Jasmine Pineda from 90 Day: The Last Resort put an end to speculation about her relationship with her baby daddy, Matt Branis. Jasmine got married to Gino Palazzolo, whom she met online in early 2020. Gino flew to Panama to see Jasmine in person during Before The 90 Days season 5. He wanted to start a family with Jasmine, but she kept avoiding his requests. Jasmine shocked fans when she revealed she was pregnant with someone else’s baby and not Gino’s at The Last Resort season 2 Tell All, and that she had separated from Gino after filming.
Jasmine and Matt met as friends over a year ago and have since even moved to Florida, where they had a baby, but are they still friends or something more?
Jasmine recently shared a series of photos showing herself and Matt with their baby. In some of them, Matt simply admired his daughter while holding her. In one of the photos, he was bottle-feeding her. The pictures seemed to be old since Matilda has grown quite a bit since then. Jasmine captioned the post, “Just two friends surviving the newborn trenches,” and told Matt, “You’re a very good daddy.” Jasmine’s caption left a few of her followers like @Tbullucks confused. The 90 Day Fiancé viewer asked, “Friends?” but received no response from Jasmine.

Jasmine & Matt’s Complicated Bond Explained
Matt entered Jasmine’s life a few months after she moved to the U.S. At the time, Jasmine was unhappy with her marriage to Gino and became friends with Matt while they worked out at the same Planet Fitness. Matt, who was attracted to Jasmine, offered to sleep with her. Jasmine considered an open relationship and convinced Gino to agree. She promised him she wouldn’t fall for Matt, and if she did, she would end it immediately. So far, it seems Jasmine has kept her word.
Jasmine became pregnant with Matt’s child when neither of them expected it. Despite having his baby, Jasmine said they are co-parenting and are not in a romantic relationship. She is no longer with Gino, but her reluctance to date Matt suggests she might still have feelings for Gino. Alternatively, she could be afraid of yet another failed relationship, having already gone through two marriages in her mid-30s. Jasmine admitted she doesn’t make a good partner and might believe that ending things with Matt romantically is the only way to preserve their friendship.

Matt Hopes for a Future Together With Her
Jasmine has hinted at wanting to get married in the future. However, her mind is occupied with more pressing concerns, such as the possibility of deportation and her sons’ immigration status. She recently broke down in tears over fears someone might try to take her baby away. Jasmine has been dealing with health issues, leading 90 Day: The Last Resort fans to speculate that she may be experiencing postpartum depression. A romantic relationship might be the last thing on her mind, but Matt is in love with her and may keep trying until she agrees to be with her.
