In the latest episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, aired on July 13, Gino found himself facing an emotional ultimatum from his new love interest, Natalie.
After revealing the truth about his open marriage to Jasmine, Gino is forced to confront his feelings and make a difficult decision: pick Natalie or continue his relationship with Jasmine.
Gino’s Honest Confession to Natalie
While in Las Vegas, Gino took the opportunity to share the truth about his marriage to Jasmine with Natalie, his new romantic interest. Initially, Gino was reluctant to reveal the full extent of his situation, but eventually admitted that he and Jasmine had an open marriage, a fact that had been kept from Natalie until now. This revelation shocked Natalie, leaving her feeling hurt and confused.
Natalie made it clear that she wanted no part of being a “third party” in Gino’s open marriage. She expressed her concern, saying she didn’t want to be used as a pawn between Gino and Jasmine, and emphasized, “I don’t want to be part of something or be a third party to anything.”
To move forward, Natalie gave Gino an ultimatum: he had to choose between her and Jasmine. She demanded that he make it clear to Jasmine that their relationship was over if that wasn’t already understood.
Gino’s Conflicted Feelings
Gino, however, was still processing his emotions. Though he shared a strong connection with Natalie and had a “heavenly” experience during their time together, he was still torn. In a confessional, he admitted that he hadn’t been this close to a woman in a long time, adding that he was “driven crazy” by Natalie’s presence.
Yet, deep down, he knew he had to address his unresolved situation with Jasmine, who he had been married to, despite their struggles.
In earlier moments of the episode, Gino had confided in Natalie about his rocky relationship with Jasmine, including the fact that they hadn’t had intimacy for a while and that he felt the need for a deeper connection. Natalie, who admitted to having an instant attraction to Gino, sympathized with him, even though the open marriage was more than she had bargained for.
Jasmine Learns the Truth
Back home, Jasmine was also facing heartbreak. During a conversation with Michelle, the wife of Gino’s cousin, Jasmine revealed that she felt the open marriage idea was a mistake.
She was emotionally struggling with Gino’s actions, especially when she learned that he had been seeing someone else online. Michelle dropped a bombshell, telling Jasmine that Gino had traveled to Las Vegas to meet a woman who looked “exactly like her.”
Jasmine was stunned, and her pain intensified when she admitted that Gino had blocked her everywhere except email. She tearfully reflected on how she felt, saying, “Loving Gino is the worst thing that ever happened to me,” before adding, “He doesn’t give a s— about me, and he’s just living his best life.”
Natalie’s Ultimatum and Gino’s Dilemma
As Gino spent more time with Natalie, he could see how uncomfortable she was with his situation. Natalie pressed him for clarity, wanting to know whether he was truly ready to commit to her and make a decision about his marriage with Jasmine.
Gino eventually admitted that, technically, he was still in an open marriage with Jasmine, but he wanted to prioritize his connection with Natalie.
Natalie, understandably, was hurt by Gino’s failure to mention the open marriage earlier in their relationship. She expressed her disappointment, telling him that he should have been upfront about the situation from the start.
In their emotional conversation, she told Gino that if he truly wanted to be with her, he needed to close the chapter with Jasmine and move on completely.
Gino Faces His Future
As Gino left for the airport, still unsure about what to do, he reflected on the difficult decision ahead. In his confessional, he admitted, “I really don’t know what to do,” acknowledging the weight of the situation. If he chose divorce and moved forward with Natalie, he knew that there would be no turning back.
Natalie’s request for closure was clear: Gino needed to choose between his past with Jasmine and his future with her.
The episode ended with an emotional goodbye between Gino and Natalie, and Gino’s journey to make a final decision about his future is just beginning. As he faces his complicated relationship with Jasmine, Gino must decide whether to continue in an open marriage or take the leap into something new with Natalie.
