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.

    The sisters are both teaching fifth grade in Minnesota

    My question is do they get paid double the salary of a single teacher or not?

      I kind of laughed when I read this - it would be really awkward if they weren’t both teachers.

      Abby: “Good morning class, today we’re going around the room to talk about what we did over break.”

      Brittany: "Stupid little shits, I wanted to be a pilot! We could have taken turns sleeping and been a dynamic duo for international travel 😢 "

        There is the two women joined at the head where one has a job and the other is a singer.

          Yep, they also have a very interesting life. What I really like about them is that the singer sings country music and her sister hates country music but has learned to cope.

      According to some articles I skimmed, no, since they’re doing one job. They’re pushing for more though.

        They probably get every benefit once and every bill twice.

        Well first i thought they should get 1.5 people’s salary, but then i factored in the wage gap. To make up that difference would mean. Increasing the base pay by 18%. So it’d be 118% + 59%, or 177% base pay.

        Or they could do the right thing and give them both a full wage.
