Rumor Clarification

In an Instagram video posted early this week, Sumit Singh directly addressed circulating claims that his wife, “90 Day Fiancé” star Jenny Slatten, is confined to a hospital bed. Singh asserted that the reports are false and emphasized that Slatten remains able to walk, talk, and care for herself with his assistance.

Health Update and Ongoing Support

Slatten, 68, publicly disclosed her amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis in May. The couple thanked cast-mate Sarper Güven for dedicating a recent stand-up show to raise money for Slatten’s battle and expressed gratitude for the outpouring of messages, prayers, and donations that have bolstered their morale.

Fundraising Progress

To offset medical costs in India—where Slatten lacks health insurance and wishes to avoid burdening her three U.S.-based daughters—the pair launched a GoFundMe campaign. As of the latest update, the campaign has raised over $99,000 toward a goal of $171,700. Singh explained that while money cannot cure ALS, it “supports and makes life easier,” and noted that the couple had never previously solicited public funds despite previous financial struggles.

Visa Pursuit and Future Plans

Because Slatten’s condition limits her ability to travel alone, Singh is working to expedite a U.S. visa so he can serve as her caregiver. He described the process as challenging for an Indian applicant but affirmed that they are “trying our best” and hope to secure the visa soon.
