Conjoined Twins Abby and Brittany Hensel Break Silence on Photos with Baby

Abby and Brittany Hensel are breaking their silence on the recent photos taken of them with a newborn.

The conjoined twins and former reality stars shared a TikTok on Saturday, Aug. 30, featuring several pictures that surfaced of the two of them carrying a baby over the past few weeks. In the caption for the video, which was set to Dr Dre’s “Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang,” the twins simply wrote “Blessed.”

They also wrote several hashtags in the caption, including the words “sisterhood” and “respect.”

Abby and Brittany were first photographed holding a newborn baby on Thursday, Aug. 14, They carried its car seat into their waiting car, according to photos first published by TMZ. The sisters were seen in a parking lot in Arden Hills, Minnesota, as they loaded the car seat into a black Tesla.

Nearly two weeks later, they were pictured again running errands with their family dog and Abby’s husband, Josh Bowling, as seen in photos first published by TMZ. The outlet reported that the sisters were dropping their labradoodle off at the groomer, as Bowling went on a grocery run at a nearby supermarket.

Then, the conjoined twins were seen holding a baby in a car seat near the Minnesota school where they work on Wednesday, Aug. 27, per photos and footage obtained exclusively by The U.S. Sun.

The Minnesota natives — who are dicephalic parapagus twins, meaning they have two heads but share one body — could be seen chatting with another person as they held the baby carrier outside of the school, the footage shows.

The twins, who are fifth-grade teachers, also took the baby out of the car seat and brought the child into the school for about half an hour to meet their co-workers, according to The Sun‘s report. The person they were photographed with outside was a colleague, per the outlet.

Neither Abby, Brittany nor Abby’s husband has publicly commented on the identity of the child. The sisters have not responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Last year, news broke that Bowling had married Abby. Though the couple tied the knot in 2021, their wedding was not made public until March 2024, when Today obtained records confirming that the nuptials had taken place.

After news of their marriage went public, Bowling changed his Facebook profile photo to feature both his wife, Abby, and her conjoined twin sister, Brittany.

The picture was a cozy, smiley selfie featuring the trio, and appeared to have been snapped in cooler weather. Bowling wore a dark gray jacket and purple sweater, while the twins appeared to be wearing a dark, V-neck sweater.

Before the selfie, which Bowling shared on Sept. 5, his past profile photos on Facebook did not include his wife or her conjoined twin, according to what is shared publicly on his account.
