90 Day Fiancé star Jasmine Pineda has officially ended her relationship with Gino Palazzolo, and she seems to be moving on swiftly with her new family in America. The couple had built a relationship through online interactions prior to making their reality TV debut in Before the 90 Days season 5. However, their romance was plagued with tension from the very beginning, largely due to their insecurities and communication issues. Disagreements over finances frequently surfaced, with Jasmine desiring a more extravagant lifestyle, while Gino maintained a more conservative approach to spending. Furthermore, Jasmine alleged that Gino had been unfaithful, and their intimacy issues only added fuel to the fire.
As their reality show narrative unfolded, viewers noticed a shift from tender moments to frequent bickering. Jasmine’s feelings for Gino dwindled as she developed a connection with Matt Branis. While Gino envisioned a future with a child, Jasmine ultimately opted to pursue motherhood with Matt instead. This decision led Jasmine to break Gino’s boundary about not getting involved with a third party, after suggesting an open marriage that permitted her to sleep with Matt. Their separation was publicly revealed during the Tell All episode of The Last Resort season 2.
Gino’s Job Departure Without Notice
Jasmine’s Financial Dependence on Gino
The couple initially connected on a sugar baby website, and the transactional dynamics of their relationship became evident early on in the show. During a dramatic moment, Jasmine expressed her disappointment over receiving an electric toothbrush instead of an extravagant vacation for Christmas. While Jasmine claimed to earn $3000 through teaching, most of her living expenses were covered by Gino, including her rent. Her financial dependency increased when she alleged that Gino’s ex-girlfriend leaked her nude photos to her employers, leading to Jasmine’s job loss.
Despite her reliance on him, Gino made the controversial decision to leave his job as a product development engineer without informing Jasmine. He justified this by stating he wanted to support her with paperwork, believing he had enough savings to sustain them both. However, Jasmine felt blindsided, especially with her children set to join her in the U.S. The abrupt job loss raised speculation amongst viewers regarding whether Gino had indeed been fired.
Immigration Complications with Jasmine’s Sons
Unforeseen Delays in Family Reunion
Jasmine remains hopeful about reuniting with her children, Juance and JC, but her dream has faced significant hurdles. Initially, they were expected to join her shortly after her wedding; however, three years later, that reunion still seems far off. Gino failed to include their names in Jasmine’s K-1 visa application, which complicated the process. When a legal expert proposed an alternate immigration route, Gino hesitated to cover the attorney’s fees, prompting Jasmine to take the initiative herself.
Prolonged Intimacy Issues
Jasmine’s Need for Affection
In prior seasons, Jasmine and Gino openly discussed their intimate life. Jasmine once recounted a particularly risqué encounter, showcasing their once-thriving sexual chemistry. However, upon arriving in the U.S., Jasmine found the intimacy lacking. Gino’s refusal to engage physically led to Jasmine accusing him of being addicted to adult content.
“Stop putting makeup on the real sexual problem you have.”
Though Gino denied the allegations, Jasmine urged him to seek professional help. This pattern of rejection continued into their time at the resort, as Jasmine revealed that Gino had turned down her advances for nearly nine months. He attributed his lack of interest to their ongoing conflicts, which left Jasmine feeling frustrated as she struggled to comprehend where their relationship was heading. This tension culminated in instances where Gino visibly pushed Jasmine away in attempts at physical closeness.
