90 Day Fiancé star Jasmine Pineda is seemingly trolling her followers and joked about the paternity of baby No. 3 after her pregnancy news made headlines.
“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,” Jasmine, 38, said in a video posted via her Instagram Stories on Monday, January 6.
In the self-captured footage, the reality TV personality dressed casually as she stood in front of the camera while holding a blanket close to her chest, which appeared to look like a bundled baby. She then unfolded the blanket to reveal a stuffed alligator.
“My little baby. Oh my goodness and now it looks just like the daddy,” Jasmine told the camera as she took the hat off her head and put it on the “baby,” seemingly referring to her husband, Gino Palazzolo.
“So bye guys, honestly I have to breastfeed the baby,” the Panama native said as she signed off the video.
In an additional slide, Jasmine asked her followers if she should take “Ginogator to the Maury Show to confirm who is the father.”
The 90 Day Fiancé star’s interesting social media posts come one day after In Touch confirmed Jasmine was pregnant with baby No. 3 and Gino, 54, was not the father.
“Almost certain it’s the Matt guy,” a source confirmed to In Touch on Monday, January 6, alluding to Matthew Branistareanu, who Jasmine was rumored to have met at a Michigan gym.
Jasmine’s pregnancy was allegedly announced during the taping of the 90 Day: The Last Resort season 2 tell-all, 90 Day Fiancé blogger Shabooty reported on Friday, January 3. “She is now ‘showing’ her baby bump and is living in sunny Florida,” according to the report.
The already mom-of-two seemingly addressed the news one day later and played coy to the rumors, writing, “I don’t know what happened last night but I’m getting so many followers today. Welcome to Jasmineland.”
Fans watched during the 90 Day: The Last Resort season 2 premiere in December 2024 as the pair — who married in 2023 — got into a heated exchange during their first night in couples’ therapy about the former English teacher spending the night away from their marital home.
“You’re the one going out without telling me where you’re going, and staying at whoever’s house you’re staying at,” Gino accused his wife as the pair got ready for bed. Jasmine admitted she didn’t “sleep at home” for three nights, but that wasn’t the reason their relationship was rocky.
“You have been ignoring me and showing me with actions that you don’t give a f–k about me,” she clapped back. “You’re losing me.”
When Gino pressed Jasmine to reveal the name of the friend she spent the night with, she avoided the question, saying, “You’re gonna get to know what friend.”
Gino declared that if Jasmine stepped outside their marriage, there would be no reason to continue couples’ therapy, as their relationship would be over.
“You’re saying you cheated on me?” Gino asked, to which Jasmine responded, “Don’t ask questions of things you don’t wanna know.”
Speculation that Jasmine cheated on Gino ignited in May 2024 after a 90 Day Fiancé fan page alleged she was caught having an affair with a man she met while working out at the gym, who was later identified as Matthew.
According to the report, Gino discovered the affair in November 2023, kicked Jasmine out of his home and she has reportedly been living with Matthew ever since. The account shared multiple photos suggesting Jasmine and Matthew were together, including snaps of the TLC alum posing in racy lingerie on a rose-petal-covered 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,” the fan account added in the caption.
Hours after the speculation ignited, Jasmine broke her silence on the cheating rumors and called it “gossip.” “My social media is for promoting the brands I work with including my own vegan protein, not address any nonsense gossip,” Jasmine wrote via her Instagram Stories on May 23, 2024. “Book my cameos, subscribe to my OnlyFans and buy my protein. I love you all.”
