Who are the Hensel twins?

CONJOINED twins Abby and Brittanybravely defied doctors concerns after they were born with a rare condition known as dicephalic parapagus in 1990.

Both women have their own heart, stomach and pair of lungs, but share a single body from the waist down.

Abby is in control of the right side of their body where as Brittany controls the left side.

Mother Patty, a nurse, and father Mike, a carpenter, had no idea they were having twins until the two girls came out.

Separating the babies would have required a hugely invasive and dangerous surgery that the parents weren't prepared to commit to.

They say they rejected the idea because of the high risk of further disabilities and the fact both would be wheelchair-bound with one arm and one leg.

The twins first burst into the public eye when they were aged six as they appeared on theOprah Winfrey Showin 1996.

On the show they explained how they operate the world together despite being permanently attached.

In their early teens, Abby and Brittany became the focus of a hit 2003 documentary named Joined For Life.

But with their young lives being on show the pair quickly encountered dreadful and nasty online trolls who taunted and teased them over their appearance and disability.

This caused the Hensel twins to keep their adult lives quiet including Abby's marriage.

After going through college the pair became fifth grade math teachers at a school in New Brighton, Minnesota.

The unique yet glorious wedding took place back in 2021 but it wasn't until April 2024 that the first pictures started to emerge.

After the couple went public they revealed the hateful comments they'd been subjected to in an online post.

Brittany and Josh wrote: “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.”

Unfortunately for the newlyweds, another public scandal surfaced whenJosh was hit with a paternity suit by his ex-wife Annica.
