Abby and Brittany Hensel, the famous conjoined twins, became well-known around the world when they were kids because of their special situation. Recently, they made headlines again when it was discovered that Abby had a private wedding in 2021, and the first pictures from that day have just been shared.
Abby and Brittany were born on March 7, 1990. They each have control over one side of their body, which means they have to work together to do things like walk and run. To show their unique styles, their clothes are usually made with two different necklines.
The twins were the main characters in the touching TLC reality show “Abby and Brittany,” where they shared their everyday adventures like driving, exploring Europe, and riding a moped. Once the first season wrapped up, the sisters finished college and got their degrees in education.
In a 2012 episode of the show, Brittany said, “Not everyone needs to know who we’re dating, what we’re up to, or when we’re doing things.” Abby, who manages their right side, chimed in, “Sure, we’ll be moms someday, but we’re not ready to discuss how that’s going to happen just yet.”
Back in 2006, the twins shared their hopes of getting married and starting families. Brittany mentioned, “For sure, we want to be moms. We haven’t really figured out how that will happen yet. But we’re only 16 — we don’t have to worry about that just yet.”
A lot has happened in the last ten years. Abby, who is now 34 years old, got married to Josh Bowling, a nurse, in 2021. Their marriage was confirmed by public records, and the sisters posted wedding pictures on social media. The couple lives in Minnesota, where they were both born and raised, and both sisters work as fifth-grade teachers.
After hearing about Abby’s wedding, the twins started getting a lot of mean comments and criticism on social media. To fight back against the negativity, they decided to make a TikTok video using a popular audio clip. The deep voice in the clip said, “This is a message to all the haters out here,” while showing pictures of Abby, Brittany, and Bowling. It continued, “If you don’t like what I do but watch everything I’m doing, you’re still a fan.”
When the twins came into the world, their parents, Patty and Mike, had a tough choice to make about whether to keep them together or not. Worried about the dangers and possible problems that could come from surgery, they decided to keep the twins together, focusing on giving their daughters the best chance at a happy life. The twins really appreciate what their parents chose. Abby said, “We’re so glad we weren’t separated because we wouldn’t be able to enjoy all the fun things we do now, like playing softball, running, and being active in sports.”
