When Was '90 Day Fiance' Star Jasmine Pineda's Due Date? Update on Baby No. 3's Arrival
Jasmine Pineda shocked fans by revealing she was pregnant with baby No. 3 when she returned to reality TV cameras for the 90 Day: The Last Resort season 2 tell-all. Fans had many questions about the new baby, including the due date, especially since Jasmine and her estranged husband, Gino Palazzolo, had recently decided to recommit to their relationship while navigating an open marriage. The TLC star and boyfriend Matthew Branistareanu later announced that they had welcomed their baby girl on April 9, 2025, and hinted at the due date the following day. Jasmine confirmed she was expecting baby No. 3 on February 18, 2025. The news came one day after the baby's father made his debut to the TLC franchise during episode 16 of 90 Day: The Last Resort. 'Baby on the way! 90 Day Fiance's Jasmine confirms she's expecting with Matt, who she recently introduced on Last Resort,' TLC announced on its official Instagram page. In Touch exclusively confirmed that Jasmine was expecting her third child more than a month earlier, on January 7, 2025, with sources revealing at the time that her husband was not the father. Jasmine is already a mother to her sons, Juance and JC, from a previous relationship. Jasmine and Gino appeared on season 2 of 90 Day: The Last Resort, where they agreed to an open marriage. Jasmine introduced Matt, whom she had met at a local Michigan gym, to her husband during the retreat, and although hesitant, Gino ultimately agreed to the arrangement. Jasmine got pregnant after filming the series and she gave insight into the timeline in an update on Instagram. 'I was not pregnant for the filming of Last Resort. (How would I be without having sex for almost 10 months!) Last Resort was filmed March 2024,' Jasmine wrote via her Instagram Stories on March 5, 2025. The Panama native included a photo with her costar Stacey Silva while on the set of the 90 Day: The Last Resort aftershow, Between the Sheets, which captured the cast's live reactions as they rewatched the show. 'This is BTS [Between the Sheets]', she wrote, confirming the filming timeline of Between the Sheets by including the timestamp on the photo as December 19, 2024. Fans had speculated about Jasmine's pregnancy as Between the Sheets aired new episodes, believing she appeared visibly pregnant. 'The Jasmine timeline is so f--ked up cause she's pregnant here pretending she's still with Gino,' one fan wrote under a clip shared by the official TLC account. Meanwhile, another added, 'So NOBODY hasn't noticed that on most of the episodes on this show … Jasmine is Very much pregnant!! I mean it's pretty obvious.' The 90 Day: The Last Resort tell-all filmed months after filming wrapped in March 2024, and that's where the costars learned about Jasmine's pregnancy after she showed off a visible baby bump. Gino was asked for his reaction to the pregnancy in a teaser for the special, telling host Shaun Robinson, 'Of course, it's heartbreaking.' Some fans speculated that Jasmine has a possible due date in August 2025 and may have waited until the end of her first trimester to go public with the news of her child on the way. Other fans theorize that her estimated due date is much closer, around March- April 2025, due to the filming timeline as well as recent photos and videos of Jasmine. Jasmine and Matt introduced their daughter, Matilda, to fans on April 9, 2025. The following day, the family matriarch seemingly confirmed that she gave birth 'three weeks earlier' by liking an Instagram post shared by @90dayfiancé_Alexa detailing her birth story. 'Three weeks earlier, Ms. Lucie, the midwife called me at 4 a.m. and said, 'I need you here, NOW!!!' I jumped out of bed, threw on my scrubs, and ran out the door. She called again — 'Bring your camera!' I ran back in to grab it,' Sara Hunter, Jasmine's photographer who captured Matilda's birth, wrote via Instagram. 'When I got to the birth center, I met Jasmine in active labor. Less than an hour later, sweet baby Matilda made her grand entrance. Jasmine and Matt are two of the kindest souls you'll ever meet, and it was such a blessing to document their beautiful birth story.'

