Abby and Brittany Hensel, who documented their lives in the TLC reality series “Abby & Brittany,” have a new member of the family.

Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel first gained national attention when they appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 1996.

Now the sisters have reached a major life milestone: Abby is married.

The Hensels later starred in the feel-good TLC reality series “Abby and Brittany,” which showed them driving, traveling to Europe and even riding a moped. When the show ended after one season, Abby and Brittany had just graduated from college with degrees in education.

A lot has happened in the last decade. Abby, 34, is now married. According to public records, Abby, a teacher, and Josh Bowling, a nurse and United States Army veteran, tied the knot in 2021. The sisters also shared photos of the wedding on social media. The couple live in Minnesota, where the Hensels were born and raised.

I always figured they'd have to have a sort of poly marriage, where they picked a guy they both like and he likes them. How does being married only to one work I wonder

Legally they probably had to pick one on the marriage certificate. Logistically, it seems like it has to be a polyamorous relationship considering they share organs below the waist.

I agree it’s probably a poly relationship between the 3 of them but only 1 is legally married to the man. It’s definitely a package deal.

"I only wanna fuck you, Abby, I hate your sister"

In that case I imagine one twin would be tempted to bite some testicles.

it might still be, the law doesn't recognize poly marriages
