Abby and Brittany, 34, were born and raised in Minnesota, where they reside.

The reality TV stars had an eight-episode TLC series, “Abby & Brittany,” in 2012, which followed them through life events such as birthday parties and job interviews.

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

Documents obtained by TMZ revealed that Abby did not list her sister as a witness for the marriage.

Abby’s older sister, Morgan Hensel, and a person named Cosmo Naut were noted as witnesses.

Abby and Josh kept their nuptials quiet until they shared photos of the wedding ceremony on their TikTok, @abbyandbrittanyhensel.

In their TikTok post, they sported a long white gown and carried a bouquet made of white roses.

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

The sisters rose into the spotlight on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 1996, where they explained their lives as conjoined twins.

When Abby and Brittany were born in 1990, their parents, Patty and Mike Hensel, opted not to do surgery to separate them, because doctors said there was a small chance the girls would survive the operation, according to “Today.”

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

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.

As they explained, they share a bloodstream and all organs below the waist.

Abby controls their right arm and leg while Brittany controls the left side.

The sisters haven’t let their condition prevent them from driving, getting jobs and now getting married.

Earlier in the month, they were also spotted out and about at a Mexican eatery, where they snapped some photos with fans and Abby showed off her wedding ring.

The sisters also appeared in the 2003 documentary “Joined for Life,” where they said they wanted children in the future.

“Yeah, we’re going to be moms,” Brittany said at the time. “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.”
