The couple had a tumultuous romance in India with emotional highs and lows, but according to Jenny, she and Sumit are still together!
"Happy and doing great, our love is strong @sumitjenny @blend_it_boo @gains_ta #90dayfiancetheotherway#90dayfiance#loveusthewayweare#lovewins," Jenny captioned a selfie on Monday.
Jenny seemed to want to clarify she's still in a relationship with Sumit because a special just aired Monday night on TLC entitled Jenny & Sumit: Our Journey So Far, which showed the pair saying goodbye to each other in India -- a scene that previously aired during the finale of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way.
90 Day Fiance: The Other Way began with Jenny revealing she had met Sumit on Facebook and once traveled to India to meet him.
But Jenny's first trip to India was cut short and only lasted four months because Sumit had learned his parents disapproved of the romance and would not allow them to get married.
Jenny and Sumit, however, continued their relationship long distance anyway, and the show documented Jenny moving to India so she could be with Sumit permanently.
Throughout Jenny's time in India, Sumit lied to his parents about their relationship -- but he also lied to Jenny because it turned out he was married to another woman the whole time.

Jenny, however, knew something was off when Sumit would leave her for days on end to spend time with his parents and attempt to alleviate their concerns and suspicions about his whereabouts.
"I feel like your mistress... or something because you're hiding me from everybody," Jenny said. "It feels horrible, like, I'm supposed to be the woman you're in love with."

He didn't want to have to choose between them, but Jenny put pressure on her man to put her first since she had left her whole life behind in the United States to be with him.
Towards the end of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, Sumit was ambushed by more than a dozen of his family members, including his father-in-law, who all expressed disappointment and disgust over his affair with Jenny.
Sumit's family took him away from Jenny and left her all alone in India for almost a week. The family threatened to get the police involved, and Jenny was terrified.
Sumit admitted he had "lied a lot to everyone" and done "a lot of things wrong." Sumit told the cameras he had been married for two-and-a-half years.
"I was dating Jenny when my parents set up an arranged marriage, and I barely knew the girl before I married her," said Sumit, who later argued, "No one should force me into a marriage... It's my decision. I want to be with Jenny. It's my right to be happy."

Once Sumit and Jenny reunited and talked things out, Jenny had run out of time in India. The pair therefore had a very emotional goodbye, with Sumit feeling completely helpless and powerless.
"If you want to be with me and you really want us to be together, please take care of things... Please don't just let me go or it will never be the same," Jenny begged Sumit in tears.

Sumit cried about how he was to blame and it was his fault he was losing the love of his life, but Jenny apparently felt otherwise.
"I had the best six months of my life, and I don't want anybody to think that I made the biggest mistake of my life because he made me happy -- and I wasn't happy before," Jenny lamented.
"He's a good guy... it's not his fault. It's just... in Indian culture, he can't go against his parents. Just everybody believe that we love each other because it's true! It's true, true, true. We're not lying to anybody."
During the Tell-All special for 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way that aired late last month, Jenny revealed being back in the United States was difficult because she was supposed to be in India with her man. At the time, Jenny was living with her daughter Christina.

Sumit called in through video chat from a hotel room in Delhi, and he said his family and wife were aware that he'd be talking to Jenny that day.
Jenny said Sumit should have told her that he was married but she loved him so much that she probably would have stayed with him anyway.
Sumit explained he had signed up to do 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way so he could shout from the rooftops he's in a relationship with Jenny and loved her, considering his parents wouldn't listen to him or didn't seem to care.
Sumit was hoping to use the show as a way for him to get out of his marriage.
"I was not in love with my wife ever," Sumit confessed, adding that all he and his wife did was fight.
When Sumit was asked if he was having intimate relations with both Jenny and his wife back home, "No, not at that time."
Jenny believed Sumit's claim, and then the Tell-All host Shaun Robinson asked Sumit why he didn't demand a divorce from his wife since he was supposedly so madly in love with someone else.

However, Sumit later revealed his wife had finally filed a case against him and so their divorce was pending. Jenny therefore envisioned she would be with Sumit again someday.
"I plan on going back to India. That is the plan," Jenny shared on the Tell-All.
Sumit said if his divorce proceeded peacefully, Jenny should not be in danger when she eventually returns to India.
