Jasmine Pineda has shared her struggles with Gino Palazzolo and her new life as a mother on the reality series 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After. After opening up her marriage with Palazzolo, Pineda began a relationship with her gym buddy, Matt Branistareanu. This decision, however, led to significant upheaval, culminating in Palazzolo kicking her out of their home in Dearborn, Michigan.
In a recent interview, Pineda revealed that the fallout from their split has taken a toll on her emotionally. “What hurts me most is that he said I never loved him,” Pineda remarked, reflecting on their five-year relationship. Despite accusations from Palazzolo, including claims of immigration fraud, Pineda maintains that her feelings were genuine.
Now co-parenting their daughter, Matilda Olimpia, Pineda and Branistareanu are navigating the challenges of their new dynamic. Pineda describes their situation as chaotic, highlighting the complexities of being roommates with someone she is still getting to know. “Imagine two strangers that used to have casual sex now living together 24/7 and dealing with a baby,” she explained, emphasizing the difficulties they face as new parents.
Pineda’s journey has not been without its complications. She has openly struggled with alopecia, an autoimmune condition that has affected her hair loss. Recently, she made the bold decision to shave her head, a choice she attributes to wanting to regain control over her body. “I felt so powerless,” she stated, noting that shaving her head allowed her to focus more on nurturing her daughter.
Family support plays a crucial role in Pineda’s life. She expressed gratitude for her mother’s involvement, stating, “My mom is Matilda’s biggest fan,” as they maintain a close relationship through daily video calls. Pineda’s reflections on motherhood reveal a blend of joy and challenges, particularly as she balances her past with her current responsibilities.
The upcoming Tell-All episode promises to reignite tensions among cast members, including Palazzolo. Pineda described the atmosphere during filming as tense, particularly due to what she perceived as “mean girl” energy among her peers. She expressed frustration at having to live under the same roof with both Palazzolo and Branistareanu while filming.
Despite the drama surrounding her and Palazzolo, Pineda remains firm in her feelings. “I barely recognize this man now,” she said, addressing Palazzolo’s recent behavior and comments about her. “He wants to cause me a lot of pain. Things did not work out just because of me.” Her commitment to maintaining a positive outlook for the sake of her daughter is evident.
Pineda continues to process her relationship with Palazzolo, emphasizing that she cannot bring herself to hate him. “I will never be able to hate someone that I once loved so much,” she affirmed. The emotional complexity of their relationship and her current situation has left Pineda navigating a turbulent path, marked by both heartache and newfound responsibilities as a parent.
As fans await the release of the Tell-All episode, Pineda’s candid revelations have already set the stage for a compelling viewing experience. Her journey serves as a reminder of the profound emotional challenges that can accompany love, loss, and parenthood.
