90 Day Fiance: Jenny And Summit Accused Of Faking ALS Diagnosis

90 Day Fiancé stars Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh have been fan favorites on the reality dating series for years.

Jenny and Sumit first appeared together on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 1, which aired in 2019.

Despite all odds and their significant age difference, the controversial couple has remained together since their reality TV debut.

Now, the 90 Day Fiancé stars are back in the headlines, and not for a good reason.

Jenny and Sumit recently spoke out to set the record straight after critics questioned Jenny’s health following their vacation in Goa, India.

Key Takeaways

• Jenny was diagnosed with ALS in December 2025.
• Jenny and Sumit recently vacationed in Goa.
• Some online critics questioned her illness.
• Sumit defended his wife’s right to enjoy life.
• Jenny’s ALS diagnosis has been publicly confirmed.

Jenny Slatten’s ALS Diagnosis

In late 2025, Jenny and Sumit learned that she was suffering from ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

ALS is a progressive neurological disease that damages nerve cells responsible for voluntary muscle movement. Over time, it can affect a person’s ability to walk, speak, swallow, and breathe.

Jenny publicly revealed her diagnosis in May 2026 after experiencing symptoms for more than a year.

As Soap Opera Spy previously reported about Jenny’s health crisis and Sumit’s visa struggles, the couple has been exploring ways for Jenny to receive additional medical care in the United States.

90 Day Fiancé fans were quick to go on social media and send the couple well wishes.

However, some internet critics began questioning the seriousness of Jenny’s illness, despite her confirmed diagnosis.

Recently, the couple went on vacation, and accusations about Jenny exaggerating or faking her health problems began circulating again.

Is Jenny Slatten Faking ALS?

When the couple began posing for social media photos in Goa this month, they received an unexpected response from some fans.

Viewers questioned why Jenny would be vacationing if she was seriously ill.

However, a person living with ALS can still travel or enjoy activities, depending on their symptoms and abilities. A vacation is not evidence that someone is faking the disease.

Jenny and Sumit have also been open about the challenges she faces as her symptoms progress.

In another Soap Opera Spy report about Jenny’s worsening ALS symptoms and Sumit’s role as her caregiver, the couple’s difficult circumstances were highlighted.

Sumit was quick to defend his wife on social media.

“We are in Goa. It’s like a vacation,” he explained.

He added that a vacation can offer emotional relief and that Jenny should still be able to smile, laugh, and enjoy being at the beach without being criticized.

Sumit also explained that Jenny continues to experience significant physical difficulties, particularly with her speech and mobility.

The couple’s message was simple: Jenny’s illness shouldn’t mean she has to stop enjoying the life she still has.

Jenny And Sumit Defend Their Vacation

Jenny has also responded to the backlash herself.

She explained on social media that the couple wanted to spend time at the beach while she continues dealing with ALS.

Some critics also questioned whether money donated to support her medical expenses was being used for the getaway.

However, those accusations have not been substantiated.

As Celebrating The Soaps previously reported about Jenny and Sumit’s relationship, the couple has faced criticism throughout their time in the public eye.

Now, they’re facing a much more serious challenge together.

Jenny’s health problems are real, and the couple has repeatedly spoken about the emotional and physical difficulties caused by her diagnosis.

Editor’s Take

I have to say, I don’t understand why some people are so upset about Jenny going on vacation.

She’s dealing with a serious illness, and if she wants to spend time at the beach with her husband, why shouldn’t she?

Jenny and Sumit have been through plenty of drama over the years, but they’ve stayed together through it all.

I think it’s wonderful that Sumit is standing by his wife and defending her.

And let’s be clear: someone smiling in a vacation photo doesn’t mean they aren’t seriously ill.

Do you think Jenny and Sumit should have to defend their vacation, or should people respect their privacy and let them enjoy their time together?
