For weeks, a question has captivated the internet: have conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel welcomed a baby? The rumors reached a fever pitch after the sisters, both 35, were spotted carrying a newborn and later, a baby in a car seat. The speculation intensified when a viral TikTok account, seemingly run by the twins, posted a cryptic message that fans took as confirmation. Now, Abby’s husband, Josh, is setting the record straight. In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, he confirms the TikTok account is fraudulent and asks for privacy for his family.
The TikTok account at the center of the controversy has amassed significant followers by posting photos of the twins and, more recently, photos of them with a baby. The account, which has since been removed or made private, added fuel to the fire by posting a picture of the sisters with the caption, “Blessed,” which was widely reported as their official confirmation.
Josh, a U.S. Army veteran and nurse, revealed that he and the twins are aware of the account but initially chose to ignore it. “At first, we just assumed it was someone trying to make a quick buck or something, so it wasn’t worth saying anything,” he said. The account’s popularity grew, however, and when media outlets began to report the account as official, he realized he had to act. “After [the] media believed [it] to actually be us, I knew I had to say something.”

He shared with PEOPLE that he and the twins have never owned a TikTok account and made their individual Facebook accounts private a while ago. He believes the impersonator account is run by an individual who initially downloaded photos from his mother’s Facebook page before it was made private. “They [...] started using photos available to the media and everyone else. I can definitely guarantee that it’s not us,” he said.
Navigating a Public Life While Seeking Privacy
The Hensel twins, who are dicephalus conjoined twins, have lived much of their lives in the public eye. After a 2012 TLC reality show, they retreated from the spotlight to live quiet lives as elementary school teachers in Minnesota, where they were born and raised.
Their lives were a private matter until news of Abby’s 2021 marriage to Josh broke in 2024. The couple’s quiet life together remained out of the public eye until recent events caused them to be thrust back into the spotlight.
Josh says he understands the intense interest in their family’s life, but he does not wish to comment on whether they have welcomed a child. “I understand the extreme interest,” he said, adding that he does not wish to provide comment on the matter at this time.
The family’s statement serves as a reminder that even for those who have lived in the public eye, there is a boundary between public curiosity and private life. The family, which has always been private, has chosen to keep their personal life to themselves, and it is a request that they hope will be respected.
