Instead of following Americans and their foreign partners dating in the United States and attempting to marry within 90 days like the original 90 Day Fiance series, 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way follows American citizens moving across the globe and living in foreign countries for the sake of love and their future spouses.
90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's Americans also have to wed within 90 days in order to stay in their new countries.
According to TLC, Jenny is a 60-year-old from Palm Springs, CA, and Sumit is a 30-year-old from Delhi, India.
Jenny, a divorced grandmother who had previously been married for 15 years, revealed on the premiere of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way on Monday night she was born in 1957 and Sumit was born in 1988.
Their love story began when Jenny received a Facebook request from a young, handsome, buff, English male model named Michael Jones.
After Jenny and "Michael" got to know each other better and developed mutual feelings, "Michael" decided to come clean and admit Jenny had been catfished.
Sumit was in fact posing as Michael all along. He was living with his parents in Delhi, India and worked in a call center.
Sumit apparently enjoyed talking to women online while he worked, and he told the cameras during the debut episode of The Other Way spinoff, "I love white girls."

Although Sumit initially lied to Jenny about his identity, Jenny -- who found the real Sumit "adorable" -- decided to forgive him and move forward with their romantic relationship.

Jenny then traveled to India to meet the love of her life in person, but the four-month trip was cut short when Sumit learned his parents disapproved of the romance and would not allow them to get married.
Sumit's mother was especially upset because Jenny is older than her.
However, Jenny and Sumit continued their relationship long distance, and 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way debuted with her making plans to move to India permanently so she can be with Sumit forever. In fact, Jenny received her visa in the mail to travel abroad.
If Jenny follows through with her choice to move to India, she'd have to use her life savings of $6,000 -- which, according to a financial advisor, would only last six to nine months in India -- and leave behind her three daughters and four grandchildren.
Jenny would also miss her concerned and skeptical friends in America and no longer be able to collect social security come a certain age if she gives up her U.S. citizenship.
Jenny's friends thought she was making a huge mistake because women are second to men in India and she wouldn't have much freedom.

The debut episode of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way also featured Sumit expressing how he believes Jenny is beautiful despite their age gap and he couldn't wait to marry her in India upon her arrival.
Sumit explained to his male friends that he'd move out of his parents' home once they got married, although tradition has it that Jenny is supposed to move in with his family.
Sumit's friends were worried Jenny might not be able to transition to life in India and then return to the United States, leaving him heartbroken with broken family ties.
Sumit was scared about the endless possibilities, but it was clear he and Jenny wanted to be with each other and weren't going to let anything stand in their way.
The first episode of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way concluded with Jenny preparing to leave for India in one week.
So are Jenny and Sumit still together? Did Jenny decide to stay in India?
According to Jenny and Sumit's Instagram accounts, they are still a couple!The pair apparently live in the city of Gurgaon, which is about two hours outside of Delhi, India.
While Sumit's Instagram page is mainly full of selfies, his profile picture includes Jenny. And Jenny's profile picture on Instagram also features Sumit.
Jenny has posted quite a few pictures of herself in India, with and without Sumit. They appear to be happy and in love.
Jenny, however, confused some fans since some of her posted photos were taken back in the United States. She therefore clarified on May 31, "Have to leave the country every 180 days. So stupid."
Evidence of a marriage has yet to surface, but it's likely the couple exchanged vows if Jenny is still living in Sumit's native country.
