90 Day Fiancé: Why Jasmine Pineda Chose The Name Matilda For Her Daughter? (Did She Have A C-Section Or Natural Birth?)

Jasmine Pineda from 90 Day: The Last Resort has recently given birth to her child, Matilda, following a pregnancy with many ups and downs. She made her reality TV debut in 2021 and appeared very excited about starting a life with Gino Palazzolo, a Michigan resident. Jasmine accepted Gino’s proposal and was also recognized as the MVP of the season. She captivated viewers with her unpredictable personality and comedic antics on screen. Additionally, Jasmine has successfully established herself as a social media influencer by sharing relatable content online.

Jasmine and Gino’s journey took a turn for the worse in 2023. Despite getting married, they encountered numerous challenges that made their marriage unsustainable. Jasmine was unhappy in Michigan and longed for her two sons, but she felt dissatisfied with the lack of intimacy in their relationship. Gino began to resent Jasmine’s unhealthy behavior and believed it made her less appealing to him. Jasmine eventually suggested an open marriage to Gino during 90 Day: The Last Resort season 2. Shortly after this, she revealed on social media that she was pregnant with her gym buddy, Matt Branis.
