Abby Hensel and Brittany are here to stay. Following the announcement of Abby Hensel’s union with Josh Bowling, the conjoined twins—whose inspirational tale has been featured in many documentaries—told the world they would not be silenced. The 34-year-old twins noted that their narrative truly endures the test of time.
“The internet is extra loud today,” the Hansels said as the title for a TikTok video they posted on March 28 that featured many historical sculptures of conjoined twins. “We have always been around.” When the Hensel family made an appearance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 1996 to discuss how they manage life with their special dynamic, they first attracted national notice.
Abby Hensel And Brittany Hensel Open Up About How They Share Their Life
Because Brittany Hensel is physiologically connected to her brother from the belly button down, the siblings must be extremely in sync with one another even if they can each sleep, eat, and communicate independently.
The 2007 film “Extraordinary People: The Twins Who Share a Body” also looked at their story. Brittany Hensel controls the left limbs, while Abby Hensel controls the right, as the document explains. They also share the liver and bladder, but they each have their own heart, brain, lungs, stomach, and kidney. As Brittany Hensel put it, “We are different people.” “We usually bargain with each other like, ‘If you do this, I’ll do that.’ Or we take turns.”
