According to TODAY, Abby Hensel, who is from Minnesota, married Josh Bowling, a nurse and army veteran, in 2021 as per public records.

Abby and Brittany Hensel, who are conjoined twins, gained popularity in the United States when they starred in their own reality television series on TLC.

The twin sisters were born in 1990 and have an extraordinary physical feature of having two heads, two hearts, and two sets of lungs. However, everything else in their body is shared. Despite this condition, each twin is capable of controlling her portion of the body, resulting in an exceptional level of coordination. The twins' abilities allow them to drive effortlessly, and they have both attained degrees in education from university.

Abby and Brittany Hensel's TikTok account, @abbyandbrittanyhensel, recently uploaded a video in honor of Abby's special occasion. To add to the commemoration, Britt and Abby's Facebook account also shared a snapshot of the pair.

In the 2021 event, the twins showed up in a sleeveless wedding gown with lace trimming and the groom was sporting a grey suit. Currently employed as fifth grade teachers, the duo lives in their hometown of Minnesota, where they were brought up by a nurse and a carpenter parent.

The young females have a condition called dicephalic parapagus, which indicates that they are attached to each other on their sides and have two heads.

These creatures possess dual pelvic spines, dual heart organs, dual food passages, dual stomachs, triple kidney structures, paired gall bladders, four lungs with two connecting them, a solitary liver, a singular ribcage, a combined circulatory network, and somewhat shared nervous systems.

The lower half of the body has all the organs, which are also inclusive of the reproductive organs.

In 1990, they came into the world with an incomplete extra limb. Later, when they reached the age of 12, the arm was taken off. In addition, they also underwent an operation to rectify their spine's curvature and improve their respiratory function.

In 1996, they became known around the world after they appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and were featured on the cover of Life Magazine. They lived in Minnesota and kept a low profile, avoiding media attention until they were featured in a documentary on TLC when they turned 16.
