Conjoined twins Abby Hensel, 34, who rose to fame on the reality show Abby & Brittany, discreetly married an army veteran in 2021.
According to recently discovered public records obtained by TODAY, Abby, a teacher, married Josh Bowling, a nurse and United States Army veteran.
The sisters just posted images from the wedding on social media. The pair lives in Minnesota, where the Hensels were born and reared.
The twins are now fifth-grade teachers.
Abby and Brittany are dicephalic-conjoined twins who share a bloodstream and all organs beneath the waist. Brittany controls their left arm and leg, while Abby controls the right.
They initially captured the public’s attention in 1996 when they appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and the cover of Life Magazine.

They subsequently lived a calm, regular existence in Minnesota with their family, staying out of the media spotlight until they consented to appear in a TLC documentary when they turned 16.
When Abby and Brittany were born in 1990, their parents, Patty and Mike Hensel decided against undergoing separation surgery because it was too hazardous. At the time, physicians stated both had a slim chance of surviving the surgery.

“How could you pick between the two?” Mike mentioned this in an interview with Time magazine in 2001.
In the 2003 documentary “Joined for Life,” Patty Hensel stated that her daughters wanted to have children one day.
“That is probably something that could work because those organs do work for them,” Patty went on to say.
“Yes, we are going to be mothers,” Brittany remarked. “We haven’t considered how motherhood will work yet. But we’re only 16; we don’t need to think about that right now.
