In response to growing speculation about whether the twins had welcomed a child, Abby and Brittany Hensel shared a TikTok video this past Saturday. The video featured a montage of images showing the sisters with a baby over the past several weeks.
The post was captioned simply, “Blessed,” and included the hashtags #sisterhood and #respect, reflecting both their close bond and the positive energy surrounding the video.
As of now, neither Brittany, Abby, nor Abby’s husband, Josh, have publicly commented on the identity of the baby, nor have they confirmed or denied whether a newborn has joined their family.
The Hensel twins have spoken in the past about the idea of motherhood. Back in 2006, Brittany shared, “Yeah, we’re going to be moms. We haven’t thought about how being moms is going to work yet,” highlighting both their long-standi
Abby made headlines last year when it was revealed that she had married her husband, Josh, in 2021. The ceremony was intentionally private, away from the media spotlight, but the couple later shared glimpses of their special day on TikTok, giving fans a rare peek into their celebration.
The pressing question many wonder about, however, is whether Abby and Brittany could become mothers. While some assume that their unique conjoined condition would make pregnancy impossible, their mother, Patty Hensel, has shared insights that inspire hope. In the documentary Joined For Life, Patty explained that both twins have expressed a deep desire to become moms one day. She also noted that their shared organs are fully functional, which could make motherhood biologically possible.
Despite immense public curiosity surrounding their lives, the twins have never openly discussed their sex life, maintaining a level of privacy about aspects of their personal experiences that extend beyond the extraordinary nature of their physical condition.
Because the Hensel twins share a single set of genitals, any physical stimulation in that area would be felt by both sisters, explained Alice Dreger, a professor of clinical medical humanities and bioethics at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, in an article for The Atlantic.
When asked whether both twins experience orgasm simultaneously, Dreger admitted, “We don’t know.” She further noted that sensation can vary significantly between conjoined twins in different parts of the body, making it difficult to predict how any particular physical experience will play out in practice.
