Gino Palazzolo’s Dating Status Has Fans at War: Team Lexi vs. Team Solo

The divorce is final. Gino Palazzolo, 56, is officially done with Jasmine Pineda — and in a twist nobody saw coming, she is the one sending him $500 a month for 40 months, starting July 1, 2026: $20,000 in spousal support, on top of the Canton, Michigan house and the 2015 Ford Explorer he kept. His rep told Us Weekly the marriage took a heavy mental toll and Gino finally feels relieved. But the fandom barely paused for congratulations before moving to the real debate: who is next? Half the internet is Team Lexi. The other half says stay single for good. And nobody is keeping quiet about it.

The “Troll” Breakup That Ended the Natalie Era
Let us recap how we got here. 90 Day: The Single Life Season 5, which premiered February 9, 2026, saw Gino reconnect with Natalie, 53, in Washington D.C. He stopped texting other women and seemed genuinely invested. Then came the phone call that killed it: Natalie’s daughter Bella reportedly called him a “troll,” and the relationship never recovered. Gino broke up with Natalie over video call and suggested they stay friends. Natalie fired back that he never really tried — and the two clashed over kids, with Gino still open to fatherhood. It was an abrupt end to a season-long storyline, and it left Gino single again before the ink on his divorce was even dry.

The Lexi Question the Tell All Wouldn’t Answer
Enter Lexi. The 30-year-old single mother showed up in the final episode of Season 5, meeting Gino at a bar where she was famously carded. Sparks were visible on screen — but the Tell All dodged the one question fans actually wanted answered: was Gino already messaging Lexi before he ended things with Natalie? His answers were evasive, and all he admitted to was a kiss. According to reports, Lexi was still living with the father of her child at the time. By May 2026, the two were still following each other on Instagram, yet there were no couple photos and no confirmation of any relationship. Which is why the honest answer to “Are Gino and Lexi dating?” remains: nobody can verify it. Team Lexi is running entirely on hope — and a pretty good first impression.

Why Team Solo Is Winning the Comments
And honestly? Team Solo has the stronger case. The divorce took effect June 26, 2026, after Gino filed in Michigan; Jasmine reportedly could not even locate him to serve the papers and had to publish the notice in a newspaper. Gino says he spent over $75,000 on the relationship. He told Swooon he wants a woman who respects, appreciates, and admires him, and still believes he will find true love and become a father. This is his second divorce (the first, to Denise, ended in 2013). After the humiliation of the open-marriage storyline — Jasmine dating Matt Branistareanu and welcoming daughter Matilda in March 2025 while still married — a quiet Michigan life of engineering work and festivals with friends looks like winning. Team Solo’s argument: a man who finally gets paid should not rush to give it all away again.
What His Instagram Actually Shows
The receipts, as always, are on Instagram. Gino’s account @gpalazz2 shows a September 2026 outing at the Arts, Beats & Eats festival in Royal Oak, Michigan — relaxed, smiling, surrounded by friends. What it does not show: a girlfriend. No couple photos, no cryptic captions, no confirmation of anything with Lexi. According to reports, his dating status is simply unverified right now, and the man seems in no hurry to clarify. That silence is exactly why the fan war rages on — when there are no answers, everyone gets to have an opinion.
So here we are: the divorce is final, the support checks are rolling in, and Gino Palazzolo is the most eligible free agent in the 90 Day Fiancé universe. Should he give Lexi a real shot, or is this his era to stay single and unbothered?
