'90 Day Fiancé''s Jasmine Pineda Announces Pregnancy

“Gino!”

You may know her from her Get Ready With Me content on TikTok, but Jasmine Pineda was a certified fan favorite on the hit TLC show 90 Day Fiancé. Today, Pineda announced her pregnancy with partner Matt Branis. The reality star, who appeared on the show with her fiancé-turned-husband, Gino Palazzolo, made a huge splash when she came on screen—her big personality was hard to ignore. But during their time on the show, it was evident that Jasmine and Gino’s relationship was rocky. With Jasmine having her sun sign in Leo and Gino in Aquarius, let’s break down why these two lovebirds didn’t make it to the baby announcement stage.

Leo and Aquarius are sister signs, meaning they sit directly opposite each other on the zodiac wheel. This opposition creates both attraction and tension, and while they can learn a lot from each other, they may also struggle to see eye to eye. Throughout 90 Day Fiancé, both Jasmine and Gino had a hard time communicating, and Gino often appeared disconnected and nonchalant.

Leos crave recognition, admiration, and warmth—they want to feel special and appreciated in relationships. While Jasmine was also very warm and affectionate towards Gino, he did not always reciprocate this affection. However, he was very proud to have her as his woman. He even went as far as to send her personal photos to his ex in an attempt to make her jealous. But why? Well, in his defense, he wanted to show her that he had upgraded with Jasmine. On the other hand, he never complimented Jasmine directly, leaving her to feel isolated from his affections.

Aquarius values independence, intellect, and social issues over validation. They can often be emotionally detached and may not offer the constant praise Leo desires. This, of course, can frustrate Leo. While Gino may have felt proud to have Jasmine, he never vocalized it often. Additionally, there were times when Gino would insult Jasmine’s intelligence or mistreat her because he felt he was smarter. As a sun sign ruled by Uranus, Aquarius tends to follow their mind over their heart, making it hard for them to empathize with their partner when they begin to act out or request a change in behavior.

Both signs are also very stubborn, as they are both fixed signs, meaning they are strong-willed and resistant to change. If they disagree, neither will easily back down, leading to power struggles. What stood out to me on the show was when Gino made it clear that he wanted to have a child, and Jasmine, well, she was not open to the idea. She advised Gino that both of her previous pregnancies were very hard for her, and she just could not see herself having more children.

Could this have led to the ultimate breakdown in their relationship? Perhaps. But it was certainly a moment when I perked up and began taking notice of just how unmoved and unmotivated Jasmine was when it came to pushing her marriage further along. Unlike Aquarians, Leos enjoy tradition, loyalty, and romance—they love grand gestures and being spoiled.

For an Aquarius, they prefer unconventional relationships that resist social norms. Gino liked perusing social media apps that could lead to him meeting women from other countries versus a woman here in the States, similar to rapper Blueface, who prefers a relationship dynamic fueled by rage, chaos, and, in some cases, violence. It’s unconventional, and while for the average Aquarius this can be considered normal, it can always create conflicting values in their relationships.

While little is known about the actor, it is said that he’s 37 and a member of SAG (Screen Actors Guild). He is not as financially well-off as Jasmine likes, but as one fan pointed out, Jasmine does really well on her OnlyFans and may not have an issue with being the breadwinner as she navigates this new chapter in her life.

Pineda is full of surprises, as just a few days prior to this announcement, both she and 90 Day Fiancé bestie Nikki were on live, where Nikki teased that she was pregnant, stepping into the frame rubbing her belly. Of course, this left many fans perturbed, considering Nikki is transgender, but now it all makes sense. Either way, congrats to our favorite girl, and we wish her all the best!
