Life has been full of twists and turns for 90 Day Fiancé star Jasmine Pineda—between welcoming a new baby, recovering from an intense surgery, and navigating big relationship changes, she’s been through a lot in just a few weeks.
One month after giving birth to her daughter Matilda, Jasmine found herself in unexpected pain, which led to an emergency dental surgery.
And through it all, her new partner Matt Branistareanu was right by her side—supporting her, holding down the fort at home, and showing up in ways that clearly mean the world to her.
A Painful Surprise After Baby Matilda’s Arrival
On Thursday, Jasmine opened up on Instagram about a health scare that left her in tears.
She posted a close-up of her face showing clear signs of discomfort, along with a message to her followers explaining what had happened.
“I had an emergency surgery on one of my teeth,” she wrote.
“My gums got so messed up during pregnancy, it caused some issues.”
It turns out, pregnancy took a toll on more than just her sleep schedule—her dental health took a serious hit too.
Matt Steps In When Jasmine Needs Him Most
As she detailed the painful experience, Jasmine praised her boyfriend Matt for stepping up in a big way when she needed him the most.
“I called Matt, basically yelling out in pain,” she shared.
“He came home, found me an endodontist, and set up an appointment.”
While Jasmine headed off for her procedure, Matt stayed home to care for their newborn daughter, affectionately called Matty.
After the surgery, Jasmine said she spent the rest of the day asleep, recovering from both the pain and the stress. “You’re the best, Matt,” she added. “I appreciate you so much.”
Celebrating Baby Joy Amid Life’s Chaos
This whirlwind of emotion comes just a month after Jasmine gave birth to Matilda on March 20.
On April 8, the couple introduced their baby girl to the world in a heartfelt message to TLC:
“Introducing Matty, our sweet baby girl! She’s already filling our hearts with so much love and joy.
We’re beyond grateful for this new chapter in our lives.”
Matilda is Jasmine’s third child—she also has two sons, Juance and JC, from a previous relationship.
And while this new chapter is full of love and fresh beginnings, Jasmine couldn’t resist throwing a little shade at her ex.
A Subtle Swipe at Gino
In another Instagram Story post, Jasmine seemed to indirectly call out her ex-husband Gino Palazzolo, hinting at past disappointments in their relationship.
She wrote, “Then you see how you moved 2300 miles away for someone who wouldn’t even drive you 5 minutes away… vs someone that won’t hesitate to be there for you unconditionally and that showers and smells good on top of that.”
Ouch. That comment was hard to miss.
From Reality TV Drama to Real Life Love
Fans of 90 Day: The Last Resort saw Jasmine and Gino’s relationship struggles play out on screen, with season two introducing Matt as Jasmine and Gino hit major intimacy roadblocks.
At one point, Jasmine even floated the idea of an open relationship—but things eventually fell apart.
Now, with Gino in the past, Jasmine has been building something new and nurturing with Matt.
Alongside a sweet photo of the two of them, she wrote: “The way I’ve witnessed this man take care of me and protect me has healed broken pieces of me.”
Finding Peace in Motherhood
Despite all the changes and challenges, Jasmine seems to be embracing her new role as a mom of three.
She recently shared a peaceful moment on Instagram—a cozy selfie with baby Matty sleeping on her chest—captioned with a simple but powerful message: “Feeling so happy.”
She also posted a short video walking her dog on Friday, looking upbeat and casual in a navy blue athletic outfit that showed off her post-baby confidence.
Sharing Her Birth Story
Earlier in the week, Jasmine opened up about her fears around giving birth in a foreign country without her family nearby.
But with Matt by her side, she found the strength to face it head-on.
“I was terrified of giving birth in a foreign country — with no family by my side except for my daughter’s father,” she admitted.
Still, she made the brave decision to go through with a natural, unmedicated birth after her doctor gave her the all-clear.
