In a heartbreaking announcement, ’90 Day Fiancé’ star Jenny Slatten has revealed that she has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The 68-year-old reality star shared the news with PEOPLE, detailing how she learned of her diagnosis in December 2025, about a year after she first started experiencing concerning symptoms.
The Journey to Diagnosis
Jenny and her husband, Sumit Singh, are now focused on finding treatment options and supporting each other as they adjust to this life-altering news. Sumit recalled the initial warning signs, including Jenny choking while drinking water in late 2024 and later struggling to swallow pills. At first, they suspected an infection, but as Jenny’s speech began to slow, their concerns grew.
The reality star admitted, “I knew something was wrong.” Her changing speech patterns didn’t go unnoticed by fans during a ’90 Day Fiancé’ holiday event in New York City, where viewers online commented that her symptoms resembled those of ALS. This prompted Sumit to research the disease, leading to growing alarm.
Confirmation and Emotional Support
Upon returning to India, Jenny consulted with several neurologists. The medical professionals eventually confirmed the early signs of ALS. Jenny described the moment of confirmation as incredibly difficult, sharing, “We cried and held each other.” It’s a testament to their strong bond that they are facing this challenge together.
Despite the gravity of the diagnosis, Jenny and Sumit are determined to focus on spending quality time together and taking life one day at a time. Their commitment to each other and their positive outlook are truly inspiring as they navigate this difficult chapter.
