Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh’s relationship faced skepticism from the get-go. He used a fake name and photo when they met online in 2011. He eventually came clean, she forgave him and moved to India to be with him. However, his mother didn’t accept her for a long time. The 90 Day Fiance star was diagnosed with ALS in late 2025. Now wheelchair-bound, she shared an update on her life right now.
Jenny Slatten Shares Heartbreaking Health Update
When Jenny Slatten began having problems swallowing and noticing changes in her voice, she went to the doctor. She wasn’t expecting a life-changing diagnosis.
