The 90 Day Fiancé star Jasmine Pineda has been at the heart of circulating pregnancy rumors in yet another reality TV-like turn of events, but it's not only the pregnancy that has people talking.

According to reports, the 38-year-old Panamanian now celebrity, who gained popularity on the popular TLC reality program 90 Day Fiancé that tracks foreign couples as they apply for K-1 visas, is expecting her third child. However, the plot thickens as sources claim her husband of one year, Gino Palazzolo, isn't the father.

The show, which has been a cultural phenomenon since its debut, documents the journeys of Americans and their foreign partners as they decide whether to tie the knot within the 90-day timeframe required by the K-1 visa.

Jasmine and Gino's relationship has been a rollercoaster ride since their first appearance, filled with dramatic confrontations, trust issues, and passionate reconciliations. Now, as the couple appears on the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off 90 Day: The Last Resort, their story has taken yet another unexpected turn that has fans glued to their screens.


90 Day Fiancé’s Jasmine Pineda’s pregnancy rumors explored

The pregnancy speculation reached a fever pitch in early January 2025 when respected 90 Day Fiancé blogger Shabooty broke the news that Jasmine was "showing" her baby bump during the filming of The Last Resort tell-all.

At first, the former English teacher, who now lives in sunny Florida, replied to the claims with her usual dramatic flair. She teased viewers of 90 Day Fiancé with what seemed like a pregnancy announcement in a lighthearted Instagram Story, but instead, she showed off a stuffed alligator that she humorously called "Ginogator," replete with a paternity show allusion that had people both amused and scratching their heads.

According to sources familiar with the situation, the alleged father is Matthew Branistareanu, whom Jasmine allegedly met at a gym in Michigan. The narrative started to unravel when the almost too observant followers saw low-key suspicious social media posts implying Jasmine was hanging out with someone new in May 2024.

Dedicated 90 Day Fiancé fan sites' investigative efforts revealed that the table settings in dinner images matched, and they even recognized the same unique bedspread covered in rose petals that was shown in Jasmine's seductive lingerie photos.

The relationship between Jasmine and Gino had shown signs of strain well before the pregnancy news broke. During the December 2024 premiere of 90 Day: The Last Resort season 2, viewers witnessed an intense confrontation between the couple.

Gino accused his wife of disappearing for nights at a time without explanation on 90 Day Fiancé, while Jasmine fired back about feeling ignored and undervalued in their marriage. The emotional exchange revealed that Jasmine had spent three nights away from their marital home, foreshadowing the troubles to come.

Reports suggest that after discovering the alleged affair in November 2023, Gino, 54, asked Jasmine to leave their shared home. She has reportedly been living with Matthew since then, though she initially dismissed the situation as "gossip" on social media.

Instead of addressing the rumors directly, Jasmine chose to focus on promoting her business ventures, including her vegan protein brand.

She wrote on Instagram Stories on May 23, 2024:

“My social media is for promoting the brands I work with including my own vegan protein, not address any nonsense gossip.”

As of January 2025, Jasmine appears to be embracing her new chapter with characteristic sass and style. As the scandal surrounded her, she joked that she was welcoming new followers to "Jasmineland."

One thing is certain: the story is far from done, and 90 Day Fiancé fans are anxiously anticipating the next chapter in this real-life drama, even if she keeps followers guessing about the specifics of her predicament with cryptic social media postings and humorous baby announcements.

The situation serves as yet another reminder that sometimes reality TV drama pales in comparison to the real-life twists and turns that unfold after the cameras stop rolling. As this story continues to develop, viewers and fans remain divided between sympathy for Gino and support for Jasmine's apparent new beginning.


Episodes of Season 2 of 90 Day: The Last Resort air on TLC every Monday.
