Conjoined Twins Abby and Brittany Hensel Seen Out with Newborn Baby Over a Year After News of Abby's Marriage Became Public
The photos come four years after Abby Hensel married her husband Josh Bowling in 2021 NEED TO KNOW Abby and Brittany Hensel were photographed carrying a newborn baby The conjoined twins were seen carrying a car seat with a baby in it as they entered a Tesla News broke last year in March that Abby had married a man named Josh Bowling Abby and Brittany Hensel were seen carrying a newborn baby while out running errands. The conjoined twins were photographed holding a newborn baby as 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, on Thursday, Aug. 14, as they loaded the car seat into a black Tesla. Abby and Brittany did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. Last year, news broke that Joshua 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. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. 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. Prior to the selfie, which Bowling shared on Sept. 5, his past profile photos on Facebook have not included his wife or her conjoined twin, according to what is shared publicly on his account. In June 2024, the twins posted a TikTok of Abby and Bowling's wedding dance, which was set to an upbeat remix of "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele. In the clip, the TLC stars swayed side to side with their arms around Bowling's neck as his hands rested on their waist. Abby and Brittany also posted another TikTok video the same day, with the caption, "We know you think you know us🖤❤️🔥 #sisterhoodgoals #abbyandbrittanyhensel #happy." It included various clips of the two sisters together and featured Justine Skye's track "Collide," as the soundtrack. The two are dicephalic conjoined twins and share the same bloodstream and organs below the waist. Abby controls their right arm and leg, while Brittany controls the left. The twins first gained fame after they appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996, as well as gracing the cover of LIFE, and went on to star in a TLC reality show, Abby & Brittany, which showed their journey as they graduated from Minnesota's Bethel College and traveled over Europe.

Deion Sanders, Colorado Dealt Concerning Recruiting Prediction
Deion Sanders, Colorado Dealt Concerning Recruiting Prediction originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When it comes to the 2026 recruiting class, the Colorado Buffaloes and Deion Sanders have struggled. So far, only landing 11 commitments, ranking No. 15 in the Big 12 and No. 65 in the nation. Their luck could soon change, with Rivals' Steve Wiltfong reporting that the Buffaloes, along with the Michigan Wolverines, the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Maryland Terrapins are the four finalists for athlete CJ Sadler. It's a high-powered battle, with Rivals Industry Rankings placing Sadler as a four-star recruit, the No. 6 athlete, the No. 1 player in Michigan and the No. 123 player in the nation. Working at both wide receiver and cornerback in 2024 for Cass Tech High School, he was solid, accumulating 51 receptions, 828 yards, nine touchdowns, 46 tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack and one interception. Sadler Predicted to Pass on Colorado Unfortunately for Sanders and the Buffaloes, their chances of coming out on top are weak, with Rivals' Greg Smith logging an expert prediction for Sadler to choose North Carolina and head coach Bill Belichick. "With me with Coach Belichick, I had to just sit down and actually take it all in because it's Coach Belichick we're talking about,' Sadler said, according to Smith. "He coached Tom Brady and he's one of the greatest coaches ever in NFL history. Talking to him and soaking up game and talking football with him was great for sure.' For the Tar Heels, this would be a big addition to their 2026 recruiting class, which already features 35 commitments, ranking No. 4 in the ACC and No. 20 in the nation. Colorado Shouldn't Give Up on Sadler However, the Buffaloes shouldn't completely lose hope on this battle, because the athlete has previously given some major praise to the way Sanders runs the program. 'They have a great coaching staff. Coach Prime he just love the kids, love the players, he all about them," Sadler previously told Wiltfong. "That's very exciting and one thing to look at.' With a decision coming Friday, Colorado has only a few days left to turn things story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
