Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel have shared never-before-seen photos from their 2021 wedding to U.S. Army veteran Josh Bowling, reigniting public fascination with their extraordinary lives—and fueling new rumors after they were recently spotted carrying a baby.

The Minnesota-based twins, now 35, became household names after appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996 and later starring in their own TLC series, Abby & Brittany. Born with the rare condition dicephalic parapagus, the sisters share one body from the waist down but have separate heads, brains, hearts, and stomachs. Despite the physical challenges, they’ve built full, happy lives as teachers and recently, as part of a family.

Wedding Photos Resurface

The newly released wedding photos—posted to their shared TikTok account—show Abby and Brittany beaming in a white wedding gown beside Bowling. In one image, the couple holds hands and laughs, with the caption simply reading, “#abbyandbrittany #twins #marriage.” Another picture captures the trio posing with a bouquet moments after saying their vows. Though the wedding took place in 2021, it wasn’t made public until 2024, when the twins quietly confirmed the marriage online.

Friends and followers flooded the comments with love and congratulations, noting how radiant the sisters looked on their big day. The event marked a major milestone not only for Abby, who legally married Bowling, but also for Brittany, who continues to share every moment of life with her sister as they always have.

The Baby Rumors

Last month, the U.S. Sun photographed the twins outside a Minnesota school—where they both teach fifth grade—carrying a baby car seat. They appeared to be leaving the building and later drove off in their Tesla. Witnesses described them as looking “tired but happy,” noting that they “struggled at times with the carrier” but seemed to be in good spirits.

Shortly after the photos surfaced, Abby and Brittany shared new images online, captioned simply, “Blessed.” The post sparked a wave of speculation across social media, with many fans wondering whether the twins and Bowling had recently welcomed a child. A previous sighting of them with a baby carriage had already fueled the rumors, but the Hensels have not confirmed or denied whether the baby belongs to them.

The U.S. Sun reached out for comment, but the family did not respond. For now, it remains unclear whether the baby is theirs or belongs to a relative or friend.

Abby and Josh live together in a $510,000 five-bedroom, four-bathroom home in St. Paul, Minnesota, where Abby is also stepmother to Bowling’s daughter from a previous relationship.

A Life of Resilience and Harmony

Abby and Brittany’s condition, dicephalic parapagus, occurs in only one out of every 50,000 to 60,000 births. Most conjoined twins do not survive beyond infancy, making their case incredibly rare. Each twin has her own head, brain, heart, and stomach, but they share vital organs below the waist. Abby controls the right side of their body, while Brittany controls the left, requiring seamless coordination for every action—from walking and writing to driving.

They have been admired for their positivity and determination since childhood. The sisters once said they never wished to be separated because they enjoy their life together and wouldn’t want to lose the shared connection that defines them. Their rare anatomy allows them to live remarkably normal lives, including earning college degrees and working full-time as educators.

The twins first appeared on national television at age six, instantly captivating audiences with their humor and intelligence. They went on to feature in documentaries such as Joined for Life (2003), where they expressed their hopes of one day becoming mothers. Nearly two decades later, their quiet family life and close marriage suggest that those dreams may finally be within reach.

A Private Yet Inspiring Journey

Since their TLC show aired in 2012, Abby and Brittany have largely stayed out of the public eye, preferring privacy over fame. They occasionally share glimpses of their lives through social media, posting classroom updates and family photos.

Whether or not the baby they were seen carrying is theirs, the Hensels continue to inspire millions around the world with their unity, resilience, and unshakable bond. Their story is not only one of medical wonder but also of love—proving that happiness, family, and connection can flourish in even the most extraordinary circumstances.
