Jasmine Pineda’s journey on 90 Day Fiance has taken a shocking and terrifying turn. What began as a messy breakup with ex-husband Gino Palazzolo has escalated into a legal nightmare that threatens her motherhood, her residency, and her emotional stability. In a desperate attempt to protect her unborn daughter and salvage her relationship with Matt Branistareanu, Jasmine met with a divorce attorney. What she learned there nearly broke her.
Gino hasn’t backed down. After accusing Jasmine of marriage fraud and demanding over $70,000 for expenses he claims to have covered during their relationship, he threatened to have her deported to Panama. Pregnant and vulnerable, Jasmine feared giving birth without Matt by her side. But the worst was yet to come.
Attorney Oxalis revealed a legal truth no one saw coming: if Jasmine doesn’t finalize her divorce before giving birth, Gino will be considered the legal father of her child under Florida law. “If Gino can prove the marriage was fraudulent, you could be deported,” she warned. Jasmine, in tears, admitted, “At this moment, I don’t know how to fix this.”
Matt, frustrated by Jasmine’s delay in resolving her legal status, insisted he wouldn’t introduce her to his mother until the divorce was finalized. Despite the fear and pressure, he chose to stand by her. Together, they gathered documents, faced the past, and clung to the hope of building a family far from Gino’s control.
Today, Jasmine remains in the United States, raising her daughter with Matt. But the threat of deportation and the shadow of an ex who refuses to let go still loom large. The question remains: how much longer can this couple hold on before the system—or the past—tears them apart?
