Jasmine Pineda from 90 Day: The Last Resort explains why she fell in love with Matt Branis while facing marital issues with Gino Palazzolo. She married Gino in 90 Day Fiancé season 10 in 2023. They initially lived together in Michigan, but Jasmine struggled due to the harsh weather, Gino's messy home, and a lack of intimacy in their marriage. In December 2024, Jasmine and Gino joined 90 Day: The Last Resort season 2 to save their marriage. Jasmine proposed an open marriage to Gino as she believed it was the only solution to their relationship problems.
Jasmine was disappointed by Gino's lack of enthusiasm in resolving their problems during therapy. She felt sad that he showed no interest in being intimate with her. Ultimately, Jasmine introduced her friend from the gym, Matt, to viewers and her co-stars. She later announced on Instagram that she was pregnant with Matt, stating he was the father. Jasmine received a mixed reaction to the way her relationship with Gino concluded. Some fans, such as Gino's uncle, Marco, accused Jasmine of being a user, while Gino's sister-in-law defended Jasmine and publicly showed her support.
