90 Day Fiancé's Jasmine Pineda looks over to the side

Jasmine Pineda from 90 Day: The Last Resort posted a surprisingly intimate photo with her friend, Matt Branis, in celebration of reaching a huge milestone together. Previously, she was married to Gino Palazzolo and relocated to the United States to marry him. Despite their vows, Gino and Jasmine struggled with intimacy issues. They participated in 90 Day: The Last Resort season 2 to confront their challenges and ultimately opted for an open marriage, which included Jasmine’s gym buddy, Matt. Unexpectedly, Jasmine became pregnant by Matt and gave birth to their daughter, Matilda, in March 2025.

Jasmine denies being in a romantic relationship with Matt and calls him her best friend in the United States. However, recent events suggest otherwise.

Jasmine recently celebrated her daughter Matilda’s two-month milestone and expressed appreciation for her child’s father, Matt, by sharing a heartfelt picture of them. Jasmine was seen kissing Matt on his lips with her eyes closed, though she censored the picture with pink hearts. In addition to sharing the intimate picture, she wrote, “Thanks for gifting a beautiful daughter! You’re the most genuine friend I’ve ever had.”

Despite initially claiming to be just friends with Matt after welcoming their baby in March 2025, Jasmine has since started showing signs of developing romantic feelings for him. She has been open about her struggles with trusting men following the tragic end of her marriage to Gino, but it appears that her bond with Matt has grown stronger over time. With their daughter getting older, it’s evident that they may be rekindling a romantic connection. It seems that Jasmine wants to make it known to her fans that she has found happiness with Matt after her tumultuous relationship with Gino.

Jasmine, one of the most popular cast members of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, has a knack for stirring up buzz among fans. Sharing a personal picture with Matt could be a strategic move to drum up discussion about their relationship prior to confirming her potential return to the franchise. By sharing a cozy picture with Matt, Jasmine could attract a great deal of interest and engagement, which is essential for upholding her status as a reality TV celebrity. It seems that her picture may be more about garnering attention rather than expressing genuine appreciation for Matt.

Our Take On Jasmine’s Surprising Photo With Matt

Jasmine Has Completely Moved On From Gino

90 Day Fiancé's Gino Palazzolo, Jasmine Pineda and Matt Branis look perturbed.

Jasmine sharing a cuddly picture with Matt may symbolically signify the end of her relationship with Gino. It seems she wanted to show her ex-husband that she had found happiness after their messy breakup. Although Jasmine censored the kiss in the picture, it appears she is beginning a new chapter with Matt. While she still refers to Matt as her best friend, she seems to hint at a potential romantic relationship with him. It’s possible that the 90 Day: The Last Resort alum is testing the waters with fans before officially going public with Matt.
