Jenny Slatten, known for her role in the reality TV series 90 Day Fiancé, has revealed she was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in December 2025, a year after first experiencing symptoms. The 68-year-old shared the news on Instagram, stating that initial rumours of a stroke were incorrect.
ALS, also called Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a form of motor neurone disease affecting the brain and spinal cord, leading to progressive loss of movement, speech, and independence. Slatten and her husband Sumit Singh, 38, told People magazine they are exploring treatments and clinical trials to slow the disease's progression.
Slatten first noticed symptoms in December 2024 when she choked while drinking water. She later developed difficulty swallowing and speech problems, including avoiding conversations. Her husband observed her speech slowing during a holiday party in December 2025, prompting concerns from fans on social media.
The couple consulted several neurologists in India, where Slatten received her diagnosis. Singh described the progression as 'slow'. Slatten's father died from ALS a decade ago. The couple married in 2021 and are set to appear in the upcoming season of 90 Day: The Last Resort.
Slatten is the latest TV personality to disclose an ALS diagnosis, following actor Russell Andrews, who revealed his condition last week, and Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane, who died in February 2025 after announcing his diagnosis in April 2024.
