90 Day Fiancéhas featured several cast members who have beencalled out for willingly leaving their childrenfor better futures in the U.S. Since its premiere in 2014, the90 Day Fiancéfranchise has introduced fansto different love stories with couples from all across the world. Most of these stories end up with the international partner moving to America, and it often comes at the cost of them leaving behind their entire lives at home.
Moving while using a K-1 or spousal visa means they can’t immediately get their loved ones to the States. At times,90 Day Fiancé’s Jasmine Pinedaand other stars have kids who they, unfortunately, have to be separated from for indefinite amounts of time. That’s why fans have often wondered if some cast memberschose their new relationships over their childrenout of selfishness. There have been somecontroversial90 Day Fiancéstarswho seemed to put themselves first.
Larissa Lima
Where Are Larissa’s Kids Now?
Larissa from Brazil had met Colt Johnson online, and they decided to meet in person in Cancun, Mexico on a vacation. After spending just five days in person in that country, Larissa and Colt knew they wanted to get married. Colt proposed to Larissa, and she came to the U.S. on90 Day Fiancéseason 6 on a K-1 visa. Interestingly,Larissa had not even told Colt Johnson’s mom, Debbie Johnson, that she had two children. Larissa’s past had been a mystery until then. It was not until90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?season 4 that Larissa opened up.
“How will I explain to you that I have kids in Brazil?”
Larissa later made a YouTube video where she revealed she had two kids, Luane and Arry. Larissa’s family, including her father and mother, took care of Luane. She claimed she helped her daughter every time she had extra money. Larissa’s father said shedidn’t need to worry about Luane’s school fees.Meanwhile, her son Arry resided with his aunt in Brazil. Larissa’s father is a retired military man, and she said he and his wife are good grandparents. She added that they have a lot of time for Luane. Luane and Arry were both born to Larissa from different relationships.
“I talk to them every day on WhatsApp and I plan to bring her to live with us.”
As of 2024, Larissa’s kids are still not with her in the U.S. It doesn’t look like she plans to bring them to her either. Larissa’s statement about wanting to see her kids was made six years ago, andshe’s not even gone to Brazilto see them herself since she came to the U.S.90 Day Fiancéfans give Larissa a lot of flak for abandoning her kids. Larissa had assured fans that she is going to share photos and videos when she visits her kids, or if they come to live with her in the U.S.
Jasmine Pineda
Jasmine Accused Gino Of Messing Up Her Kids' Immigration
Like Larissa, Jasmine is also known for her anger issues, her constant fights with her partner, and her obsession with cosmetic procedures. Another thing that’s common between Larissa and Jasmine is that they both have two kids, whom they left in their home countries when they moved to the U.S. Jasmine had two sons from her first marriage to an unnamed man. They are namedJuance and JC and both are turning 13 soon. Jasmine has revealed that her son JC was born with special needs. She chose not to have kids with Gino Palazzolo.
“I should have never dragged my kids into this.”
Jasmine had shared custody of the two boys and decided to bring them to the U.S. with her after getting permission from their dad. However, Jasmine realized that was not going to happen when Gino revealed he had included their names in her K-1 visa application. It was going totake up to two years (not six months)for her childrens' visas to be approved because of Gino’s mistake. He was also not ready to pay the fees to an immigration attorney to fast-track the process.
Right now, Jasmine might not want her sons to be living with her and Matt at his apartment. She’s been living there since Gino kicked her out.
It has been almost two years since Jasmine has seen her kids. Jasmine has a green card now, but still hasn’t flown back home as she’d said she wanted to. Maybe she never planned to have them with her. Jasmine has a new boyfriend in Michigan. After her split with Gino, she is free to explore any glamorous career she sets her sights on.
