Sisters Abby and Britanny share the same body, but only one of them has been married for 3 years to breastfeed Josh Bowling
Summary
Abby and Brittany Hensel are 34-year-old conjoined twins who work as teachers in Minnesota, United States. In 2021, Abby made her relationship with a nurse, Josh Bowling, official. This controversial relationship triggered much speculation and commentary on social media, where they remain active.
Abby and Brittany Hensel have been together since the day they were born. The 34-year-old Siamese women share their routine, their activities and even the marriage of just one of them on the web. They also starred in the program “Joined for Life” (2003), on the Discovery Channel, and in the reality shows “Abby & Brittany” (2012) and “Joined for Life: Abby and Brittany Turn 16” (2006), broadcast on the channel for a TLC fee.
In 2021, Abby made her relationship official with Josh Bowling, a nurse and Army veteran, and news of the relationship has since resonated on social media, as the two share the same body. Brittany has control on the left side (arm and leg), while Abby controls the right side.
Each of the sisters has its own heart, lungs, stomach and kidneys. However, other organs, including the colon, rectum, bladder, and reproductive system, are shared. Now married, Abby has already announced her desire to get pregnant with her, though she hasn’t provided details on how that would happen since she shares her body with her sister.
The parents decided not to perform the surgery to separate the sisters, which would be high risk. At the time, doctors said there was little chance of survival. “How could we choose between the two?” the twins’ father said in an interview with Time magazine.
Controversies
Since the twins’ marriage came to light, new information about the relationship has begun to emerge. Britain’s Mirror newspaper reported that Abby’s twin sister Brittany was not listed on the certificate as a witness to the wedding.
From the documents it emerges that the couple’s witnesses were only Morgan, sister of the conjoined twins, and Cosmo Naut, who apparently was Josh’s best man. Additionally, Josh faces a paternity lawsuit filed by his ex-wife, Annica Bowling.
With the affair exposed even after 3 years of marriage, Abby responded to nasty comments she received on social media. In a video posted to TikTok, the Hensel sisters posted a photo alongside Josh.
“This is a message to all the haters out there. If you don’t like what I do, but you watch everything I do, you’re still a fan,” the message reads.
