90 Day Fiancéstar Jasmine Pineda’s money problems are getting serious amid rumors of her being pregnant, as she recently expressed concern over the TikTok ban.Jasmine worked as an American Literature teacherin Panama when she met engineer Gino. Gino found Jasmine on a sugar baby website and even though she claimed a friend had created the profile for her, it exposed the transactional nature ofJasmine and Gino’s relationshipand explained why she had such a problem with Gino buying her an electric toothbrush for Christmas.

Jasmine always expected more from Gino, who, in turn, didn’t want to be treated like a walking ATM.Jasmine’s split with Ginomay have allowed the Michigan man to finally cut his ties with Jasmine and not provide her with financial help. Jasmine has hinted at having money problems more than once in the past few weeks, which is concerning since there are rumors that Jasmine is six-seven months pregnant with her third baby and Gino is not the dad.

Jasmine added a poll in her next Instagram Story asking fans to react to the ban. She wanted to know if they believed the app was going to come back. Jasmine seemed to show sympathy towards millions of creators like her who were going to get affected if the app was permanently removed from their lives. Jasmine called the app her “livelihood.” She prayed and hoped that a solution would be found. Jasmine’s heart ached for the people and businesses that were going to be affected with TikTok gone. “Praying for them all. I can only imagine,” she said.

Jasmine is active on Instagram. Yes, but those who follow her on TikTok seem to know Jasmine better considering she interacts with them every other day using TikTok Live. The app, which is a decade old, seems to have more than 113 million U.S. TikTok users. There’s not one single way for creators like Jasmine to make money using the app. According toShopify, there is a Creator Rewards program for creators who produce original videos of longer than one minute—a length TikTok says generates the most engagement.

Apart from allowing users to collaborate with brands to sell products, TikTok also allows followers to show appreciation for their favorite creator in real time. Jasmine’s fans can send her virtual gifts which can be redeemed for payment through the Live Gifting feature on the app. Jasmine seems to have monetized her content through livestreaming as she keeps her followers engaged by chatting with them while going through her daily chores. Jasmine isn’t someone whose words bore people out. When she talks, they listen, and they pay her while doing it.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

It could be why Jasmine was more comfortable with “soft launching” her new relationship with Matt on TikTok months before she suggested she had someone new in her life on Instagram. Jasmine referred to him as her chihuahua and Matt was heard speaking in the background of her lives. Jasmine was well aware of TikTok’s viral elements and knew that rumors of her having a new boyfriend would create more curiosity among fans about her, and welcome more numbers to her followers list on both TikTok and Instagram.

It is believed that Jasmine lied about losing her job when Gino’s ex supposedly sent her topless photos to her employer. If fans go and watch90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Daysseason 5 again, Gino mentions that Jasmine had been out of work in the first episode itself, much before Gino even met her in person in Panama. Jasmine allegedly quit her job when she signed up for the show. She may have had the foresight to know that she’d be making much more money through the show and social media than teaching could ever bring her.

Interestingly, Jasmine had bragged about earning $3000 a month through teaching when she was in Panama. For her to have said goodbye to teaching, Jasmine seemingly makes more than this amount through her social media channels. Apart from TikTok and Instagram, most of Jasmine’s earnings also come through Cameo and OnlyFans. However, Jasmine needs TikTok to promote these platforms. It’s from there and IG that she attracts new clients. That’s why her Instagram is only accessible to people over 18. Jasmine’s racy content allows her to convert followers into paying customers.

Jasmine Has More Mouths To Feed

It looked like Gino was Jasmine’s primary financial provider when she was in a relationship with him. Gino had been giving Jasmine money for everything from her cosmetic procedures to her rent for the sea-facing apartment she flaunted on TikTok and Instagram in Panama. However, things changed once Jasmine arrived in the U.S. Gino became mindful of the money he was allowing Jasmine to frivolously spend. He had taken a break from his job and Jasmine couldn’t legally work for a certain amount of time.

Back in June 2024, when Jasmine had created an Amazon Wishlist so she could buy a gift for her son, Jasmine received a lot of flak from viewers. An angry Jasmine posted and deleted a comment revealing she did not have her work permit and was unable to withdraw the money she was making from OnlyFans until she had residence. Jasmine has not revealed if her financial conditions have improved, but her new boyfriend was spotted selling Jasmine’s used shoes and an alcohol bottle she received as a gift for money on Facebook Marketplace.

While Jasmine continues to star in new 90 Day Fiancé spin-offs, she doesn’t seem to be financially well-off. Jasmine will have to bear more financial responsibility now with her apparently being pregnant. She’s also moved to Florida with Matt, the reason behind which is unknown. The90 Day Fiancéstar can’t divulge all this information to fans due to the risk of her spoiling her storyline and voiding her contract. However, Jasmine, crying out of fear of losing her livelihood, AKA TikTok, does confirm that the celeb is currently in a financial mess that Gino can’t fish her out of.
