“I’m Just Confused!” One of the Famous Conjoined Twins Got Married, Sparking Heated Controversy

One of the famous conjoined twins, Abby Hensel, married Josh Bowling in 2021, though details of their wedding have only recently come to light.

The conjoined twins first rose to widespread fame in 1996.

Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel first captured national attention with their appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996.

The sisters later starred in the heartwarming TLC reality series Abby and Brittany, which highlighted their daily lives, including driving, traveling across Europe, and even riding a moped. After the show concluded its first season, Abby and Brittany went on to complete their college education, both earning degrees in education.

Abby is now married.

A lot has happened in the past decade. Abby, who is now 34, has gotten married. Public records show that Abby, a teacher, tied the knot with Josh Bowling, a nurse, in 2021. They shared pictures of their wedding on social media. They now live in Minnesota, their birthplace and hometown.

Both sisters currently work as fifth-grade teachers.

The twins faced criticism when news of Abby’s wedding was made public.

Shortly after the news emerged, the twins faced a wave of criticism over Abby’s marriage, with social media flooded by negative comments. To address the backlash, they chose to respond directly, using a viral audio clip.

“This is a message to all the haters out here,” a deep voice stated in the TikTok video, accompanying images of Abby and Brittany with Bowling. “If you don’t like what I do but watch everything I’m doing, you’re still a fan.”

Despite their response, users continued to flood the trio with questions. “What if one of them dies? what happening with the other one then?” one person asked. Another added, “What if the other one wants to get married to what happens now since he got married to one?” One user simply admitted, “I’m just confused.”

Abby and Brittany have unique physiology.

The twins share a single body but have separate heads, necks, arms, and legs. At birth, a rudimentary arm was removed. Abby’s head tilts 5 degrees to the right, while Brittany’s tilts 15 degrees to the left. Brittany’s leg is shorter, causing her to walk on tiptoe and develop a larger calf. Abby’s spine growth was halted when Brittany stopped growing. At age 12, they underwent surgery to correct scoliosis and expand their chest cavity.

They share two hearts within a common circulatory system, four lungs, and three kidneys.

Meanwhile, another pair of famous conjoined twins, Carmen and Lupita, recently made headlines. One of them got married, while the other chose to remain single, sparking a flurry of online discussion.
