Man who married conjoined twin Abby Hensel hit with paternity ...

Army veteran Josh Bowling, who split with former wife Annica Bowling in 2019 shares an 8-year-old daughter, Isabella, with his ex.

Abby (34) from Minnesota, who is a conjoined twin with sister Brittany, and Josh (33) married in 2021, almost two years after his divorce.

Court records seen by DailyMail.com show Annica filed the paternity lawsuit suit against Josh who she married in 2010, and another man named Gavin Vatnsdal, in October 2023.

After Josh and Annica's divorce was finalised on April 23, 2020, Annica had another child later that year who in court documents is referred to as “Isabella's half-sister”.

According to the Daily Mail, it is unclear which child paternity is being tested for. A genetic test report was filed to the court on March 7 that is not available for public viewing.

Abby and Brittany Hensel rose to fame after they first made an appearance on an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996 when they were just six-years-old.

A TV show on American channel TLC ‘Abby & Brittany’ documented major life events such as their high school graduation and how they embarked on job hunting.

A clip was recently posted on the TikTok account @abbyandbrittanyhensel showing off Abby's wedding day .

A Facebook account entitled Britt And Abby also featured a picture of the happy couple.

A video thought to have been recorded by one of their guests and shared on social media showed the twins and the groom enjoying a dance during the big day.

One photo shows the twins in a stunning white dress while Abby's husband appears in a light grey suit. In another, Abby can be seen smiling alongside Brittany and posing with Josh while beaming for the camera.

The conjoined twins have since broken their silence in a social media post after news emerged that one of them is now married.

“The internet is extra LOUD today,” the twins wrote on their joint TikTok account.

Sharing images of sculptures depicting conjoined twins, Abby and Brittany added: “We have always been around.”

They also posted another TikTok showing a photo with Josh and wrote: “This is a message to all the haters out there.

“If you don't like what I do, but watch everything I'm doing, you're still a fan.”

Abby and Brittany are fifth grade maths teachers at an elementary school in New Brighton, Minnesota, where they were born and raised.

One of only a few sets of dicephalus twins in history to survive infancy, the pair share a single body, and all their organs from the waist down, including the intestine, bladder and reproductive organs, are shared, though they have two hearts.

The women are joined at the torso, with each person controlling their half of the body, though some features differ, such as Brittany being slightly shorter.

Abby controls their right arm and leg, while Brittany controls the left.

Their mother told a documentary filmed when the girls were teenagers how they were keen to have children of their own one day.

“That is probably something that could work because those organs do work for them,” she explained.

Brittany also expressed their desire to have families of their own in another interview where she said: “The whole world doesn't need to know who we are seeing, what we are doing and when we are going to do it. But believe me, we are totally different people.”

While they have previously dismissed speculation about their private lives, even as teenagers they spoke about wanting to have children.

“People have been curious about us since we were born, for obvious reasons,” the twins said in the first episode of their eight-part series, according to ABC News.

“But our parents never let us use that as an excuse. We were raised to believe we could do anything we wanted to do.”

In a 2001 interview with Time, the twins' father Mike said his daughters had already then asked about finding husbands one day.

“They're good-looking girls. They're witty. They've got everything going for them, except they're together,” he added.
