The final episode of the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Season 9 Tell All left viewers with a shocking question hanging in the air. In the dramatic closing moments of Part 4, which aired on November 30, 2025, Matt Branis directly asked his partner, Jasmine Pineda, about the paternity of their daughter, Matilda. His suspicions, fueled by conversations with other cast members, created a tense cliffhanger that has become a major topic of discussion among fans.
This wasn’t just a random accusation. Matt’s doubts grew during the Tell All special after other stars on the show questioned him. The situation shows the deep cracks in Matt and Jasmine’s complicated relationship, which has been a central story all season.
The Tell All Conversation That Sparked the Doubt
The paternity question did not come out of nowhere. During the Tell All episodes, Matt’s male co-stars pressed him on how sure he was about being Matilda’s father. Jovi was particularly direct, advising Matt that he should have taken a paternity test when the baby was born.
“Here’s my question. Is this really Matt’s kid? We don’t know. I think Matt is very naive to just take Jasmine for her words. My advice to Matt would’ve been to get a paternity test as soon as the child was born,” Jovi said on camera.
This line of questioning from his peers made Matt think. When Jovi asked if he could trust Jasmine completely, Matt said no. He pointed to Jasmine’s solo trips to New York as a reason for his distrust. Another cast member, Andrei, strongly agreed that Matt needed to be certain, telling him to “put a paternity test in the f**king game”. It was then that *Guillermo* brought up the name of Jasmine’s ex-boyfriend, Dane, who reportedly lived in New York. This connection deepened Matt’s worry.
Who Is Dane and Why Did Matt Suspect Him?
To understand Matt’s suspicion, you need to know about Dane. He is Jasmine’s ex-boyfriend from Panama. Jasmine briefly dated Dane before she was with Gino, her former fiancé and a main figure from her earlier seasons on 90 Day Fiancé. She has described Dane as sweet and handsome but said their relationship lacked the “fire” she wanted.
For Matt, two things connected Dane to his doubts. First, he remembered that Jasmine sometimes knew details about Dane’s personal life, like when he started dating someone new. Second, and more importantly, Matt knew that Dane had lived in New York. He linked this to Jasmine’s own solo trips to the city. In a confessional, Matt explained his thought process.
“You know what, sometimes, she did act funny and stuff. She was going to New York and stuff by herself sometimes. I know at one point, and I’m not making this s**t up, that Dane was living in New York,” Matt said.
He even noted that baby Matilda has blonde hair, similar to Dane, which added to his uncertainty.
The Emotional Confrontation Between Matt and Jasmine
Armed with these doubts from the Tell All conversation, Matt confronted Jasmine. In the final scene of the episode, he was visibly upset. He turned to Jasmine and asked the blunt question that ended the season: “What are we going to do about the kid? That baby’s mine, right?”.
Jasmine was completely shocked by the accusation. She struggled to understand how Matt could think this and seemed frustrated that she even had to defend herself. According to reports, she refused to justify herself further and was in disbelief that Dane’s name was brought into the conversation.
Matt’s reaction was mixed with fear and anger. He became emotional, worrying about how “stupid” he would look if the baby was not his. Surprisingly, he also said that if Matilda turned out to be Dane’s child, he would feel “relieved”. He described this as a way to no longer be chained to Jasmine, whom he called a “demon”. However, he also feared that even if he is the father, his difficult relationship with Jasmine would mean he gets “dragged through some bull****” forever.
The Troubled Background of Matt and Jasmine’s Relationship
This paternity scare is the latest crisis in a relationship that has been unstable from the start. Earlier in the season, Matt admitted that he had been seeing another woman named Elizabeth during the first few weeks of his relationship with Jasmine. Their arrangement was described as an “open marriage” at the beginning.
Their issues were also clear during the Tell All. At one point, after seeing Jasmine talk with her ex-fiancé Gino, Matt made a shocking comment. He offered to “share” Jasmine with Gino, asking if Gino wanted “shared visitations”. Jasmine was clearly upset by this remark and told Matt to shut up. This ongoing tension and lack of trust set the stage for the dramatic paternity question.
