Jasmine Pineda, a prominent figure from 90 Day: The Last Resort, has yet to publicly acknowledge Matt Branis as the father of her baby in a romantic context. This seems to stem from her complex emotional landscape. Over her four years on reality television, I have observed Jasmine’s captivating journey. While initially drawn to her seemingly genuine nature, my perception shifted when she hid critical details from Gino Palazzolo regarding her past with her ex, Dane.
I once believed that Jasmine and Gino were a suitable match who could potentially start a family together. However, after their marriage, their relationship deteriorated. Facing intimacy challenges, they sought help through therapy on 90 Day: The Last Resort. I maintained hope for their reconciliation, but Jasmine surprised viewers by expressing her desire for an open marriage. She introduced Matt as merely a gym friend, yet the relationship quickly evolved. By early 2025, Jasmine revealed her pregnancy with Matt.
Jasmine Views Matt Branis As A Close Friend
Jasmine’s Reluctance to View Matt as a Romantic Partner
As time passed, Jasmine began to recognize Matt as the biological father of her child, yet she continues to highlight their friendship rather than a romantic bond. Recently, she shared on her Instagram Story that “Matt is just a support system” and “a good friend” , which further emphasizes her hesitance. Jasmine also expressed struggles with emotional trust toward men, impacting her willingness to deepen her relationship with Matt.
Concerns Over Matt’s Career and Financial Stability
Another factor that may be influencing Jasmine’s decision to keep Matt at arm’s length could be his financial situation. It appears that Matt does not have a robust career or aspirations for a high-income lifestyle. Reports indicate that Matt works as a mechanic and has recently started a job as a tow truck driver. Given Jasmine’s penchant for a more luxurious lifestyle, it’s likely that she is cautious about committing to someone who lacks financial stability.
Jasmine’s Aspirations Reflect a Sugar Baby Lifestyle
A Vision for the Future That Excludes Matt
It seems Jasmine may be reluctant to fully engage with Matt because she still aspires to a sugar baby lifestyle. Her history with Gino began on a sugar baby website, aiming to secure a K-1 visa to enter the United States. Now, settled in the U.S., Jasmine appears reluctant to commit fully to another serious relationship. This suggests she may be interested in keeping Matt as a fallback to enjoy the benefits of their connection, without entangling herself in the formal commitments of a relationship. Her inclination towards an open marriage proposal reflects this self-serving attitude.
90 Day: The Last Resort airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EST on TLC, so fans can tune in to witness the evolving dynamics of this reality drama.
