90 Day Fiancé star Jasmine Pineda is pregnant with her third child, In Touch confirmed on January 6, 2025, days after social media users claimed that her baby bump was “showing.” A source exclusively told In Touch that the father of the baby is “almost certainly” her rumored boyfriend, Matthew Branistareanu. Fans are now hoping to learn more about Matthew, who has seemingly kept a low profile amid Jasmine’s rumored relationship drama with husband Gino Palazzolo.

Who Is Jasmine Pineda’s Rumored Boyfriend Matthew Branistareanu?

Jasmine is rumored to have met Matthew, a.k.a. Matt, at a gym in Michigan amid her marriage to Gino. Matt is an actor who attended Eastern Michigan University, In Touch confirmed via the school’s online record of the winter 2016 dean’s list. His credits on IMDb include the 2011 short A Night to Seize, the 2012 short Clayman, the 2015 short Haunt Hunters: Stagecoach Shop and the 2017 film American Sharia.

Matt is Romanian, according to his Instagram account, which Jasmine follows. He appears to have a passion for cars and often shares photos of different vehicles on his page.

Is Matthew Branistareanu the Father of Jasmine Pineda’s Baby?

Sources confirmed to In Touch on January 6, 2025, that Jasmine is pregnant with baby No. 3, but Gino is not the father.

“Almost certain it’s the Matt guy,” a source exclusively told In Touch.

That same day, Jasmine seemingly poked fun at the paternity speculation by sharing a video of herself holding a stuffed alligator like a baby. “Guys, I have a very special announcement for you all, I’ve been keeping it a secret but I’m gonna let it out. Look at what I got in this,” she said. “My little baby. Oh my goodness and now it looks just like the daddy.”

Jasmine took the hat off her head and put it on the “baby,” seemingly referencing Gino’s love of hats. “So bye guys, honestly I have to breastfeed the baby.”

In another post, Jasmine shared a poll asking if she should take “Ginogator to the Maury Show to confirm who is the father.”

The pregnancy rumors began on January 3, 2025, when social media headlines claimed that Jasmine was “showing” a baby bump.

“Breaking News: Jasmine is pregnant — it was announced during the taping of the Last Resort tell-all,” 90 Day Fiancé blogger Shabooty reported.

Jasmine seemingly addressed the rumors the following day by writing on her Instagram Stories, “I don’t know what happened last night but I’m getting so many followers today. Welcome to Jasmineland.”

Did 90 Day Fiance’s Jasmine Pineda Cheat on Gino Palazzolo?

Rumors that Jasmine cheated on Gino began to swirl in May 2024 when 90 Day Fiancé blog @90dayfianceudpdate claimed that the Panama native had been seeing another man. Sources told the blog that “Gino kicked Jasmine out” in December 2023 after he “allegedly caught her cheating with a guy who she met at Planet Fitness in Belleville, Michigan, in November 2023.” Jasmine allegedly moved in with the new man after she left Gino’s home.

“I will leave the full name of the man out of this until it is all publicly confirmed. Gino is under NDA and cannot talk about this. I will let the pics speak for themselves,” the caption read, referring to photos that seemingly proved Jasmine was living in her new boyfriend’s home. One snap showed her posing in lingerie on a floral comforter.

“A close source of the new boyfriend has confirmed he has been using the same bedroom comforter for years and that is what she is laying on in with rose petals. Check out the third slide of the bedspread and couch and the timeline to when she started posting the couch and bedroom pics, after December 2023,” the post continued. “Again, Jasmine and Gino are both under NDA with TLC and cannot talk about any of it right now. The source said they both have to keep posting as if they’re still together because of TLC.”

Jasmine appeared to address the rumors via her Instagram Stories at the time.

“My social media is for promoting the brands I work with including my own vegan protein, not address any nonsense gossip,” she wrote on May 23, 2024. “Book my cameos, subscribe to my OnlyFans and buy my protein. I love you all.”

It was later revealed that Matt was Jasmine’s mystery man.

Jasmine’s rumored cheating was also addressed during the December 2, 2024, episode of 90 Day: The Last Resort. Gino revealed that his wife spent three nights away from their marital home in an unknown location, and when he finally asked who she was with, she told him that he didn’t want to know. However, she told Gino she would find out soon, hinting that there would be more drama between the couple on the show.
