Abby and Brittany Hensel were in full-on family mode this weekend, embracing the simple joys of hometown life in Minnesota while keeping busy with their furry sidekicks.
The conjoined twins, 35, stepped out to handle their to-do list over the weekend, reportedly making a stop at the pet groomer to get their labradoodle spruced up while Abby’s husband, Josh Bowling, picked up some groceries at the local market.
Abby and Brittany kept it low-key as they went about their day, sporting a teal tank top paired with gray shorts and sandals in the latest photos published by TMZ on Wednesday, August 27, showing the twins with their two pups.
While they were at the groomer, Bowling was spotted loading items from his shopping cart into the trunk of his car, wearing a gray T-shirt, tan cargo shorts, flip-flops and a baseball cap.
Earlier this month, Abby and Brittany were seen loading a newborn strapped in a car seat into a Tesla in Arden Hills on August 14. They safely secured the baby in the back before closing the door. The twins have yet to address reports about their relation to the child.
Abby tied the knot with Bowling, a military veteran and nurse, in November 2021, and through that union she also became the stepmom to his 8-year-old daughter, Isabella.
Fans got to know the twins through several documentaries and when they appeared in a short-lived reality series, Abby & Brittany, on TLC in 2012.
Abby and Brittany are dicephalic conjoined twins, a rare form of partial twinning with two heads side by side on one torso. They share the same bloodstream and all organs below the waist. The girls’ parents, Mike and Patty Hensel, opted against separating them after birth in 1990.
“We never wish we were separated,” Abby and Brittany said in the 2007 documentary Extraordinary People: The Twins Who Share a Body. “Because then we wouldn’t get to do the things we can do — play softball, meet new people, run.”
In the past, the twins noted they are quite candid about some aspects of their lives, but don’t like to share everything with the public.
“The whole world doesn’t need to know who we’re dating or what we’re gonna do,” they said in a 2006 documentary, Joined For Life: Abby & Brittany Turn 16.
In the same doc, Brittany spoke about their hopes to one day expand their family. “Yeah, we’re going to be moms,” she added. “We haven’t thought about how being moms is going to work yet.”
