'90 Day Fiancé' Star Jenny Slatten Battles ALS While Family Fights Visa Process to Unite with Her Caregiver Husband

Reality TV took a backseat to real life this year when’90 Day Fiancé’star Jenny Slatten was diagnosed with ALS in May 2026. ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurological disease that affects muscle function and gets worse over time. For Jenny, it means dealing with symptoms that have been building for over a year while also figuring out how to get the medical care she needs in the United States.

The catch is that Jenny’s currently in India with her husband Sumit Singh, who’s been her full-time caregiver. Her doctors have made it clear that she cannot travel alone on long flights due to her condition, which means Sumit needs to be with her. Jenny’s daughter Christina recently shared that the family has started an emergency tourist visa application to bring Sumit to the U.S.—not a green card, which would take years, but a faster tourist visa route. They’re now waiting for the Indian consulate to schedule Sumit’s visa appointment, with no confirmed timeline yet. Christina asked fans to send prayers and positive energy their way, acknowledging there are no guarantees in the process.

This situation highlights how real-world complications can hit families facing serious health challenges, especially when international relationships are involved. For Jenny and her family, the focus isn’t on reality TV storylines anymore—it’s about getting through a difficult medical journey together.
