Their story seemed destined for romance and cross‑cultural triumph: Jasmine Pineda, a vibrant Panamanian mother, and Gino Palazzolo, a Michigan businessman whose life became entwined with hers on the global phenomenon of 90 Day Fiancé. But beneath the fanfare and televised vows lay fractures too deep to mend. Their split, rooted in a misguided open marriage agreement, financial resentment, and scandalous trust breaches, has become one of the franchise’s most emotionally potent cautionary tales.

From the start, Jasmine and Gino represented hope. Jasmine left her homeland, her support system, to build a life in the U.S. with Gino after their “K‑1 Visa” journey aired. Their wedding in June 2023 seemed like the culmination of a fairytale. Yet inside the frames of cameras and bright lights, two heartbeats were already out of sync. Jasmine grew distant—her complaints about intimacy and emotional neglect quickly surfaced. She told producers she and Gino hadn’t shared a bed for eight months. realitytvworld.com+1 For Gino, the man who pledged love, the invisible walls erected by Jasmine’s unhappiness distracted him, left him feeling unappreciated and financially burdened.

Then the open marriage was introduced—not as a shared adventure, but as a desperate gambit. Jasmine, fed up with their “sexless marriage,” pitched the idea: let me date, let me feel alive. Gino acquiesced. He later admitted: “I felt like I was trapped in a corner… nothing was working for us.” aol.com+1 What should have been a controlled experiment soon spiraled. Jasmine gravitated toward her gym acquaintance, Matt Branis. While Gino watched, the rulebook unraveled: what began with boundaries devolved into clandestine calls, secret meetings and eventually a pregnancy—Jasmine’s new partner Matt became the father of their daughter, Matilda, born April 2025.

At that moment the open marriage ceased to be just a radical contract—it became a headline of betrayal. Gino, faced with a child not his, calculated his losses: he claimed spending over $75,000 on Jasmine’s immigration process, their home, their wedding—and now, “What a f—— waste,” he said.

The emotional stakes compounded. Jasmine’s emotional neglect and Gino’s impotence (her critique) collided into humiliation and resentment. He accused her of embracing the open marriage only to escape him; she accused him of emotional abandonment. The show’s “Tell‑All” became a no‑man’s‑land of raw confession. Jasmine’s words—“I barely recognize you… you’re so full of hate”—weren’t just for Gino—but for the marriage they lost. Reality Tea

And what about allegations of fraud? The visa route became tainted by Gino’s claims of deceit. He alleged Jasmine had used promises of love to gain residency, later abandoning the relationship. He lambasted her on camera as a “fraud” who must “pay for everything I spent” after he discovered Jade’s pregnancy.

The ripple effects flush through more than just two lives. For Jasmine: the woman who once believed in Gino now coparents, rebuilds, and must reconcile the costs of her decisions. Her alopecia diagnosis, her motherhood of multiple children, and her shift toward independence are all entwined with the fracture of her marriage. Screen Rant For Gino: the man branded supportive found himself discarded, humiliated, financially consumed. The brand of “the 90 Day husband” must now contend with the label of betrayed benefactor.

Cinemablend Will Jasmine emerge stronger than ever—or will the show weave a deeper redemption arc around her? Followers debate whether the open marriage was Jasmine’s empowerment or Gino’s surrender. Threads of consent, manipulation, cultural expectations and power dynamics tangle around this story.

Ultimately, their split isn’t simply a failed reality‑TV romance—it’s a prism of modern relationship chaos: visa stress, emotional neglect, contractual sex, and financial betrayal. The show’s cameras turned away, but the consequences linger in social‑media echoes and mental scars long‑after.

In 90 Day Fiancé lore, if ever there was a cautionary chapter about what happens when love becomes transaction, openness becomes escape, and promises become debts—this is it. Jasmine and Gino’s journey reminds viewers: relationships demand truth, not only cameras; boundaries, not spectacle; and when marriage comes without clarity, the fallout is more than dramatic—it’s devastating.
