The fourth part of the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Tell All aired on November 30, 2025, on TLC, and contained a wild moment when Matt suddenly asked if baby Matilda was even his. Everyone just froze, Jasmine got super mad, and honestly, it was a lot to watch.

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? basically follows couples dealing with married life after the whole K-1 visa thing, and the Tell All episodes are where everyone comes back to fight about everything they didn’t finish fighting about during the season. While trying to explain himself, Matt stated that he was unsure about the kid because of things from Jasmine's past, such as her former neighbor, Dane from Panama, who allegedly moved to New York, as well as her occasional solo travels and all of their squabbling. So, yes, it evolved into this big chaotic scene, and I spaced out in the middle of it, but the whole thing made their relationship appear incredibly unstable when the kid was delivered.


90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?: What triggered Matt’s doubts about the paternity?

Matt's suspicions centered on several factors that accumulated over time. He revealed on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? that Jasmine had taken multiple trips to New York alone, leaving him behind without clear explanations. During these absences, Matt noticed Jasmine behaving unusually. He described her demeanor as "funny" and became increasingly suspicious about her activities.

The situation intensified when Jasmine mentioned that Dane had moved to New York. Dane previously lived near Jasmine in Panama before she relocated to the United States. Matt connected these details and began questioning the timeline. He also pointed to Matilda's appearance, specifically mentioning the baby's blonde hair. This physical characteristic apparently didn't align with Matt's expectations, fueling his uncertainty.

Other 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? cast members contributed to the speculation. Jovi openly questioned Matilda's paternity during the Tell All and suggested in a confessional that Matt should have requested a paternity test immediately after the birth. Matt brought up his concerns directly during the reunion taping. He questioned Jasmine in front of the entire cast about the possibility that someone else could be Matilda's father.

Jasmine got mad right away and basically yelled at Matt for saying something that serious on TV in front of everyone. She wanted to know why he would even do that, and the whole thing got louder and more awkward while Matt tried to explain. He said he felt stuck no matter what, like there was no good ending for him.

Matt said that if Matilda wasn’t his kid, he’d feel totally lied to and embarrassed. But if she were his kid, then he said he’d still be pulled into all their drama forever. He even said it felt “unbearable” and that being with Jasmine was like being “chained to a demon,” which was a lot. It honestly made it super clear that they can’t stand each other at all anymore. Earlier in the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? episode, Jasmine basically said she never wanted to be with Matt anyway, and their relationship was already falling apart even though they had a baby. Then someone asked her if she still liked her ex-husband, Gino, which made everything even weirder given the timing.

Later, Jasmine and Gino had this emotional conversation about her reminding him about their time in Panama and the vows he read to her. She said she really loved him and thought he loved her too, but everything changed after she came to America. And that’s also when I suddenly remembered I left my snack in the kitchen, but the drama kept going.

Gino said he felt used, and he even hinted that Jasmine obtained her green card through their marriage and then went off to be with a guy almost twenty years younger, which was a lot. He observed her happier with Matt than she ever seemed with him.


What was the aftermath?

Matt's public accusations created tension that extended beyond just him and Jasmine. The entire 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? cast reacted to the confrontation, with various members offering opinions and taking sides. The paternity matter remained unanswered as of the Tell All recording. Neither Matt nor Jasmine confirmed whether a paternity test had been performed or was planned.

The confrontation highlighted fundamental trust issues within their relationship that existed well before Matilda's birth. Matt's willingness to question paternity publicly suggests the relationship may be beyond repair, regardless of test results.
