Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh, one of the couples from the TLC reality show, shared that Slatten's amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has taken away her ability to speak.
The "90 Day Fiancé" Stat "Can't Talk"
The 90 Day Fiancé couple shared the news on Instagram on Sunday, Aug. 30. In the video, Singh asks Slatten if she has anything to say to their fans.
"No, I can't talk," she slowly replies.
Singh then added, "Unfortunately, the ALS is progressing, and it's starting to show more in her talk. It's hard for her to talk now."
Along with the difficulties with her speech, Singh says Slatten also has trouble walking and keeping her balance.
"I feel like it's more about Jenny losing strength in her backbone and neck and all ... her spine, which is making it difficult for Jenny to balance while she's walking or doing anything," he says.
Sumit Singh Is Waiting For a Visa
As fans of 90 Day Fiancé know, Slatten moved to India to marry Singh. While Singh hopes Slatten will return to America for treatment, but she won't travel without him. His visa has yet to be approved. They're concerned that once Slatten is in the United States and receiving treatment, she will be unable to return to India.
"If I don't get the visa, it means that we will be apart forever," he says. "This is a reason Jenny doesn't want to go to America without me."
Singh is asking fans for help. He pointed to the support fellow 90 Day Fiancé stars Armando Rubio and Kenny Niedermeier received last month. Rubio's daughter was taken to Arizona after suffering a brain bleed. Rubio wasn't allowed to cross the border to see her until he received a humanitarian visa.
"I hope someone will be able to come up with a solution, maybe a lawyer or attorney or someone, a specialist in immigration or something," he says.
He adds, "If [our relationship and medical plans] are not enough for the embassy in order for me to get a visa, I don't know whatever situation or condition I will ever be approved."
