Abby and Brittany, who are conjoined twins with a dicephalus, were both on the TLC show “Abby and Brittany” in 2012.
It was recently revealed that Abby Hensel is married. This comes almost thirty years after the world saw conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel for the first time on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
The news outlet TODAY said in an article on Wednesday that public court records showed that Abby and Josh Bowling got married in 2021. Twin sister Brittany also works as a teacher in Minnesota, just like her sister Abby. Bowling, on the other hand, is a nurse and a US Army battle veteran.
After being on the 2006 TLC show Abby and Brittany, Abby was one of the two Brittanys. The show followed the twins as they looked for their first jobs, traveled to Europe, and graduated from college. It ran for one season and showed their progress.
Even though it was just recently reported that Abby and Bowling got married in 2021, their family has already shared a lot of photos and a video from the event. In these pictures, you can see what looks like the newlyweds’ first dance together.
When their parents were told it was very unlikely that both of their girls, Abby and Brittany, would live, they decided not to have a separation procedure done on them. There is only one body and bloodstream for them, but their heads, necks, and all of their parts above the waist are different. Two hearts and two bellies are in this. Along with other parts, their reproductive organs, intestines, and bladders are all below the waist. Brittany is in charge of the girls’ left arm and leg, while Abby is in charge of their right arm and leg.
In the documentary “Joined For Life,” their mother, Patty Hensel, said that her girls, who were teenagers at the time, wanted to have children someday.
At that time, Patty said, “That might work because those organs do work for them,” and she was right.
Brittany also said, “Yeah, we’re going to be moms.” We haven’t thought about the details of becoming parents up to this point. We are only sixteen years old, though, so we don’t need to worry about it right now.
The twins talked about their plans to have a family in a second interview, which was revealed by the Daily Mail.
Brittany told Vogue, “Everyone doesn’t need to know who we’re seeing, what we’re doing, or when we’re going to do it.” That’s when she said, “But believe me, we are two very different people.”
She answered, “Yeah, we’re going to be moms one day, but we don’t want to talk about how it’s going to work yet.”
The Daily Mail says that Abby feels like a mom because Josh already has a daughter from a previous relationship.
There have been ten years since they first appeared on TV, and Abby and Brittany have lived pretty quiet lives. Both of them are now teaching fifth grade in New Brighton, Minnesota.
