’90 Day Fiancé’ star Jenny Slatten gives update on ALS progression after announcing diagnosis

“90 Day Fiancé” star Jenny Slatten shared a positive update on her health after revealing her amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis.

“I’m still able to walk around and Sumit is still allowed to smile,” she wrote atop a selfie of her and her husband, Sumit Singh, on her Instagram Stories Wednesday.

The couple appeared to be in high spirits as they continue to seek out treatment for the disease that is currently incurable.

In a joint interview with People on Tuesday, Slatten, 68, and Singh, 38, detailed the horrifying symptoms she experienced before one year before receiving the final diagnosis in December 2025.

The first one they noticed was her difficulty swallowing, and shared that she once choked “badly” while drinking water.

The TLC star then began to have trouble swallowing pills and started experiencing migraines.

Although her condition seemed to improve slightly for a short period of time, they told the outlet that their concern grew once again when her speech became noticeably slower.

“That’s when we knew something was wrong,” Slatten said.

Shortly before she received her diagnosis, she traveled from India to New York City for a “90 Day Fiancé” holiday party.

After watching her interview, several fans of the show expressed concern for her health, with one suggesting that she get tested for the disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, as well as loss of mobility and speech, per the Mayo Clinic.

Slatten’s father, notably, had died of ALS more than a decade ago.

“We cried and held each other,” Slatten recalled of the moment they learned of her diagnosis, which has left them both “scared” for what their future will look like.

Doctors have told the pair — who first appeared on “90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way” in 2019 and have been fan favorites ever since — that the progression of Slatten’s ALS “is slow.” 

She decided to go public with her diagnosis months later in hopes “maybe somebody will come forward with something” that could help her.

“I don’t want to be treated any different,” Slatten insisted. “Let’s just live our life as we have been while we can.”

As they navigate this difficult stage of life, Slatten and Singh have been leaning on each other for support.

“Honestly, I never felt this much love, or I can love anyone this much,” Singh gushed. “I used to … live for myself. But from [the] last so many years, I feel like doing [things] for someone who you love gives you happiness, I think that’s what love is. And that’s why we do things for each other, and that’s what make each other happy.”

The couple’s continued love story will play out on Season 3 of “90 Day: The Last Resort,” which premieres June 1 at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
