Two very different girls share the same body, and their name is Abby and Brittany Hensel. Conjoined twins tackle every challenge since birth with smiles on their faces. A doctor told their parents when they were born that he didn’t expect them to live until the following day. Since their time on TLC, the twins have moved away from home, graduated from college, and even gotten jobs. The only question we could think of is what’s next for these over achievers? Since birth they have miraculously survived and continued to exceed expectations.
The Showstoppers
Abby and Brittany Hensel became internationally famous with TLC’s 2012 reality show Abby & Brittany.
The show portrayed the conjoined twins in a positive light, showing the world that despite their different appearances, they are just as capable and fun-loving as any other teen. Where they are now is quite stunning…
Life In The Spotlight
Although TLC’s Abby & Brittany wasn’t released until August 2012, the Hensel twins have been no strangers to the public eye, having appeared in popular media sources since the mid-90’s.
Their first experience with fame came on an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996, followed shortly by a cover feature in Life Magazine under the caption “One Body, Two Souls.” The article, titled The Hensels’ Summer, described the twins’ day-to-day life and was followed up just two years later.
