Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel have been spotted with a newborn baby in tow. The sisters, who first rose to fame in the 1990s and later starred in their own TLC reality show, were seen carrying the infant in a car seat on Thursday.
The twins placed the baby into the back of a black Tesla at a parking lot in Arden Hills, Minnesota – 10 miles outside Minneapolis. The sisters have yet to confirm if the child is theirs. Daily Mail has contacted their representative for comment.
The sighting has sparked renewed speculation about their lives following the recent revelation that Abby married U.S. Army veteran Joshua Bowling in 2021. Details of the marriage only became public last year, when it also emerged Abby has become a stepmother to Bowling’s daughter from a previous relationship, according to TMZ.
In a 2003 documentary titled ‘Joined for Life,’ the twins expressed interest in one day having children of their own. The public learned more about Abby’s ‘secret’ marriage after Today.com obtained the couple’s marriage records.
Not long after, Bowling updated his Facebook profile to include a photo of himself with both Abby and Brittany, seeming to signal a united family front. Despite some online backlash and intrusive curiosity over how their relationship functions, the sisters have historically met criticism head-on.
In a TikTok video posted after news of the marriage broke, they addressed the scrutiny directly writing, ‘This Is a Message To All the Haters Out There. If You Don’t Like What I Do But You Watch Everything I’m Doing You’re Still a Fan.’ Once more in June 2024, the twins posted TikToks from Abby’s wedding, including a clip of Abby and Bowling’s first dance – set to a remix of Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep.’
They posted an additional video captioned, ‘We know you think you know us,’ paired with Justine Skye’s song ‘Collide.’ Abby and Brittany, 34, are dicephalic conjoined twins – meaning they have two heads but share one body.
Each controls one side: Abby controls the right arm and leg, Brittany the left, and they share organs below the waist and have the same bloodstream. As of now, no further details have been released about the baby.
