‘90 Day Fiancé' Star Reveals ALS Diagnosis: ‘We Are Open to Any Kind of Help'
90 Day Fiancé star Jenny Slatten just revealed she was diagnosed with ALS.
The reality star, 68, rose to stardom on the hit TLC series and The Other Way, which features "Americans who move overseas to risk it all for love." While she found love with husband Sumit Singh, 38, she's now battling the disease.
In an Instagram post featuring Slatten standing alongside her husband, she spoke candidly about how she came to decide to reveal her diagnosis.
"With a heavy heart we wanted to share a news with all of you guys. That, there was a rumor that I had a stroke, but it turned out to be ALS. At first, we tried to keep it private because it's been very emotional and overwhelming for us. We were hoping to find some kind of solution before speaking publicly. But after trying for some time, we feel like it's time to reach out," Slatten shared. "Thank you so much for all the love and support. Right now, we are open to any kind of help - treatments, clinical trials, lifestyle changes, or anything that could help treat this disease or slow down its progression."
When Did Slatten Start Having Symptoms?
In an interview with PEOPLE, Slatten received her diagnosis of ALS in December 2025, one year after she started developing symptoms. Her first symptom appeared in December 2024 when she choked "badly" while drinking water, according to her husband. Soon after, she began to suffer from painful migraines and struggled to swallow pills.
Now, the couple is taking all the right steps as they move forward.
"We're doing what we can," Slatten told the publication.
Slatten revealed her diagnosis ahead of her appearance on season 3 of 90 Day: The Last Resort. The show premieres June 1.

What is ALS?
ALS is a progressive disease in which a person's brain loses connection with the muscles, slowly taking away their ability to walk, talk, eat and eventually breathe, according to the ALS Association. While there is still no cure or treatment that halts progression, new treatments are helping to slow and ease symptoms.
