After 34 years, Abigail and Brittany Hensal remain conjoined at the torso, yet their lives have changed significantly.
In 2021, after more than 30 years of “sharing” their body, Abby and Brittany Hansel experienced a new turning point when Abby decided to marry Josh Bowling (33 years old), a nurse and former military personnel. However, the video capturing moments and details of Abby’s special wedding day was only recently released on the sisters’ TikTok channel, leaving their followers pleasantly surprised.
Abby surprised everyone by posting images from her wedding with her husband in 2021.
The uploaded video shows Abby and her husband sharing a tender and joyful dance at their wedding. While there is no information about whether the couple plans to have children, in a documentary filmed when the sisters were teenagers, their mother expressed that one day they would love to have kids in the future.
“Yes, one day we might become mothers, but we don’t want to talk about how that will happen just yet,” Abby said.

Born in 1990, twins Abigail (Abby) and Brittany Hensal astonished both their parents and doctors by being conjoined at 90% of their bodies, with only their heads separate. At that time, doctors informed the sisters’ parents that their chances of survival were slim, as only one in 30 million conjoined twins typically survive.
Despite the doctors’ predictions, the sisters defied the odds, living healthily like normal children for many years. After appearing on an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996, Abby and Brittany gained fame for their miraculous story.
The famous sisters known for their resilient lives.
It is known that although they share a body, each sister can only control her respective side and cannot feel the parts belonging to the other. However, through seamless coordination, they can perform various tasks like ordinary individuals, such as riding a motorcycle, attending college, and currently excelling in their teaching careers.
Like any other set of twins, Abby and Brittany have distinct personality traits, with Abby being an introvert who enjoys staying at home and has a fear of heights, while Brittany prefers going out with friends. Each has her own tastes in colors, foods, and more.
Brittany and Abby can coordinate to cook, teach, and ride a motorcycle together.
