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.
