Jenny Slatten is making a move for her independence, and it’s causing serious tension in her marriage. The 67-year-old star of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way has decided she can no longer live with her husband Sumit Singh’s parents and is pushing for them to return to their own apartment. The major problem? Sumit isn’t happy about the plan, and his parents have outright ordered the couple to stay. This clash over living arrangements defines the couple’s current storyline on Season 7, highlighting their ongoing struggle to balance Jenny’s need for freedom with Sumit’s family obligations in India.
Jenny Slatten Confronts Sumit’s Parents Over Living Situation
The conflict reached a boiling point in a recent episode clip. Jenny, after caring for her sick mother-in-law, Sahna, tried to explain her desire to leave. She pointed out the natural friction of two older women with set ways living together.
“We’re both older women, so we’re both set in our ways,” Jenny told Sahna. “Like, you’re not gonna change, I’m also not gonna change, too. So, Sumit and I are gonna move back to our apartment where we were happy, we were free to do anything and nobody minded”.
The response from Sumit’s father, Anil, was not a request but a command. He stated, “You are not going to leave. You have to live with us, it’s an order”. Sahna echoed this, calling it a “unique joy” to live together. Jenny, however, pushed back strongly. “I can’t be told what I can’t do,” she insisted, adding that she is “too old for this”.
This living arrangement began at the start of Season 7, after the couple could no longer afford their own place. Jenny has been open about her struggle, telling People magazine after nine months of living there that she was trying to adjust but longed for her “independent life back”. She clarified she is grateful for her in-laws’ acceptance but stated plainly, “if it was my decision, we’d be gone”.
Sumit Singh’s Reaction and the Couple’s Argument
Jenny knew her husband would be upset. Before telling him she had already spoken to his parents, she admitted, “I know he’s not gonna be happy about it”. She was right. In a tense scene, Jenny tried to broach the subject while they were watching birds, describing the moment as a getaway from their “busy family”.
She directly asked Sumit if they could return to their old apartment, expressing her frustration: “I can’t deal with this. It’s too much. It sucks living there”. Sumit, who has admitted his parents want them to stay “forever,” was shocked and angry. He questioned if she was “out of her mind” and reminded her of their financial situation, arguing she needed to adjust to life in India. The couple found themselves in a major argument, with Jenny standing her ground and Sumit deeply conflicted between his wife’s happiness and his family’s expectations.
The Family Business and Financial Pressures
A significant part of this season’s storyline involves the family cafe, which was opened in an attempt to improve the couple’s finances. The business added another layer of stress, with Jenny being assigned work as a cashier—a job she found difficult due to handling Indian currency. In a recent interview, however, Jenny shared a positive update on the cafe, stating, “We are a strong business now, especially because of our coffee machine”.
Despite the cafe’s reported success, questions remain about the couple’s financial ability to live independently, especially after rumors of the cafe’s closure surfaced online. Their income is believed to come from the TLC show and fan interaction platforms like Cameo.
