Love stories on ’90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way’ often come with their fair share of drama, but very few couples captured fans’ attention like Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh. They were first introduced in season 1 of the show and quickly became one of its most talked-about romances. With a staggering 30-year age gap, cultural differences, and fierce family opposition, their journey was anything but easy. Despite every roadblock, their commitment to one another helped them stay together. Once again, they returned on season 7 of the show, which shed light on their financial problems and the challenges they faced after moving in with Sumit’s parents.
Jenny and Sumit Moved in With the Latter’s Parents Due to Financial Strain
Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh’s first connection happened on Facebook under less-than-ideal circumstances. While Sumit lived in India, Jenny was in California at the time. She was 30 years older than him, and according to the show, he originally tried to catfish her. Surprisingly, instead of ending there, their bond gradually grew stronger. Soon, their online friendship blossomed into a long-distance romance. However, Jenny was unaware that Sumit was already married to another Indian woman during that time. Although the revelation shook their relationship, the latter chose to take a leap of faith and move to India to be with him. Eventually, he got a divorce since he wanted to be with her. However, his family greatly opposed his relationship, especially his mother, Sadhana. She even threatened Sumit with suicide to prevent the couple from being together.
However, Sumit stood firmly by Jenny’s side, and in August 2021, they finally tied the knot. She was eventually accepted into the family, and the pair moved to their own apartment. However, their independence was short-lived due to financial struggles, which forced them to move in with his parents. Living under the same roof with them proved anything but easy. When Jenny finally moved in with her clothing and other belongings, Sadhana sifted through them and even asked her if she drank alcohol. She was also questioned about hoarding her old clothes. In her confessional, Jenny had made it clear that she had no intention of moving in with Sumit’s parents permanently. The couple suddenly found themselves at a crossroads, struggling to balance their love, family, and cultural expectations in a home that wasn’t entirely theirs.

She prays with my family, with a heart so true, A perfect partner, through and through.” In the same month, he once again showcased a snapshot with the pair and Sadhana standing side-by-side. In another instance, the duo embarked on a day out in the mall with Sumit’s parents.
