Jenny Slatten is facing new challenges as her ALS progresses, with husband Sumit Singh saying the disease has increasingly affected her speech and mobility.
The 90 Day Fiancé couple shared an update on Instagram on August 30, with Slatten telling Singh she could not talk when he asked whether she wanted to speak on camera.
“No, I can’t talk,” Slatten replied slowly.
Sumit Singh says Jenny Slatten’s ALS has progressed and is now making it difficult for her to speak
Singh, 38, explained that Slatten, 68, has been struggling more with communication as her condition advances.
“Unfortunately, the ALS is progressing, and now it’s starting [to show] more in her talk, like, it’s hard for her to talk now,” he said.
The 90 Day Fiancé star said the disease has also affected Slatten’s ability to walk and maintain her balance. Singh believes declining strength in her neck, back and spine has made everyday movement increasingly difficult.
The couple learned about Slatten’s diagnosis in December 2025, roughly one year after she first developed symptoms.
Singh previously said her earliest warning sign came in December 2024, when she choked while drinking water. She later experienced migraines, difficulty swallowing pills and slower speech. Slatten eventually began avoiding conversations as her symptoms worsened.
The couple is now also dealing with uncertainty over where Slatten can receive treatment.
Singh said they hope to travel to the United States because they believe she could potentially access better treatment there. However, his visa application has not yet been approved.
The situation has created another concern for the couple. Singh said Slatten does not want to travel to the U.S. without him because they fear her condition could deteriorate enough to prevent her from returning to India.
“This is a reason why Jenny [doesn’t] want to go to America without me,” Singh explained.
He said they worry a denied visa could potentially leave them “apart forever.”
Singh and Slatten have asked followers for help connecting with an immigration lawyer or specialist who might assist with an emergency travel option.
Despite the progression of her illness, Slatten previously said she did not want people treating her differently.
“Let’s just live our life as we have been while we can,” she said.
