The twins are Unstoppable
The video had no caption but had Sia’s Unstoppable playing in the background, which could be a roaring message that the twins are defying all odds to be where they are today. However, the twins made no official statement to confirm or deny the pregnancy rumors.
The twins’ unique anatomy
The twins shared another video, thoroughly talking about their unique anatomy. Turns out that Abby controls the right side of their body, while Brittany is in charge of the left. They do have their separate organs but they share the same reproductive system and liver.
How they garnered fame
The twins’ first rise to fame happened when they made it on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996. Later throughout the years, they kept sharing their pictures on social media, especially those of their wedding when Abby married Josh Bowling in 2021.
They had their own reality TV show
The twins, who worked as teachers, starred in several reality TV shows after their appearance with Oprah in 1996. They even had their own TLC series, Abby and Brittany, tackling different aspects of their lives as conjoined twins, which premiered in 2012.
Their rare condition
The twins have a rare form of conjoining known as dicephalic parapagus, where they both share the same torso. As for Abby and Brittany, they both share the same bloodstream and all organs below the waist. They each control their own heads, though.
They stayed out of the spotlight for a while
After their reality show, the pair stayed away from the spotlight, with the exception of sporadic TikToks and Facebook posts every now and then. The twins decided against separation surgery due to the high risk of death. Additionally, their wedding only shone to light after they announced it in March.
