90 Day Fiancé star Jenny Slatten has revealed she was diagnosed with ALS in December, one year after she first experienced symptoms.
The reality star, 68, and her husband Sumit Singh, 38, shared her diagnosis during a new interview with People. “We’re doing what we can,” she said.
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is the most common type of Motor Neurone Disease, affecting the brain and spinal cord and impacting movement, speech, and independence.
Slatten told People she experienced her first ALS symptom in December 2024 when she choked “badly” as she was drinking water. Soon after, she had trouble swallowing and thought she had “some kind of infection,” so she was on a medication that briefly treated her pain.
However, she and her husband later noticed she had difficulties speaking, including avoiding conversations and often refusing to talk at all.
“That’s when we knew something was wrong,” Slatten said.
