Very Sad News 90 Day Fiance: Gino Can LEGALLY Claim Jasmine’s Baby Girl & Become Her Legal Father
The story begins quietly, as all tragedies do — with a simple YouTube host greeting her viewers: “Hello everyone, welcome back to my channel!” But beneath the cheerful tone lies a scandal that’s about to explode across the 90 Day Fiancé universe.
Because this time, the drama isn’t about jealousy, betrayal, or long-distance heartbreak — it’s about the law, and how one shocking legal loophole could allow Gino Palazzolo to claim Jasmine Pineda’s baby… even though the child isn’t biologically his.
Yes. You heard that right.
In a twist that no one saw coming, Gino — the man Jasmine left behind — might have the legal right to take her newborn daughter away.
It all started when Jasmine and her new boyfriend, Matt Branis, were basking in the joy of their growing family. Their little girl had her father’s eyes, his smile, his warmth — there was no question who the biological dad was. But biology, as it turns out, doesn’t always win in court.
While Jasmine thought her past with Gino was nothing more than a closed chapter, she soon discovered that she was still legally married to him. The paperwork hadn’t been finalized. The divorce wasn’t complete. And that technicality, buried under months of neglect and drama, was about to become a nightmare.
On paper, she was still Mrs. Palazzolo.
And in the eyes of U.S. law, that meant any child she gave birth to while still married — even if the father was someone else — could legally be considered the husband’s child.
Matt was shocked. Jasmine was horrified.
They had no idea that such a law even existed — a law that could strip a biological father of his rights, and hand those rights to the estranged husband instead.
The thought alone was enough to make Jasmine tremble. Could Gino actually claim her baby girl? Could he use the law to take her away?
Let’s rewind to understand how things spiraled this far.
After years of fiery fights, breakups, and reconciliations, Gino and Jasmine’s relationship had finally burned out — or so everyone thought. Gino, still smarting from their chaotic split, was reportedly tallying every dollar he had spent during their time together.
He went on national television with a calculator in hand, adding up every flight, every dinner, every hotel, every gift, every cent he claimed to have poured into their marriage — a grand total of $75,000.
To him, that number wasn’t just money. It was emotional currency. It was the proof that he had given everything — and in return, gotten heartbreak.
To Jasmine, it was petty revenge. But for Gino, it was about justice. He wanted repayment — emotionally, financially, legally.
And now, in a cruel twist of fate, the law might hand him a different kind of victory.
While Jasmine and Matt were preparing for the arrival of their child, Matt urged her repeatedly: “You need to finalize your divorce, Jas. Before the baby comes.”
But Jasmine — juggling pregnancy, filming schedules, and emotional exhaustion — kept putting it off.
Until one day, Matt decided enough was enough.
He arranged for her to meet with a legal expert, someone who could spell out the reality she was too afraid to face.
Sitting in a quiet office, Jasmine listened as the lawyer laid it out in painful detail:
“Because you are still legally married to Gino, he is presumed — under U.S. law — to be the father of your child. He could, if he wanted, claim parental rights. Even if the child isn’t biologically his.”
The words hit her like a freight train.
Jasmine froze. Her world stopped spinning.
For the first time, she saw just how dangerous her situation truly was.
Matt, too, was stunned. The confident, easygoing man who had been ready to build a life with Jasmine now looked shaken. What if Gino actually used this law? What if he filed for custody?
“I can’t lose my daughter,” Jasmine whispered through tears.
But her options were limited. Her baby was due soon — too soon to finalize the divorce. Too soon to escape the tangle of legal red tape that kept her bound to Gino.
Every passing day was a countdown — not just to the birth of her child, but to a potential custody war waiting to erupt.
Meanwhile, Gino’s silence was deafening. He hadn’t made a public move, but his past comments hinted at simmering resentment. Viewers remembered his words about Jasmine “using him to get to America.” His tone — sharp, wounded, vengeful — left many wondering: if he had the power to retaliate, would he?
Was this how he’d get his revenge — not through money, but through the law?
Social media lit up with speculation. Fans debated the legality, the morality, the humanity of the situation. Could Gino really do it? Could he take a child who wasn’t his?
Legal experts weighed in: yes, technically, he could. The law often recognizes the husband as the legal father of any child born within the marriage — unless otherwise proven and challenged in court.
That meant Jasmine and Matt would have to fight to prove biological paternity, a process that could take months — even years.
The irony was painful. Gino and Jasmine’s marriage had started as a dream — a whirlwind romance that defied distance, culture, and reason. Now, it was ending as a nightmare written in legal ink.
As the credits of this real-life drama roll, Jasmine’s tears are what linger.
She once believed she could outrun her past — that love with Matt could overwrite every mistake with Gino. But the past doesn’t disappear; it waits. And sometimes, it comes back not as a man seeking forgiveness, but as a law demanding recognition.
Her baby girl, innocent and unknowing, became the center of a cruel twist — one that blurred the lines between love, law, and loyalty.
Matt holds Jasmine close, promising that they’ll fight together. But in the corner of her mind, she knows the truth: until that divorce is finalized, she’s still tied to Gino — and so, in the eyes of the law, is her daughter. 
It’s a story that leaves everyone watching in disbelief.
Can a man truly claim another man’s child — just because of a marriage license?
Could Gino really use the system to get even?
The questions hang heavy, and the answers may come only with time. But one thing is certain — in the world of 90 Day Fiancé, love is never just about romance. It’s about power, control, and the haunting reminder that sometimes… the past isn’t done with you.
