Fans of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way have long thought Sumit Singh would never marry fiancée Jenny Slatten, and after a recent episode, viewers believe it was his parents’ disapproval that Sumit was after. Sumit’s parents recently agreed to stop being so overbearing, and now Sumit seems nervous about having no impediment to marrying Jenny. Many fans think his new hesitation is a sign he never intended to marry his fiancée. Instead, the 90 Day Fiancé star was interested in the drama his relationship created in his family.
For years, Sumit’s parents have opposed his relationship with much-older Jenny and have begged him to abandon her and seek a more acceptable partner. In the latest episode of The Other Way, Sumit’s parents brought in their astrologer to help Sumit see reason, but it didn’t go the way they expected. The astrologer sided with Sumit and told his parents they needed to let their son live his own life. Sumit’s parents decided to take their astrologer’s advice and told Jenny and Sumit they won’t meddle in their relationship anymore.
Once Jenny informed Sumit that his parents wouldn’t object to their relationship and they were now free to get married, it seemed like Sumit got nervous. Now that Sumit appears apprehensive about marrying Jenny, some fans think he’s just a drama-monger who enjoyed rebelling against his parents’ wishes. Sumit came up with a lot of excuses for not moving forward with his engagement to Jenny, but his parents’ disapproval was by far his biggest. Viewers say Sumit was mostly interested in Jenny because his parents were so against it.
Some fans think Sumit was acting like a teenager in love, and the harder his parents tried to break up his relationship, the harder he fought to maintain it. But now that his parents have wised up and are no longer standing in the way, Sumit has to make his own drama. Sumit may genuinely care for Jenny but still not want to marry her. However, things like fame and social media income have made it harder for Sumit to justify not getting married. Now that Sumit’s parents accept Jenny, he has even fewer excuses.
Jenny and Sumit definitely have one of the most sensational relationships on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way due to their age gap and significant cultural differences. But from now on, Sumit can’t rely on his parents objecting to his relationship to prevent him from getting married. The reality TV star may have been behaving like a teenager whose parents’ disapproval only made him cling to his forbidden relationship harder. Now that those obstacles are gone, Sumit could be having a hard time adjusting to the reality that a wedding is in his future.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
