Is 90 Day Fiance's Gino Responsible for Jasmine's Baby With Matt Amid K-1 Visa Process? Experts Explain
Two legal experts exclusively explain to In Touch how 90 Day Fiancé star Gino Palazzolo could be financially responsible for his estranged wife, Jasmine Pineda's baby after she had a child with new partner Matt Branistareanu.
'Whether a person is liable for child support, it's basically ruled by state law, so we would have to review the rules in the state of Michigan,' Aníbal Romero, Attorney at Law and Owner of The Romero Firm, tells In Touch. 'But there are states that when the person is married, there is a presumption that the child belongs to the married couple and yes, they are both responsible for the child even if a DNA test comes back negative. Again, it depends on state law, and we would have to review the case in Michigan, under Michigan law, to decide whether this person is liable or not.'
Elizabeth Ricci, Partner at Rambana & Ricci, gives more insight into the role that Gino, 56, might play in this dynamic. Elizabeth exclusively tells In Touch that because Gino is still legally Jasmine's husband and because he is the sponsor of Jasmine's K-1 visa, he is 'considered the putative father [of her child], regardless of paternity, under Michigan law.' A putative father 'is a man whose legal relationship to a child has not been established, but claims to be the father or who is alleged to be the father of a child,' according to the Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA).
This means that Gino could be found liable for child support for Jasmine's baby. Gino could also be on the hook for any unpaid hospital bills for the child.
Additionally, Jasmine's pregnancy with another man's child could have also affected her status in the United States. For most K-1 visa applicants, the first step of the process is to marry within 90 days of the foreign spouse's arrival in the States. The second step is that the K-1 visa sponsor (or the partner who is a United States citizen) files an adjustment of status to then turn the foreign spouse's K-1 visa into a green card.
But if Jasmine and Gino split before her adjustment of status could be processed, on top of the fact that she had a baby with another man, she would have been facing even more difficulties in her immigration status, according to Elizabeth.
'If USCIS found out about the pregnancy, [Gino and Jasmine] would probably be denied if they can't prove their intention to have a life together despite the infidelity and pregnancy,' she explains. 'Immigration law requires that the K-1 beneficiary [Jasmine] be adjusted through the K-1 petitioner [Gino] so even if the couple divorced and the other man [Matt] petitioned for her, it would be an uphill immigration battle.'
Jasmine, 38, is known for her relationship with Gino as the couple chronicled their journey from their first meeting in Panama to their June 2023 wedding on the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. After their wedding, Gino promised to file the necessary paperwork to bring Jasmine's two sons from Panama — after they were left off her original visa application. During the series, Jasmine was heartbroken to learn it could take up to two years before her children would be able to join her in the United States.
The couple also fought over Gino's procrastination in filing Jasmine's adjustment of status paperwork. However, in February 2025, Gino hinted that he eventually did file the paperwork and Jasmine had been in possession of her green card for more than a year.
Fans watched as Gino and Jasmine attempted to give their marriage one last try on season 2 of 90 Day: The Last Resort, which began airing on TLC in December 2024. As a way to remedy their sexless marriage, Gino agreed to have an open marriage and approved of Jasmine's new partner, Matt, 37.
Fans were shocked when Jasmine announced her pregnancy with baby No. 3 in February, revealing that the father was not Gino, but Matt.
Jasmine later insisted that she was faithful in her marriage, explaining that she and Gino separated 'two weeks' after filming for 90 Day: The Last Resort season 2 wrapped in April 2024, and that they had been apart for 'almost five months' before she became pregnant. She and Matt welcomed their daughter, Matilda, on March 21.

Tears, tattoos, Cartier watches: fan frenzy at BTS army discharge
South Korea's Yeoncheon county, just kilometres from the heavily fortified border with the nuclear-armed North, is best known for its honey. But on Wednesday, it was flooded with K-pop supergroup BTS fans. Despite pleas from the band's agency HYBE to stay away from the area where members Jimin and Jungkook were being released from mandatory military service, a screaming, weeping frenzy ensued early Wednesday. Decked out in the band's signature purple, and some even sporting BTS tattoos, fans began gathering at 3 am. Some had flown in from Brazil and Indonesia, eager to catch the first glimpse of the pair after their discharge. As the two BTS stars emerged, fans screamed, cried and hugged each other. Wu Ruohan, an 18-year-old Chinese fan, said this was her "dream come true". Their release means that six of the seven members of BTS have now finished their service. The final member -- SUGA -- is due out on June 21, bringing the group one step closer to reunion and new music. Security moved the cordons to keep fans at bay as Jimin and Jungkook arrived, dressed in camouflage military uniforms, AFP journalists saw. The K-pop idols, who have spent 18 months on the frontline with North Korea serving in the 5th Infantry Division Artillery Brigade, thanked the crowd for waiting for them. "It's been a while since I've been in front of a camera, and I'm a bit embarrassed because I didn't even put on makeup," said Jungkook, who looked slightly flustered at the mass gathering. Jimin confessed they had gone for a 5 am jog, hoping to look their best. The pair bowed to fans and media before getting into a black minivan and driving off, promising to speak on their superfan platform WeVerse later. - 'Not real fans'? - Online, fans bickered about whether it was right to turn up at the bases, against requests from HYBE and BTS. Before they enlisted, the BTS members had knelt during a live broadcast to earnestly entreat their fans not to show up at army bases as they entered military life. "They're not real fans, the boys even knelt and begged for them to not come," one social media user wrote, sharing screenshots of those at the scene, in a seeming effort to shame them. Experts have said the members will likely have a "visual adjustment period" of a few months, while they grow out their military buzz cuts and hone their K-pop look. Even so, fashion enthusiasts were looking for any scraps of personality amid their military attire, seizing on the watch worn by member V who was discharged Tuesday. His Cartier piece was estimated to be worth around 20 million won ($14,649). In contrast, his bandmate RM wore an affordable Casio. But to the disappointment of online sleuths, neither Jimin nor Jungkook wore a watch on Wednesday. On Friday, the seven-member group celebrates the 12th anniversary of its debut, known as FESTA. Fans from around the world are pouring into South Korea for the occasion. On Wednesday, thousands of people were seen outside HYBE's headquarters in downtown Seoul waiting for vans carrying the stars to arrive. While waiting to see their idols, fans sang along to BTS songs and chanted 'Jimin, Jungkook,' as multiple local broadcasters aired the scene live. Local media were seemingly taken aback by the huge interest in the releases and called the reunion a "revival of the K-pop industry". aw-hs-ceb/lb
