Abby and Brittany, who were born with a rare condition called dicephalic parapagus, made headlines in 2021 when they announced one of them, Abby’s, marriage to US Army veteran Josh Bowling.
Now, the twins have posted a clip to their over 303,000 followers, using the made-up headline “Married and baby on the way” to slam the fake news around their relationship.
The video shares several other headlines that have featured in the news cycle recently, including one that reads “This is so tragic” and “What if one of them dies?”
The 30- second video was shared on November 18, with the twins having yet to be spotted or share any other news since.
The video even fooled the pair’s fans, with several of them rushing to congratulate the pair.
One person said: “Congratulations on the upcoming baby announcement!!!”
Another user commented: “Congratulations!”
Someone else wrote: “Congratulations on being pregnant. You will make great moms.”
The twins are yet to directly respond to the rumours or to their fans who commented on the video.
Just days before their rumored pregnancy announcement, the twins shared sweet snaps of life with Abby’s husband, Josh Bowling.
They also took to TikTok and urged their followers to go vote.
In their caption, the 34-year-old sisters penned a reminder to their fans: “Don’t forget to #vote!”
WEDDING BLISS
Abby and Brittany were forced to hit back at trolls who mocked them for Abby’s wedding in 2021.
The reality TV stars sent out a message to haters after recently releasing more footage from Abby’s big day.
Captioned “We know you think you know us”, the twins also used Justine Skye’s 2014 song Collide in the background, with the lyrics: “I know you think that you know me, but you ain’t even seen my dark side.
“It’s reserved for you only so baby do me right, do me right.”
Pictures released by Abby show her and Brittany in a white wedding dress alongside 33-year-old Josh in a grey suit.
In the TikTok post, which was viewed by millions, the couple gushed that they were “happy” and in “love”.
They also shared lots of pictures from their happy day, including showing them during their first dance and posing with a little bridesmaid.
Who are the Hensel twins?
The pair defied doctors when they survived by being born with rare condition dicephalic parapagus on March 7, 1990, at a hospital in the rural Minnesotan town of New Germany in the US.
Each has their own heart, stomach and pair of lungs, but they share a single body from the waist down.
Abby controls their right arm and leg, while Brittany controls the left side.
Parents Patty, a nurse, and Mike, a carpenter, were not even aware they were having twins, let alone conjoined ones, until Patty gave birth.
Patty later said: “From the first time we saw them, we thought they were beautiful.”
The couple opted to limit their exposure to the media to give the girls a chance at a normal life.
To separate the babies would have basically meant cutting them right down the middle.
The twins first burst into the public eye when they were aged six as they appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996.
On the show they explained how they operate the world together despite being permanently attached.
In their early teens, Abby and Brittany became the focus of a hit 2003 documentary named Joined For Life.
But with their young lives being on show the pair quickly encountered dreadful and nasty online trolls who taunted and teased them over their appearance and disability.
This caused the Hensel twins to keep their adult lives quiet including Abby’s marriage.
After going through college the pair became fifth grade math teachers at a school in New Brighton, Minnesota.
In a documentary about their lives, the pair said: “People have been curious about us since we were born, for obvious reasons.
“But our parents never let us use that as an excuse. We were raised to believe we could do anything we wanted to do.
“The most amazing thing about us is we are like everyone else.”
Even their fans were left convinced of the newsTikTok
