90 Day Fiance: Jasmine Pineda Pays Gino $20K Alimony (FL)

Quick Answer

90 Day Fiance star Jasmine Pineda was ordered to pay ex-husband Gino Palazzolo $20,000 in spousal support ($500/month for 40 months starting July 2026) while keeping her Dunedin, Florida home. Both spouses filed in different states. For Florida couples, the case shows how alimony and property division work when the lower earner does not always receive support.

The Story: Reality TV Couple Splits Across Two States

Jasmine Pineda, 39, and Gino Palazzolo, 57, met online in 2019 and became fan favorites on TLC's 90 Day Fiance franchise, appearing on Before the 90 Days and The Last Resort. They secretly married in June 2023, separated in April 2024, and have now finalized a divorce that ran on parallel tracks in two states.

Gino filed first in Michigan in July 2025. Jasmine filed in Florida in August 2025. The couple owned a home in Canton, Michigan and a home in Dunedin, Florida. When the dust settled in June 2026, the result surprised many followers who had spent years hearing that Jasmine was after Gino's money.

Under the settlement, Jasmine pays Gino $20,000 in spousal support, structured as $500 per month for 40 months beginning July 1, 2026. Gino keeps the Michigan property and a 2015 Ford Explorer. Jasmine keeps the Dunedin, Florida home. Each spouse retained the furniture and personal items already in their respective residences.

Jasmine's team framed the outcome as vindication, pointing out that after years of accusations, she ended up paying support rather than receiving it. She publicly stated she could cover the full $20,000 in roughly a single month of OnlyFans income, reporting monthly earnings near $20,000.

Legal Implications: Why the Higher Earner Can Pay

The headline that surprised reality TV fans is routine to family law attorneys. Alimony is not a reward for the lower-status spouse or a penalty against the one who behaved badly. It is, at its core, a function of need and ability to pay. When one spouse earns substantially more, that spouse can owe support regardless of who filed, who left, or who the public expected to win.

Here, Jasmine reportedly earns a strong monthly income while Gino's earnings appear lower. That financial reality, not the tabloid narrative, drives the support obligation. The dueling Michigan and Florida filings also highlight a common issue: when spouses live in or own property in different states, the question of which court decides the divorce can matter as much as the underlying merits.

For Florida residents, three threads in this case are worth pulling: residency and jurisdiction, how alimony is actually calculated, and how a marital home gets divided.

Florida-Specific Analysis

Residency and Where a Florida Divorce Can Be Filed

To file for divorce in Florida, at least one spouse must have lived in the state for six months before filing under Florida Statutes section 61.021. A Dunedin homeowner who has met that six-month mark can file in Florida even if the other spouse lives out of state. When competing cases are opened in two states, courts generally defer to the state where jurisdiction first and most properly attached, often the spouse's established residence. Sorting that out early prevents wasted fees and conflicting orders. If your spouse lives elsewhere, see our guide on filing an uncontested divorce when your spouse lives out of state.

How Florida Alimony Actually Works After SB 1416

If this divorce had been decided entirely under Florida law, alimony would be governed by Florida Statutes section 61.08, substantially rewritten by Senate Bill 1416, which took effect July 1, 2023. That reform eliminated permanent alimony in Florida and created defined categories: temporary, bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, and durational support.

Under the current framework, a Florida court first determines whether one spouse has an actual need for support and whether the other has the ability to pay. Only if both are present does the court reach the type, amount, and duration. The statute also caps durational alimony based on the length of the marriage. For a marriage of less than three years, durational alimony is generally not available at all.

That last point is significant. Jasmine and Gino married in June 2023 and separated in April 2024, with the case finalizing in 2026. Under Florida's SB 1416 length-of-marriage rules, a marriage this short would face real limits on durational alimony. The modest, time-limited $20,000 support figure in this out-of-state settlement is broadly consistent with what a short marriage tends to produce. Our Florida alimony guide walks through each category in detail, and a recent string of appellate reversals of alimony and property splits shows how closely courts now scrutinize these awards.

Dividing the Marital Home Under Equitable Distribution

Florida divides property by equitable distribution under Florida Statutes section 61.075. The presumption is a roughly equal split of marital assets and debts, adjusted for statutory factors. In this case, the spouses essentially traded houses: one kept the Michigan home, the other kept the Florida home, with vehicles and personal property following the person who held them.

That type of asset-for-asset swap is extremely common in agreed divorces. Rather than forcing a sale, spouses often offset one property against another so each walks away whole. Whether a particular home is even marital depends on when and how it was acquired and titled.

Practical Takeaways for Florida Residents

The public spent years predicting who would win this divorce. The court, as courts do, ignored the narrative and applied the numbers. That is exactly how a Florida divorce would handle it too.
