Conjoined twin Abby Hensel is now married - Abby, the left-side conjoined twin, married Josh Bowling, a nurse and United States Army veteran, in 2021.

Abby and Brittany Hensel, who documented their lives in a TLC reality series, have transitioned from a duo to a trio.

Abby, the left-side conjoined twin, married Josh Bowling, a nurse and United States Army veteran, in 2021. They live in Minnesota, where the Hensel twins were born and raised.

Abby and Brittany, 34, have been living private lives since their 8-episode show “Abby & Brittany” aired in 2012. But it’s been a happy life for them in Minnesota, where they were born and raised.

According to the “Today” show, which obtained marriage records for the spouses, the sisters are both fifth-grade teachers in their home state.

The duo originally appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 1996, explaining their lives as conjoined twins.

They were born as dicephalus conjoined twins, a rare condition when two heads are on a single body with one genital system; two, three or four arms, two hearts and two legs.

The Helsen twins share a bloodstream and all organs below the waist. Abby controls their right arm and leg and Brittany controls the left side.


Hensel’s parents refused separation surgery for the twins because it was too risky that one child wouldn’t survive. TLC

When Abby and Brittany were born in 1990, their parents, Patty and Mike Hensel, opted out of separation surgery because doctors said there was a small chance the girls would survive the operation, “Today” reported.

“How could you pick between the two?” their father Mike said, during a 2001 interview with Time magazine.

Although they battle complications of life as conjoined twins, they haven’t let it slow them down from achieving benchmark goals such as passing their driver’s license test at 16, graduating from college, traveling to Europe and becoming educators.

So far, there’s word if they plan on expanding their family.

In the 2003 documentary “Joined for Life,” Abby and Brittany discuss the possibility of raising children one day.

“Yeah, we’re going to be moms,” Brittany said. “We haven’t thought about how being moms is going to work yet. But we’re just 16 — we don’t need to think about that right now.”

And the couple doesn’t have to rush adding children into their life because Abby’s husband has a child from a prior relationship, according to the Daily Mail.

Bowling’s Facebook page reveals how the blended family embraces each other with family photoshoots, an ice cream outing and celebrating the holidays.

Sex is gonna be fucking mental. Good or bad, I'll let you decide.

 

[DumbDude43]

dude probably read too many hentais about 'sister wives' and this is the only way to get that IRL without getting jailed for polygamy

 

[DoomsdayElite]

That should be one hell of a honeymoon.

 

[Megaton Punch]

I'll just answer the question literally everyone is going to click this thread for: yes, if he fucks one of them he fucks both of them. They each have sensation split right down the midline. It's not like the other sister can ignore it, because she's going to feel it too.

I guess they're okay with every session being a threesome, because that's the only option they have.

 

[SpotOnTheWall]

What happens if one of the pair doesn't want to have sex, but the husband fucks them anyway? Is that rape?

 

[DiggieSmalls]

absolutely disgusting. not saying they shouldnt find love, but the guy marrying that is a straight up freak.

I remember seeing a documentary on them when they were teens that very specifically stated they had two uteruses next to each other as well. So depending how he aims, he could impregnate the wrong sister.

I wonder what would happen if the other sister pulls a Patty and goes lesbian?

No shit! One of them would just be a head like they're a nineties celebrity on futurama! What were they even thinking, split them down the middle like gumby?

Hold on a second, if they were born in 1990 how were they 16 in 2003? There is something off in this story about a two headed woman getting married.

I have so many questions and I don't want any of them answered.

Better question would be what if one sister goes full troon and wants to do hormone therapy and the other wants nothing to do with it. The more you think about the whole situation the more fucked up it gets. I wouldn't put it past them to deliberately have him knock them both up. I mean who else is going to want to sign up for that shitshow

 

[Pierre D'Olnique]

He has that look. It's not going to end well.

 

[ProfDongs]

What a living, walking nightmare. Obviously they both consulted on this but I guess the one on the right is just permanent third wheel, even thinking about how the other would have a relationship much less get married raises a lot of questions. Comically I'm thinking three to a bed with each husband sleeping on the side his wife's head is on.

 

[Snekposter]

Indeed not. And he's a nurse, which bodes even worse for the two women. He's going to troon out sooner or later.

Conjoined twins have a long history of weird family lives. Look up the original Siamese Twins (Eng and Chang) from the 1840’s:

They became American citizens, bought slaves, married local sisters, and fathered 21 children, several of whom accompanied them when they resumed touring. Chang and Eng's respective families lived in separate houses, where the twins took alternating three-day stays.

Double toppy = double sloppy

Shitposting aside, how does this work? Did they come to a consensus? Is there a dominant head and she makes the rules?

PLOT TWIST: the dude has two penises and can hit both at the same time and that's the reason they married him.

Bro I didn't even think about that. Blowjobs are gonna be like a fucking car wash with the rollers on both sides LMAO.

 

[Twinkie]

It's not legal to have two wives so he's legally married to just one and they're trying to keep it classy in the article, but this is a thruple. He makes out with both heads and talks dirty to both heads.

And I mean if you think about it they have the same vagina so they like have no choice but to masturbate together so it's not like they're not already accustomed to fucking each other.

This is gross people like this should stay inside not have TV shows and twee articles written about them.

 

[Battlefield2142EU]

Does one head spits while the other shallows?

Bro, if you don't think he married them both even though it's only one on paper, I got a bridge to sell you. I think given the... unique circumstances of the women, it's probably gonna work.
