90 Day Fiancé alum Jenny Slatten’s husband, Sumit Singh, is opening up about her ongoing ALS battle.
“Unfortunately, the ALS is progressing and now it’s starting showing more in her talking, like, it’s hard for her to talk now,” Sumit, 37, said in an Instagram video shared Sunday, August 30, after Jenny, 68, noted that she “can’t talk” much due to her illness.
Jenny and Sumit, who said “I do” on 2021’s season 3 finale of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, announced in May that she had been diagnosed with ALS, a degenerative nervous system disease that often leads to worsening muscle weakness. To date, there is no known cure.
In the couple’s Saturday update, Sumit noted that Jenny’s balance and ability to walk have also been affected.
“Earlier, she was doing good,” he said, noting that Jenny was diagnosed in December 2025. “It’s progressing, but we were thinking that we’d come to America … if we can get proper treatment. I always keep my hopes high, and I feel that America might have something better for Jenny and she can get at least a better support system.”
Jenny had relocated from the United States to Sumit’s native India when they got married. According to the TLC star, local Indian doctors and hospitals don’t have comparable studies or experience with the disease.
“It is getting weaker,” Sumit acknowledged, hoping that Jenny will soon receive a better and more robust “support system” as her symptoms progress. “Our plan was … to get the visa, and I’ll travel with Jenny and go [to America] and start the treatment.”
Sumit claimed that he has not yet been approved to receive a visa to the U.S., which is the reason why his wife hasn’t traveled back on her own to begin a treatment protocol.
“If I don’t get the visa, it means that we will be apart forever,” he speculated. “This is a reason Jenny doesn’t want to go to America without me.”
Jenny, for her part, noted that India is “my home” and that she didn’t want to leave the country without her spouse by her side.
“We love each other, and obviously, I want Jenny to start getting treated and I want Jenny to start feeling better or at least [have] a support system that makes [her] at least feel like, not, struggle every day,” Sumit said. “If [our relationship and medical plans] are not enough for the embassy in order for me to get a visa, I don’t know whatever situation or condition I will ever be approved.”
After watching fellow 90 Day alum Armando Neidermeier-Rubio “get help” in order to secure a visa, Sumit and Jenny are similarly asking for support. (Armando struggled to receive a medical visa to travel to the U.S. from Mexico after his 13-year-old daughter’s health scare. An immigration lawyer ultimately helped arrange the proper documents before his child’s recovery.)
“We’re sharing our appeal, what we’re asking for, and how you can help us during this difficult time,” Sumit’s caption read.
