Gino's Fresh Start: 90 Day Fiancé Star Finalizes Divorce, Moves Forward

After nearly two years of legal battles and public scrutiny, 90 Day Fiancé star Gino Palazzolo has officially closed the book on his marriage to Jasmine Pineda. The Michigan court finalized their divorce earlier this week, and according to his representative, Gino is ready to embrace what comes next—healing, stability, and a chance to rebuild his personal life away from the drama that defined their relationship.

The journey to this point wasn’t quick or easy. Gino, 57, and Jasmine, 39, met online in 2019 and married in June 2023, with their relationship documented across multiple 90 Day Fiancé installments including Before the 90 Days, the flagship show, and 90 Day: The Last Resort. Their separation came on April 22, 2024, followed by competing divorce filings—Gino’s in Michigan in July 2025 and Jasmine’s in Florida that August. What played out on screen and off became a cautionary tale about the pressures of reality TV romance and the real consequences of major relationship decisions made under intense scrutiny.

The open marriage arrangement that Gino and Jasmine agreed to became a turning point. Jasmine went on to have a relationship with Matt Branistareanu, with whom she welcomed daughter Matilda in March 2025. She also has two sons, Juance and JC, from a previous relationship. Meanwhile, Gino appeared on 90 Day: The Single Life, already taking steps to move forward. During the 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort Tell-All in April 2025, Gino reflected on one of his biggest regrets: opening the marriage in the first place.“Overall, after all this was done, I regret agreeing to open marriage,”he said.“But I felt like I was trapped in a corner. Like, I had to make a decision, take action, because nothing was working for us.”

That honesty—acknowledging a major decision made under duress—is telling. Reality TV often frames relationships through a lens of drama and entertainment, but the real consequences are emotional strain, public humiliation, and the challenging work of untangling a life that millions watched fall apart. For Gino, the court’s final ruling represents more than just legal closure. His representative emphasized that he’s grateful for“clarity, peace, and the opportunity to focus on himself,”after navigating not just a breakup but the pressure cooker of a televised marriage collapse.

What’s refreshing here is the framing: Gino isn’t positioning himself as a victim or spinning a narrative. He’s acknowledging his own role in the decisions that led to the breakdown and moving forward without manufactured drama. In a franchise built on relationship chaos, that kind of quiet reflection and commitment to personal growth might be the real story worth following.
