90 Day Fiancé Star Jenny Slatten Reveals ALS Diagnosis

When your body starts sending signals something’s seriously wrong, ignoring them isn’t really an option—even if you’re hoping it’ll go away on its own. That’s the reality 90 Day Fiancé star Jenny Slatten and her husband Sumit Singh have been grappling with since late 2024, when Jenny began experiencing symptoms that would eventually lead to a diagnosis that hits especially close to home.

It started small. Jenny found herself choking on water and struggling to swallow pills—the kind of symptoms you might initially brush off as a fluke. But then her speech began to noticeably slow, and by the time a holiday interview aired last year, fans watching at home started picking up on something being off. Speculation swirled that she’d suffered a stroke. The couple, who live in India, finally pursued answers after months of growing concern, and in December, specialists confirmed what they’d come to dread: Jenny has ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease—a progressive neurological disorder with no known cure.

The diagnosis carries an additional weight for Jenny because her own father died from ALS years ago. When she and Sumit got the news, they broke down. Yet here’s what’s worth noting: doctors have indicated her disease progression has been slow, which counts as something to hold onto when facing such a devastating condition. The couple kept the diagnosis private initially, trying to find solutions before going public, but they eventually decided speaking openly might lead to treatment ideas or support they hadn’t yet discovered.

Jenny insists she’s staying positive and doesn’t want people treating her differently, while Sumit says the ordeal has strengthened their bond. Despite the heavy circumstances, life moves forward. The two are set to appear on Season 3 of 90 Day: The Last Resort, premiering June 1, as Jenny navigates her diagnosis in real time. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most personal battles don’t pause for cameras—they just become part of the story being told.
