Jasmine Pineda and Matthew Branistareanu, known as Matt Branis from 90 Day: The Last Resort, are now able to celebrate their relationship publicly after more than a year together. Interestingly, many fans have noticed that Matt resembles a younger version of Gino Palazzolo, hinting that Jasmine may have a specific type when it comes to romantic partners. Jasmine’s connection with Gino began in early 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, stemming from an encounter on a sugar daddy-sugar baby platform. At the time, the Panamanian influencer was twenty years younger than Gino, embracing a life of luxury, while he was a reserved, straightforward man from Michigan.
Although it’s often said that opposites attract, Jasmine and Gino’s relationship illustrates that this dynamic doesn’t always lead to lasting happiness. From the outset, Jasmine appeared unsatisfied with Gino, primarily due to his frugal nature and their lack of intimacy. Once she traveled to the U.S., Jasmine started to address these issues, ultimately leading her to begin a relationship with Matt, whom she had met at her gym. Gino, having consented to an open marriage, unexpectedly found himself losing Jasmine to a partner who bore an uncanny resemblance to him.
