It was never just about heartbreak — it was about PRIDE, DECEPTION, and a PUBLIC REBRAND.
As Season 9 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? hits the screen, viewers expected new beginnings. Instead, we got scorched earth. Jasmine Pineda is back in the headlines, not for rekindling anything with ex-husband Gino — but for absolutely dragging his new girlfriend, Natalie… and spilling enough tea to drown a yacht.

But is it jealousy, justice — or just Jasmine being Jasmine?

🔥 “THAT’S A FANGIRL, NOT A GIRLFRIEND” — Jasmine Puts Natalie On Blast
Jasmine’s online rants are turning heads. In a now-viral Instagram story, she called Natalie “a fangirl weirdo” — claiming she was more obsessed with Jasmine than with Gino. “She studied our entire relationship,” Jasmine warned fans. “This isn’t love. This is imitation.”

The claws didn’t stop there. Jasmine’s subtle digs accused Gino of playing along for screen time — and Natalie of being a TLC plant. Ouch.

💔 FLASHBACK: Jasmine & Gino’s CRUMBLING Marriage
Let’s rewind. Gino and Jasmine tied the knot in Michigan in June 2023. Six months later? Jasmine was kicked out — amid explosive rumors of infidelity and an “open marriage” that reeked more of producer pressure than passion.

By December 2023, Jasmine was living with her personal trainer Matt — the same guy Gino begged her not to see anymore. TLC blurred the timelines to make it appear less scandalous, but fans online connected the dots: Jasmine had already moved on long before the “open marriage” was aired.

What made it worse? Gino was still helping her maintain her visa status in the U.S., prompting speculation about whether the entire marriage had ever been real.

🤰 MOMMY MODE OR DAMAGE CONTROL?
By spring 2025, Jasmine had a new baby — Matilda, with Matt. But while she posted glowing captions about motherhood and resilience, fans weren’t entirely convinced. Critics claim Jasmine’s posts are less about parenting and more about image repair.

“She’s rebranding herself as a mommy blogger,” one Reddit user noted. “That baby’s her last shot at staying relevant and in the country.”

The timing of her social media glow-up? Suspiciously aligned with the new season airing — and Gino’s onscreen fling with Natalie.90 Day Fiance’s Gino Says Jasmine Is ‘Getting Uglier’ in Fight | In Touch Weekly

🚨 GINO’S “GOOD GUY” ERA — Or Just Another Character Arc?
Meanwhile, Gino’s been painting himself as the heartbroken ex trying to rebuild. Cue his arrival in Vegas, new hat (literally), and romantic dinner dates with Natalie.

“She’s calm and sweet,” he tells producers. “Not like Jasmine.”

But fans aren’t buying it. Gino’s history of online flirting, leaked DMs, and porn obsession still follows him. And his new romance? Feels heavily scripted.

“He called Natalie the calm version of Jasmine,” a fan commented. “Bro, you’re not dating her — you’re trying to replace her.”

🧨 IS THIS ALL JUST A SETUP?
Jasmine’s reaction to Natalie may seem unhinged, but there could be more going on. Some fans believe Natalie is intentionally styled to mirror Jasmine — from her appearance to her accent — making Jasmine feel like she’s being “recast.”

Even Gino’s own behavior — dodging truth bombs and pretending Natalie doesn’t know his full history — raises eyebrows.

“He never told her he’s still legally married to Jasmine,” one viewer wrote. “That’s not a red flag — that’s a neon billboard.”
