“Because my ex is broke and being a gold digger was a story line made up by him.” Jasmine Pineda typed that into her own comments on October 19 — three days before she posted her boyfriend Matt Branistareanu’s texts with the caption “From begging an useless guy to this.” The woman who spent years on television being accused of marrying Gino Palazzolo for his money is now the one paying him: $500 a month, for 40 months, until the fall of 2029.
The divorce was finalized on June 25, 2026. Gino filed in Michigan in July 2025, Jasmine filed in Florida the next month, and under the reported judgment she pays $20,000 in spousal support — $500 a month from July 1, 2026. Gino kept the Canton, Michigan, home and a 2015 Ford Explorer; Jasmine kept the Dunedin house. Her statement said the settlement “concluded with Jasmine providing financial support to Gino”; his representative called it “legal closure.” She has already moved on — her return with Matt puts her new family front and center.
Team Jasmine: The Gold-Digger Story Just Fell Apart
For one camp, the check is the punchline to five years of accusations. Gino spent season after season telling cameras Jasmine was only after his money — and the divorce ended with her paying him. She has said she could cover the full $20,000 in roughly a month of OnlyFans income, reporting monthly earnings near $20,000. The $500 is not a burden. It is a receipt.
She has the life to back it up. She left Michigan, welcomed daughter Matilda with Matt in March 2025, and now headlines a spinoff built around her friend group, premiering December 14. The marriage is over, the baby is here, the new show is hers — why owe the past more than a monthly line item?
Team Gino: The Court Ordered It, and He Paid in Other Ways
The other camp says the check is not a punchline — it is a court order. He met Jasmine online in 2019, married her in secret in June 2023, and sponsored the life that made her a reality star. The marriage lasted barely ten months before their April 2024 separation, and by February 2025 she was announcing a pregnancy with another man. Fans’ verdict on her move-on was swift — but the court still ordered her to pay, and to this camp, that says plenty.
Gino, meanwhile, has said almost nothing. He has not answered the “useless guy” post, has not said publicly whether he is still with Lexi, his Single Life Season 5 girlfriend, and spent September 7 at the Arts, Beats & Eats festival in Royal Oak with friends. To his supporters, that silence is the argument: he took the house, the car, and $500 a month — and let her do the talking.

The spending post split the fandom a second time. On October 19, Jasmine shared her monthly expenses — “As of October 18, I’ve already spent $17,264.73 this month” — with $2,000 listed as “divorce-related payments.” Some fans called it tone-deaf, pointing at $12 for the dog next to $1,800 for groceries. Others said she was showing her work: the travel, the posts, the hustle that pays for everything, including the check to Gino.
Three More Years of Checks — and a Ring Box in Florida
The checks run until the fall of 2029, so Jasmine and Gino stay financially linked for three more years whether they like it or not. Florida will keep the argument alive: in the trailer, Jasmine opens a ring box and asks Matt, “Baby, will you marry me?” — while Matt wonders aloud, “But what if I’m not [her] dad?” The woman paying her ex $500 a month is already shopping for her next wedding.
So here is the question the $500 check keeps asking: after the gold-digger accusations, the open marriage, the baby with Matt, and the “useless guy” post — does Gino deserve $500 a month from the woman who calls him broke, or is Jasmine paying for a marriage she already left behind? Team Jasmine or Team Gino — the checks clear until 2029, so pick a side now.
