Season 2 of 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort aired episode 5, The Last Rodeo, on Monday, December 30, 2024. It featured Jasmine taking matters into her own hands and suggesting an open marriage to Gino to fulfill her intimate needs. However, Gino was not keen on letting a third person get involved in their marriage, deeming Jasmine's proposal a "dealbreaker."
During the therapy session, Jasmine discussed how Gino failed to meet her physical expectations, stressing the importance of intimacy for the sustenance of their marriage. She hoped Gino would reciprocate her feelings so they could consolidate their relationship. However, upon witnessing Gino's lack of effort, Jasmine wondered if an open marriage would help her case.
The intimacy coach advised Gino to get closer to Jasmine if he did not want to be part of an open marriage. However, he struggled to mend his ways, upsetting Jasmine. 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort fans took to X to comment on the couple's situation. While some criticized Jasmine's idea, others disapproved of Gino's treatment of Jasmine.
"I honestly feel bad for Gino. Talk about a new way to emasculate him. Bring up her needs her desires and point out once again how Gino can't rise to her needs. Adding a 3rd in a fragile marriage is not the right answer. Open marriage is not the answer," a fan wrote.
"I understand Gino not wanting an open marriage. But I also understand Jasmine," another fan commented.
"Gino is being selfish.. Jasmine is at least looking for solutions.." a netizen tweeted.
Many 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort fans sympathized with Gino, disapproving of Jasmine's open marriage idea.
"Even Gino's hat looked sad when Jasmine said that she was okay with an open marriage," a user reacted.
"An open marriage? Did Jasmine forget how jealous she can be?" a person commented.
"The look on Jasmine’s face when Gino says an open marriage is a deal breaker. It’s clear she’s already got someone on the side (at this point) and Gino just isn’t aware of it" another fan wrote.
At the same time, other 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort fans criticized Gino's lack of effort, urging him to let Jasmine go.
"Why is Gino squirming every time Jasmine touches him? Its like he is a 13 year old boy. Gino, get it together. You are someones husband," one user posted.
"I wonder why Gino stays with Jasmine if he doesn’t even want her," a person reacted.
"Ok so Gino doesn’t want to give her s*x but doesn’t want her to have s*x with anyone else and won’t just divorce her. Gino, what do you want?" another netizen commented.
"This is crazy" — 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort star Gino reacts to Jasmine's open marriage suggestion
Gino immediately expressed his disapproval when Jasmine revealed she wanted an open marriage. The 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort star feared Jasmine's involvement with the other person might turn into a permanent affair, something he did not want in his marriage. Upon hearing that Jasmine said:
"I still want you as my husband but there are certain needs that are not satisfied, and I don't see I will ever get them satisfied from you."
While speaking to the cameras, Jasmine revealed that she had been thinking about open marriage for weeks. Although she loved Gino, she was upset to be the only one bothered by their lack of intimacy.

She stated that a couple had to have transparent communication and the willingness to resolve conflict to prevent the presence of a third person from affecting their relationship. She feared Gino and Jasmine were not there yet.
"This is crazy. Where did this open marriage s**t come from? We're trying to work on ourselves and now Jasmine is talking about having s*x with a completely different other person? What the f**k is that? Open marriage is not for me. I'm not an open marriage kinda guy," Gino confessed.
When the 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort cast member struggled to get close to Jasmine, despite Reba's advice, Jasmine called him "selfish" and criticized him for jeopardizing their marriage.
