90 Day: The Last Resort star Jasmine Pineda has not told viewers something big about her baby daddy Matt Branis – he’s more than just someone she met at her gym. Jasmine worked as an American Literature teacher back home in Panama when she met Gino Palazzolo. Jasmine made a decent earning through her job, but she had to let it go due to differences with a senior. However, Jasmine knew she could make money through other sources, especially after her reality TV debut. Jasmine launched her OnlyFans and Cameo. Jasmine is making most of her money through these platforms.

Being a well-known face on reality TV helps Jasmine earn big through her social media collaborations and ambassadorships. Jasmine recently participated in a beauty pageant that revealed her hidden interest in becoming a model and actor in the future. While she’s currently studying to be a real estate agent, it appears modeling is something Jasmine will passionately want to do next. Interestingly, her current boyfriend, Matt, is also from the same field, even though Jasmine never revealed on 90 Day: The Last Resort what job Matt does for a living.

How Did Jasmine Find Matt In The U.S.?

The Real Story About How Matt Met Jasmine

As known to 90 Day Fiancé fans, Jasmine is a dedicated fitness enthusiast. Her passion for working out runs so deep that she even launched her protein powder brand. Skipping a day at the gym wasn’t an option for her—even if it meant relying on Gino to drive her there and pick her up afterward. Eventually, Jasmine started using Uber for her gym trips, and that might have been how she crossed paths with Matt.

In May 2024, the Instagram blogger 90dayfianceupdate reported—citing “sources“—that Jasmine had met a man named Matt at Planet Fitness in Belleville. The two had reportedly met back in November 2023. The blogger shared screenshots from Jasmine and Matt’s Instagram posts, confirming the pair was living together. The post has since been deleted.

Jasmine’s relationship with Matt is already being judged by her fans and co-stars. The timeline of her relationship with him is sketchy, and so is the relationship itself. There were rumors that she cheated on Gino with Matt before they came to The Last Resort, and Jasmine decided to have a baby with him out of the blue while claiming all the time at the resort that she didn’t love him and only loved Gino. While Matt is receiving criticism for having an affair with a married woman and getting her pregnant, Jasmine may have decided to spare him more hate.

There have been cast members who tried their hand at acting before they decided to showcase their romance on 90 Day Fiancé. Given the dramatic nature of most of the storylines on the show, the lines between truth and reality can get blurred, and if it’s a professional actor who’s part of the couple, viewers may conclude that the person is acting a part in a made-up drama to stand out from other couples. Matt, having a professional acting past with a sketchy storyline, isn’t a good look.

It’s possible Matt knew Jasmine from TV and decided to become friends with her, hoping he could someday star in a spin-off. Matt’s dream came true, and he’s the trending cast member now on 90 Day: The Last Resort without even making a proper appearance on the show. Meanwhile, Jasmine may have gone on and on about how Gino was her one true love, but she changed her mind when she got attention from an actor. Jasmine confirmed that Gino was never her type – she’d rather be with a man who looked great on camera with her.
