Matt Branistareanu didn’t just lift weights at the gym in the August 24 episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, he dropped a love bomb on Jasmine Pineda. Tired of the friend zone, he told her straight up that he loves her and wants her to leave the past behind with Gino Palazzolo. This is no small drama since Matt and Jasmine also have a 5-month-old baby girl, Matilda who is caught in the middle of it all.

Jasmine is still legally tied to Gino, whose idea of an “open marriage” basically cracked their relationship apart on 90 Day: The Last Resort. Now he’s seeing Natalie and waving around immigration threats, while Jasmine tries to hold it together. Matt’s big confession hits her right when she’s juggling motherhood, legal worries, and a messy love triangle. One thing’s for sure: this reveal just turned up the heat on an already wild story.

What happened between Matt and Jasmine on 90 Day Fiancé?

Matt chose an unexpected setting to reveal his true feelings during their workout session in this episode of 90 Day Fiancé. He interrupted their weightlifting routine to address the elephant in the room about their relationship status.

"I don't want to be in the friend zone," Matt told Jasmine directly.

His timing showed he was eager to define their relationship while she deals with marital problems. The gym setting provided a private space for Matt to express his concerns. He acknowledged her ongoing issues with Gino while making his own romantic intentions clear.

His approach showed confidence despite the complicated circumstances surrounding Jasmine's marriage. Matt refused to wait indefinitely for her situation to resolve itself.

Matt didn't stop at just confessing his love. He later took things further by proposing to Jasmine, as seen on the 90 Day Fiancé mid-season trailer.

The proposal comes while Jasmine's legal status with Gino remains unclear. Her current marriage creates obvious obstacles to any future wedding plans with Matt. His timing suggests either a spontaneous romantic gesture or a calculated move given Jasmine’s vulnerable position. The proposal offers her an alternative path forward during marital turmoil, as seen on 90 Day Fiancé.

Jasmine's reaction to the marriage proposal was not seen in the teaser segments. Viewers must wait and watch how she handles this unexpected event.

Matt's perspective on relationships and commitment has shifted dramatically after becoming the father of 5-month-old Matilda. He wrote impassioned posts about the effects of motherhood on his priorities.

"I never knew what it's like to have a child and love something so much," Matt wrote on social media.

His dedication to Matilda influences his relationship decisions with Jasmine, as depicted on 90 Day Fiancé. He expressed willingness to sacrifice everything for his daughter's happiness and safety. His devotion makes him want stability with Jasmine and their family. Matt's experience contrasts sharply with fathers who abandon their children. He promises to always support Matilda unlike his own childhood experiences.

What else was revealed during the mid-season trailer?

The midseason 90 Day Fiancé trailer reveals Gino's anger has reached dangerous levels regarding Jasmine's situation. He believes she scammed him into marriage and threatens serious consequences. Gino reportedly called immigration authorities about Jasmine, creating deportation fears for the new mother. His threats add urgency to her decision-making about future relationships.

"You'll hear from them soon," Gino warns Jasmine during a heated phone conversation.

His actions on 90 Day Fiancé point to a complete relationship breakdown and desire for revenge. Jasmine admits being "super afraid of being deported" in confessional interviews. The immigration threats complicate her ability to make clear romantic decisions. Jasmine's marital status with Gino remains legally murky according to recent reports. This uncertainty affects her ability to pursue other relationships or marriage proposals. Immigration status concerns add another layer of complexity to her romantic choices. Any decisions about Matt must consider potential legal consequences.

The open marriage arrangement from 90 Day: The Last Resort failed to save their relationship. Both parties have moved on to other romantic interests despite remaining legally connected. Matt's love confession and marriage proposal create a pivotal moment for all parties involved. Jasmine must choose between fighting for her current marriage or embracing a new beginning.

The deportation threats from Gino add pressure to resolve her legal status quickly. Her decisions affect not only her own future but also baby Matilda's stability. Matt isn’t just tossing around sweet words here, his promise to Jasmine shows he’s dead serious, even with all the chaos swirling around them. Now Jasmine has to figure out what she really wants: stick with her messy past or take a chance on Matt’s future.

The next 90 Day Fiancé episodes will spill the tea on her decision, while also showing how she deals with Gino’s growing threats and the legal storm cloud hanging over her head. Things are about to get extra dramatic.
