Jenny Slatten, whose love story with her husband Sumit Singh unfolded in 2019 on the show «90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way», - announced her diagnosis of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) in an emotional social media post in May 2026. She was diagnosed with this neurodegenerative disease, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, last year.
Fans speculated that Jenny had suffered a stroke in 2025, prompting her to clarify the situation in her statement.
«With a heavy heart, we wanted to share the news with all of you», - Jenny wrote in her Instagram post. «There were rumors that I had a stroke, but it actually turned out to be ALS. At first, we tried to keep this a secret because it was very emotional and overwhelming for us».
She added that she and her husband «hoped to find some solution before speaking about it publicly», - and wrote, «But after some attempts, we feel it’s time to reach out for help».
«Thank you so much for all the love and support», - she continued, adding, «We are now open to any assistance—treatment, clinical trials, lifestyle changes, or anything that could help in treating this disease or slowing its progression».
Here’s what we know about ALS and what Jenny’s diagnosis means for her overall health.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects how nerve cells interact with muscles, according to the Cleveland Clinic. This condition impacts a person’s ability to speak, move, and even breathe.
Unfortunately, there is no cure for ALS, but there are various treatments that can help slow the progression of the disease.
Sadly, ALS is a terminal illness. Eric Dane, an actor known for his roles in «Euphoria» and «Grey's Anatomy», - passed away from ALS in February 2026.
No, Jenny did not suffer a stroke, as she explained in her Instagram post in May 2026. She confirmed that the rumors were purely speculative.
Unfortunately, Jenny’s health is deteriorating. Her husband, Sumit, told People magazine that he noticed back in late 2024 that she began to struggle for breath even when drinking water and had difficulty swallowing pills.
Sumit and Jenny eventually noticed that her speech started to slow down, which is a common symptom of the disease.
