineda’s story isn’t about scandal—it’s about choosing happiness when the world says you shouldn’t. And with Matt Branis by her side, Jasmine has finally found the kind of love that feels like home.
