Fans of 90 Day Fiancé are rallying around Jenny Slatten after she shared some devastating news. On May 19, 2026, Jenny, with her husband Sumit Singh by her side, went public with her ALS diagnosis Lou Gehrig’s disease, ending months of questions and rumors about her health. The past year, people noticed something was wrong. Jenny’s appearance had changed, her speech was different, and speculation online kept growing. With her announcement, Jenny hopes to set the record straight and start focusing on finding expert care and raising awareness about this tough disease.
This is a huge shift for Jenny and Sumit. People first fell in love with them back in 2019 on TLC’s The Other Way. Their story was full of obstacles, big age gap, families who weren’t on board, all the messiness that comes with building a life together far from home. Now, instead of outside pressures, they’re dealing with a brutal illness head-on, pulling from the same strength that got them through so much before.
When Things Started to Change
Everything began in December 2024. Out of nowhere, Jenny started choking just from drinking a glass of water. Not long after, she got hit with constant migraines and found it harder and harder to swallow pills or vitamins. At first, she thought these issues were minor, maybe a regular illness. Local doctors in India treated her for what they thought was a simple infection. Meds helped a bit, but nothing really got better.
Signs Grow Harder to Ignore
By late 2025, you couldn’t miss that something serious was happening. During a trip to New York for a 90 Day Fiancé event, fans watching interviews online noticed her speech was much slower and a little slurred. Theories flew around online: maybe she’d had a stroke, maybe she’d been in the hospital. Jenny’s daughter Christina tried to reassure people, but behind the scenes, the family was searching for answers. Oddly enough, help came from the comments section. One viewer suggested her speech sounded like ALS. Sumit started researching, realized the symptoms matched Jenny’s exactly, and their focus shifted fast.
Facing a Family Curse
This hit especially hard because ALS runs in Jenny’s family, her own father died from it about ten years ago. With about 10% of ALS cases being hereditary, that fact weighed heavy on everyone’s minds. Back in India, they saw multiple specialists, looking for a concrete answer. For a while, doctors thought maybe Jenny had a small blood clot or had even suffered a minor stroke. Only after getting a second expert opinion, and with more advanced tests, did they get the confirmation they dreaded: ALS.
Searching for Next Steps and Hope
After getting the diagnosis in December 2025, Jenny and Sumit took some time to process things on their own before talking to the world. Now, they’re being open with their followers about what’s going on. They’re exploring alternative treatments, clinical trials, and lifestyle changes that might slow down the disease. Jenny told her followers, “There were rumors about a stroke, but it’s ALS. At first, we kept things private, it’s been emotional and overwhelming. We were hoping to find answers before sharing this publicly. But now, it’s time to reach out.”
Doctors say the disease’s progression has been slower than usual, which gives Jenny’s family precious time to explore options. She’s getting genetic testing to see if she’s eligible for some of the latest therapies, and she’s connecting with support groups online to stay on top of any new developments.
Choosing to Stay in India
Jenny and Sumit have decided to stay in India. They’re not letting this diagnosis steal the routines and small joys they’ve built together. They’re asking people to treat them just like before. Friends, family, fans, and even fellow TLC cast members have been pouring in with support, admiring how Jenny and Sumit are handling everything with honesty and unity.
Looking ahead to their appearance on the next season of 90 Day: The Last Resort, the couple’s story means more than ever. By sharing their journey so openly, they’re teaching people about ALS and showing the world that, even when life throws its worst at you, honesty and sticking together can still make a difference.
