Jasmine Pineda of 90 Day Fiance took to social media recently to reveal her biggest fear about being pregnant, while insisting that her concerns have nothing to do with her body changing.
As The Ashley previously reported, Jasmine is currently expecting her third child– her first with Matt Branistareanu. After more than a month of speculation from fans online, Jasmine confirmed in mid-February that she and Matt were expecting, despite the fact that she is still married to husband Gino Palazzolo.
While Jasmine appeared very happy to reveal her “very special news” to the public last month, her pregnancy announcement was met with some criticism from “90 Day Fiance” fans who took issue with Jasmine having a baby with someone in the United States, when her two sons from a previous relationship remain in Panama.
This week, Jasmine took to TikTok Live to reveal her biggest concern about welcoming another baby, while mentioning her youngest son, JC, whom she tends to keep off of social media, unlike her older son, Juance.
“My biggest fear about having a baby is the fact that my son JC is special needs and it’s a common condition in my family,” Jasmine stated in the video, before going on to reveal that she also has two nephews who “have the same condition.”
“So, it’s something running in my blood side, OK? That’s why [I’m fearful],” she continued.
Jasmine clarified during the Live that she has never expressed any concerns about her “body changing” as a result of pregnancy, despite some critics accusing her of making such comments on “90 Day Fiance.”
“Much like our sex life, I’m gonna sit this one out, Jasmine.”
“I was concerned about having a baby with special needs,” she said, noting that she made this clear during one of her appearances on 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After.
Jasmine was referring to a conversation she and Gino had on Season 8 of ‘Happily Ever After,’ during which she explained to Gino several times that she didn’t want to have another baby, citing her pregnancy with JC and fertility issues she had allegedly experienced.
During the episode, Jasmine also spoke about JC, who is now 13 years-old, having difficulty with verbal communication and the challenges she faced while raising him, telling Gino she feared that if she were to have another child, the experience would be similar.
“He doesn’t have a verbal language,” Jasmine said of JC during Season 8. “But what makes it difficult to have a child with special needs is not the child. It’s the people. It’s very hard, it’s not easy.
“I’m glad that sometimes my son doesn’t realize what’s going on but me as a mom, I do,” she said. “If we go to a restaurant and he’s not behaving as a neurotypical kid, you have the stares, you have the ugly looks. You have, even the staff from the restaurant, you know? And it hurts me a lot. I don’t know if I will have the strength to go through this.”
After Jasmine announced her pregnancy last month, fans slammed her for having another baby while her existing two kids were in Panama. (Juance lives with his father, while JC lives with Jasmine’s mother. Jasmine left them in 2023 to come to the United States to marry Gino.)
Jasmine ensured fans last month that bringing her two sons to America is still very much in her plans.
“I recently got the resources I need to get an immigration lawyer and bring them to America,” Jasmine wrote on Instagram. “The fact that I’m not a citizen (plus they weren’t included in my visa petition) is making things very hard (that plus the current political situation — which might favor or not this kind of process).”
Jasmine added that she would immediately return to Panama if her sons’ visa applications were rejected.
“I won’t live in America anymore. I can’t give any more details besides this because of contractual obligations,” she said.

I have mixed feelings about Jasmine and her children. But I am extremely happy she’s done with Gino. What a cheap ass lazy loser
What amazes me is how smart she thinks she is. And her stupid blubbering. I thought Gino was dumb but actually Matt is the really dumb one. Gino has put up with her foul mouth and nasty treatment. It is no wonder he refuses to be intimate with her. What man would put up with that kind of belittlement? Well she wanted Matt and she got him…along with a child. Gino needs to divorce her or get an annulment. Put an end to his misery. As for Matt, he has no idea what he is in for. The first time he says no to her the fire and brimstone will flood from her mouth. She has 2 kids, one her ex husband is raising and the other her mother is raising. Now she will have another that she will not raise…good luck Matt! You play you pay!
She is having this child to stay in America.She is a grifter.
The premise of her visa was to be married to Gino. If they are no longer together then she should have been sent home as the condition of her visa was no longer met.
She’ll probably abandon this one round too. Vile woman.
let me get this straight ~ she’s talking about how it’s ‘difficult to have a child with special needs’ while HER MOM (in a different country) is actually, y’know, RAISING THE CHILD? um, okay. 🙄🥴
(disclaimer: my sole knowledge of the 90DF universe is what i read here, so this could be completely off-base 🤷🏼♀️)
You are not off base whatsoever. Jasmin dumped her kids off on her family/ex while she was still living in Panama. She has no idea what it takes to raise a child with special needs because she abandoned her own child.
And I could have sworn at some point she mentioned that her mother was battling cancer.
Jasmine thinks having this baby here is her ticket to staying here for good and bringing her other 2 kids here, WRONG. Gino needs to get this annulled ASAP and send her ass packing.
I wish Gino were a little smarter. She couldn’t have been more of a mistake.
Larrisa is still here with none of her kids.
Quick question, who is paying for these Dr. visits, and who is going to PAY THIS HOSPITAL BILL?
She has Only Fans money.
Jasmine is trash for abandoning her sons and now having another baby
She wasn’t even raising them when she lived in Panama.
So she got pregnant by one dude while married to another dude and while her two kids are still living in another country? And she got pregnant again despite knowing that she has a high chance of having a kid with health problems because she already has one as well as two nephews?
Well she’s complete trash, that’s all I can say
Exactly. If irresponsibility was a person, it would be Jasmine.
Her poor kids don’t deserve this.
