Jasmine Pineda Welcomes Baby Matilda: Fans Left Questioning Birth Details
Star of 90 Day: The Last Resort, Jasmine Pineda, recently celebrated the arrival of her new daughter with Matthew (Matei) Branistareanu, also known as Matt Branis. The newborn, named Matilda, has sparked confusion among fans regarding her exact birthday. Prior to Jasmine’s relationship with Matt, she was a mother to two boys, JC and Juance, neither of whom lived with her. Juance resided with his biological father, Jasmine’s first ex-husband, while JC, who has special needs, lived with Jasmine’s mother in a rural area.
Although Jasmine had initially expressed a desire to bring her sons to the United States, complications arose when Gino Palazzolo made an error on her K-1 visa, complicating plans. Despite his intention to have children with her, Jasmine was hesitant but ultimately agreed to have a baby with Gino. They announced their pregnancy joyfully at their wedding in June 2023. However, just a year into their marriage, Jasmine revealed she was expecting a child with another man. This news has left many unanswered questions about Matilda’s birth timeline.
Jasmine’s Superstitious Beliefs
Challenging Previous Pregnancy
Jasmine made her pregnancy public during the Tell All special for The Last Resort. Since she was also filming Between The Sheets in October 2024, her co-stars already knew about her condition. Fans speculated about her pregnancy during episodes where she wore a red bodycon dress, which highlighted her baby bump. Confirmation came when Jasmine shared her pregnancy announcement on Instagram on February 18, 2025, but left out critical details like her due date or the duration of her pregnancy.
“I prefer not to share.”
During the Tell All, Jasmine refrained from discussing specifics about her pregnancy, citing her family’s superstitious beliefs, which discourage openly sharing details like gestational length or gender. Only those within Jasmine’s “super inner circle,”including Gino’s cousin Dana, her immigration lawyer, and co-star Nikki Exotica (who is a godmother), are privy to such information.
Pregnancy During Filming
Subtle Clues Point to Pregnancy
Viewers of 90 Day: The Last Resort noticed clues suggesting Jasmine was pregnant during filming. Facebook user 90 Day Sherry observed that in Episode 17, while others toasted with alcoholic beverages, Jasmine chose soda instead. In another scene, she was seen holding a wine glass filled with soda, and at one point, even raised a champagne glass to her lips without taking a sip.
Continued Criticism from Co-Stars
Desire for a Stress-Free Experience
The filming of The Last Resort took place from March to April 2024, leading to speculation that Jasmine should have given birth by September or October of the same year. Instead, she announced Matilda’s arrival on April 9, 2025. Despite the congratulations from fans, the post was marred by unkind remarks, including a playful jab from co-star Florian Sukaj, who referred to the newborn as Gino’s “stepson.”
Mystery Surrounding Matilda’s Birth Date
The Birth Date enigma
Despite Jasmine’s announcement regarding Matilda’s birth, there was a conspicuous absence of information regarding when and where she was born, as well as her weight. An intriguing post from Jasmine’s photographer, saraannphoto, which was later deleted, captured the birth and mentioned that Jasmine had given birth “three weeks ago.”This implies that Matilda was born in March 2025, casting further doubt on the clarity of her pregnancy timeline, particularly her selective alcohol consumption during 90 Day: The Last Resort.
90 Day: The Last Resort airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on TLC.
