90 Day Fiancé: I Think I Know The Real Reason Jasmine Pineda’s Keeping Matt Branis In Friend Zone
Jasmine Pineda from 90 Day: The Last Resort hasn’t introduced her baby’s father, Matt Branis, as her partner, and I believe I understand why. I have enjoyed watching Jasmine’s journey on reality TV over the past four years. I particularly appreciate her dramatic personality, which has created many entertaining moments on the show. At first, I admired Jasmine for appearing honest and authentic. However, my opinion of her changed when she deceived Gino Palazzolo about her intimate encounter with her ex, Dane. She withheld important information, such as the fact that she moved into an apartment near Dane.
I was very hopeful about Jasmine and Gino’s relationship. I thought that they were compatible and wanted to see them build a family together. Surprisingly, their relationship worsened after marriage. They struggled to overcome their intimacy issues, so they joined 90 Day: The Last Resort to undergo therapy. I still hoped they could make things work, but Jasmine shocked everyone by mentioning that she wanted an open marriage. She introduced her gym friend, Matt Branis, claiming he was just a buddy. However, things progressed quickly, and in early 2025, Jasmine announced she was pregnant with Matt.
Jasmine Views Matt Branis As A Friend
Over the months, Jasmine recognized Matt as the father of her child. She doesn’t refer to him as her romantic partner, and I believe I know why she is hesitant to make their relationship official. Throughout this time, I have observed Jasmine frequently describe Matt as a close friend.
Recently, Jasmine even posted an Instagram Story stating that “Matt is just a support system” and “a good friend” to her. Jasmine has acknowledged that she struggles to trust another man emotionally, which I believe is a factor in her reluctance to commit to a serious relationship with him.
Matt Doesn’t Have A Thriving Career & Lacks Financial Stability
I also believe that Jasmine isn’t entering into a relationship with Matt because she doesn’t want to be with a man who can’t provide her with a luxurious life.
There are several indications that Matt isn’t very wealthy or ambitious. Despite enjoying working out, he doesn’t appear to be earning a substantial income. In April 2025, Instagram blogger @shabootydotcom posted that Matt works as a mechanic and has recently taken up a job as a tow truck driver. I trust that Jasmine would not want to be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t have a stable career.
Jasmine Dreams Of Becoming A Sugar Baby
I believe Jasmine is hesitant to make things official with Matt because she still identifies with the lifestyle of a sugar baby.
