Abby Hensel, one of the conjoined twins, secretly got married in 2021 to Josh Bowling, a nurse and US Army veteran. However, recent media reports indicate that Bowling is currently facing a paternity lawsuit filed by another woman, which has entangled him in a legal battle. This news comes just days after Abby's secret marriage to Joshua Bowling was revealed to the public. The lawsuit was filed in 2023, approximately two years after Joshua Bowling's wedding.

Abby and her twin sister Brittany became famous when they appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show back in 1996. Since then, they've had their own reality TV show on TLC, where they shared their lives with viewers. Born with a rare condition called dicephalus, they share a single body but possess distinct personalities and dreams. 

The Allegations 

The genesis of this lawsuit came to light on April 1st, 2024, when the NY Post uncovered the details of Annica Bowling's legal actions against Joshua. Annica, aged 33 and Joshua's former spouse, has filed a paternity case, asserting that Joshua is the father of her daughter, Isabella. Court documents reveal that Joshua and Annica had been married since 2010 and shared joint custody of their eight-year-old daughter prior to their separation in April 2019.

Notably, Isabella was the only daughter listed for the former couple until Annica gave birth to another daughter in late 2020, after their separation. The timing of this birth raises questions about the paternity of the second child, particularly as she is a minor, as noted in the court documents.

Reports indicate that Annica has initiated legal proceedings in Washington County, Minnesota, seeking DNA evidence from both Joshua and another individual named Gavin.
