In a playful twist that has set the 90 Day Fiancé fan community abuzz, Jasmine Pineda recently took to social media to address persistent pregnancy rumors with a characteristically dramatic flair.
The former Panamanian teacher, who shot to reality TV stardom on TLC's Before the 90 Days alongside Gino Palazzolo, posted a video cradling what appeared to be a bundle of joy—only to reveal it was a stuffed crocodile wearing Gino's signature hat.
"Guys, I have a very special announcement for you all. I'm gonna let it out."
Jasmine teased this in the video, before delivering the comedic reveal that has fans wondering if there's more to the story than meets the eye.
Jasmine's journey in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise has been nothing short of explosive, featuring everything from heated arguments with Gino to their eventual marriage and, most recently, shocking allegations of infidelity that have left viewers reeling. As a current cast member of 90 Day: The Last Resort, Jasmine continues to captivate audiences with her larger-than-life personality and increasingly complicated personal life.
90 Day Fiancé's Jasmine Pineda makes a “special announcement," hints at who the father is
The timing of 90 Day Fiancé's Jasmine's tongue-in-cheek video announcement couldn't be more intriguing. After wrapping the stuffed crocodile in a towel like a newborn, she added a particularly pointed joke by placing a hat on the toy's head and declaring,
"Now it looks just like the daddy. Cute."
The reference to 90 Day Fiancé's Gino's infamous hat-wearing habit wasn't lost on fans, who've followed the couple's tumultuous relationship through multiple seasons of the show.
After fans observed what could have looked like a baby bump during Jasmine's performances on the 90 Day Fiancé episode Between The Sheets (if you squint), the pregnancy rumors around her gathered a lot of traction.
In addition, the reality star's latest social media posts have included surprisingly baggy attire and calculated positions that appear to hide her tummy, which is a stark contrast to her pattern of emphasizing her form.
Jasmine apparently moved from Michigan to Florida, where she now resides with Matt Branis, a man she met at her gym around a year ago, in what seems to be a major life adjustment. This action has further heightened rumors regarding Jasmine's current circumstances, especially in light of anonymous information to bloggers about her being sighted with a baby bulge.
According to sources, Jasmine's pregnancy was revealed while filming the Tell All episode for season 2 of 90 Day: The Last Resort, which is why she is now unable to respond to the speculations on social media. This is not the first time this has happened in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise; Tigerlily Taylor, another cast member, also kept her pregnancy a secret until the program officially revealed it.
The implications of the video announcement
The video announcement, while seemingly playful, contains several potentially telling details. Jasmine's choice of a loose-fitting hoodie and the strategic placement of the blanket-wrapped toy notably covered her midsection. For a social media personality known for confidently displaying her figure, these subtle changes in presentation haven't gone unnoticed by her observant fanbase.
The timing of Jasmine's Between The Sheets episodes, which were shot in October 2024, when viewers first became aware of potential pregnancy symptoms, is what makes this situation so fascinating. Although congratulations are probably in order, fans are more concerned about the identity of the father than the pregnancy itself. The paternity of what supporters believe to be a legitimate pregnancy is still up for debate, despite the fact that Jasmine humorously named Gino the father of her plush crocodile.
As the situation continues to unfold, viewers of 90 Day Fiancé will likely have to wait for official confirmation from the show before getting any concrete answers about this latest chapter in Jasmine's eventful reality TV journey.
TLC broadcasts 90 Day: The Last Resort every Monday at 9 p.m. EST.