Chris Jasper, who helped The Isley Brothers turn funk, dead at 73
Hear this story Chris Jasper, a celebrated singer-songwriter who helped steer The Isley Brothers during some of their most successful years, died Sunday, People Magazine and the Independent report. He was 73. His death follows a 2024 cancer diagnosis, a post to his Facebook page, apparently written by his family, revealed. The type of cancer was not specified. "He will be deeply missed and his legacy will live on as an inspiration for generations," it read. USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Jasper for comment. A classically trained musician and composter, Jasper helped write, produce and arrange much of The Isley Brothers' music from 1973 to 1983. Joining brothers Ernie and Marvin Isley, he helped usher in a new era for the group, transforming it from a more classic vocal trio to a six-man R&B, funk powerhouse. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Jasper's pen and influence were behind classics like "For the Love of You," "Between the Sheets," and "Fight the Power." Their 1970-80s sound, a novel mashup of slow-grooving R&B and upbeat electronica, helped secure The Isley Brothers a spot in the pantheon of musical innovators. In 1984, when the sextuplet disbanded, he took two of the Isley brothers with him to form Isley-Jasper-Isley, a soul-funk group that found success in 1985 with peace and love-infused track "Caravan of Love." Jasper broke out on his own in 1987, launching a solo career that would include the release of nearly two dozen R&B albums under Gold City Records, a label he founded. His music has continued to be sampled by a new generation of R&B and rap stars, appearing in tracks from Queen Latifah, Tupac, Biggie and Aaliyah. Rudolph Isley, founding memberof The Isley Brothers and 'Shout' songwriter, dies at 84 An illustrious and decades-spanning career landed Jasper, as part of The Isley Brothers, in both the Songwriters and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022 and 1992, respectively. In 2014, he received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, again, as part of the group. "Beyond his musical achievements, Chris was a dedicated and loving husband and father," the Facebook post said. "He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Margie Jasper, a New York-based attorney and author, and his three sons Michael, Nicholas, and Christopher."

Chris Jasper, Isley Brothers star behind ‘Between the Sheets' and ‘Caravan of Love', dies aged 73
Chris Jasper, the writer and producer who helped shape some of The Isley Brothers' biggest hits, has died aged 73. The news was confirmed by his son, Michael Jasper, who said he died following a diagnosis with cancer in December last year. Jasper joined The Isley Brothers in 1973 and was credited with helping the trio 'transform' into a six-member funk and R&B group. 'His songwriting talent and expertise on keyboards and synthesisers became the cornerstone of the group's signature sound,' his family said in a statement to Jasper's Facebook page. Born on 30 December 1951 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Jasper trained in classical music and composition at the Juilliard School of Music in New York City. After graduating, he joined his brother-in-law, Rudolph Isley, along with O'Kelly Isley Jr and Ronald Isley, and their younger brothers Ernie and Marvin, to turn the former trio into a complete band. Together, they created some of the group's biggest albums including Between the Sheets and The Heat is On, along with singles such as 'Fight the Power' and 'For the Love of You'. The band splintered in 1984 and Jesper formed Isley-Jasper-Isley with Ernie and Marvin, achieving international acclaim with further hits such as 1985's 'Caravan of Love'. An acapella cover of the song by British indie band The Housemartins topped the UK singles chart in 1986. 'I had been looking at the world scene quite a bit,' Jasper said in one interview. 'I wasn't pleased with what I was seeing.' The lyrics, which carried a message of hope, were written around a tune he'd found himself humming for a month. When he began writing down his thoughts on a blank notepad, he realised he'd finished the song after 20 minutes: 'Are you ready for the time of your life?/ It's time to stand up and fight... The place where mankind was born/ Is so neglected and torn.' Jasper took on lead vocal duties for the song as well as keyboard, recording with the band at a studio in East Orange, New Jersey, as the first track to their second album. It languished on America's R&B charts for six months until The Housemartins picked it up and helped bring it to international recognition. Jasper later recorded as a solo artist and founded Gold City Record, signing other artists including R&B singer Liz Hogue. He continued to release music well into his sixties, including a 2019 covers album, For the Love of You, featuring The Isley Brothers' hits and interpretations of 'God is Love' by Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke's 'Nothing Can Change This Love'. His work was also popular among hip-hop artists such as Tupac Shakur, Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg, all of whom sampled his work. Arguably one of the most recognisable instances was when The Notorious BIG used 'Between the Sheets' on his 1994 jam 'Big Poppa'. Jasper is survived by his wife of 42 years, Margie Jasper, a New York-based attorney and author, and his three sons Michael, Nicholas, and Christopher, his family said. 'He will be deeply missed and his legacy will live on as an inspiration for generations.'
