• Conjoined twin Abby Hensel married Josh Bowling in 2021 and now lives in Minnesota with him and his daughter
• Abby and Brittany Hensel were born as dicephalus conjoined twins, sharing organs below the waist with separate spinal cords and brains
• Despite their unique condition, Abby and Brittany graduated from college, work as teachers, and have kept their love lives private while expressing interest in becoming mothers
Here is what happened:
Abby and Brittany Hensel, the conjoined twins who first shared their story on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 1996, are now all grown up and living in Minnesota. Abby, one of the twins, got married to Josh Bowling in 2021, as reported by “Today.” They now reside with Josh, who describes himself as a father, veteran, and nurse. The twins, born dicephalus conjoined twins, share many organs below the waist, with Brittany controlling the left side of their body and Abby controlling the right.
Despite their public exposure through their reality show “Abby & Brittany” on TLC in 2012, the twins have kept their love lives private for over a decade. They have refrained from sharing personal details about their relationships and have focused on their career as teachers. Graduating from Bethel University in 2012, they currently work as teachers at an elementary school in their home state of Minnesota.
Looking beyond their television appearances, the twins have expressed their desire to become mothers and start a family. Though they haven’t thought about the logistics of being mothers yet, the idea of motherhood is something that both Abby and Brittany are interested in exploring. While maintaining their privacy and keeping away from the limelight, they continue to navigate their unique lives together, facing challenges and experiences as a team.
