The Toxic Circus of 90 Day Fiance: Jasmine’s Baby Daddy Matt Revealed as the Real Loser
In the chaotic world of 90 Day Fiance, few storylines have captivated viewers quite like the tumultuous saga of Jasmine, her marriage to Gino, and her so-called “baby daddy,” Matt. As fans tune into The Last Resort reunion special, it becomes glaringly evident that Matt, the supposed friend turned lover, is not just a peripheral character but the main culprit fueling the chaos. His actions and attitude, expressed during the Tell All episode, paint him as a classic example of a toxic, hypocritical man cocky enough to deny responsibility and dismiss the emotional toll of his choices. From the moment he slithered onto the screen, Matt’s arrogance and insecurity became apparent, revealing him as the true loser in this tangled web of lies, love, and betrayal.
The episode kicks off amid a heated argument between Jasmine and Gino, the couple at the center of the controversy. The disagreement peaks over the shady rules of their open marriage—rules that were clearly designed to create a superficial sense of boundaries. Gino, trying to process the chaos, explains that Jasmine was supposed to see Matt just twice a week, for a couple of hours each time, and share her location with him—a thin veil of control in an already fragile relationship. Yet, with all the awkwardness on display, the most cringe-worthy moment comes when Gino jokingly blames a missing condom on chance, inciting both laughter and discomfort from the audience. Despite this, the real drama unfolds when Shawn, the host, introduces Matt, giving him the platform to paint himself as the victim. Matt, with an aloof arrogance, claims he’s simply “running from commitment,” framing himself as an innocent bystander caught in Jasmine’s web, when in reality, he’s clearly relishing the chaos he’s part of.
Matt’s attitude during the show is an overt display of entitlement. When asked how he felt about Jasmine’s pregnancy, his response—”pretty scared”—comes across as insincere, almost as if he’s more concerned about self-preservation than the consequences of his actions. The fact that he describes himself as a struggling actor at 35 adds layers to the character—aimless, insecure, and desperately seeking validation through fleeting connections with a married woman. Through his words, it’s painfully obvious that he’s a man who habitually dodges responsibility, a trait that becomes even more evident when he scoffs at the rumors of him being a “home wrecker” and asserts that it’s Gino who’s the real villain. This clearly shows how Matt tries to rewrite the narrative, projecting a false sense of innocence while deflecting blame onto Gino and Jasmine for their complicated situation.
What makes Matt’s actions truly pathetic is his blatant attempt to convince viewers he’s somehow above the fray. He insists he’s “not that type of person,” despite being involved in a pregnancy with a woman he supposedly believes is emotionally unstable. As he continues, his words drip with insecurity and arrogance—claiming he can “get any girl” he wants and that he’s entitled to argue with Gino about how to treat Jasmine. His self-perceived confidence rings hollow, especially when he dismisses the importance of emotional connection, which is essential for Jasmine’s well-being. It’s a deeply hypocritical stance—talking about respect and treatment of women but then bragging about casual encounters, dismissing the emotional toll Jasmine endures, and refusing to accept that he’s just as flawed as the others involved. Behind his bravado, Matt’s inability to see the big picture exposes his superficiality; he’s a man who avoids accountability and masks insecurity with arrogance.
Throughout the episode, the underlying message of toxicity shines through. Gino admits he felt pressured into the open marriage, convinced that Jasmine’s happiness depended on it. Meanwhile, Jasmine herself reveals that Gino believed their arrangement worked because Gino would receive “cheeseburgers”—a symbolic, almost pathetic token of acceptance—highlighting the chaos and imbalance in their relationship. Gino’s regret is palpable when he admits to feeling manipulated into the arrangement, which everyone knew was doomed from the start. The real heartbreak, however, is Jasmine’s quiet resilience—acknowledging her attraction to Matt but siding with her husband in a rare moment of clarity. It’s a story of a woman caught in a toxic triangle, manipulated and hurt at every turn, while outsiders like Matt continue to gaslight and distort the truth for their own benefit.
In the end, Matt emerges from the Tell All as the quintessential loser—an insecure, egocentric man who’s failed to accept his responsibilities and the consequences of his actions. His arrogance, denial, and infantilism underscore a deeper issue: the lack of genuine emotional maturity needed to sustain healthy relationships. For all his bravado about being irresistible and confident, he’s revealed as nothing more than a boy hiding behind a mask of bravado, desperate to prove he’s in control when, in reality, he’s just drowning in his own insecurities. As the drama continues to unfold off-screen and inside the tumultuous world of 90 Day Fiance, one thing is clear—Matt’s biggest victory is showing the world just how much of a loser he truly is.
