Abby, a teacher, married nurse and United States Army veteran Josh Bowling in 2021, and the 34-year-old former TLC reality stars shared a compilation video of their special day on TikTok earlier this month.

The May 4 video was backed by Swift’s song “But Daddy I Love Him” and featured four photos of the twins and Abby’s hubby.

The video, which has garnered 3.4 million views, begins with a shot of Abby, Brittany and Bowling posing with a young flower girl holding a bouquet of flowers on the big day.

A second photo shows Abby and Brittany in their wedding dress, standing alongside Bowling in a gray suit in front of candles and a floral display.

The final two photos in the montage don’t appear to be from the wedding, but are more posed pictures of the three of them.

“#forever,” the caption read.

Abby and Bowling’s 2021 union at the Jerome Event Center in Delano, Minnesota, didn’t become known to the public until Today.com obtained public records confirming the nuptials in March 2024.

Abby reportedly did not list her twin as a witness to her marriage. Abby and Bowling both listed her other sister Morgan Hensel and a person named Cosmo Naut as the witnesses.

The twins first gained national attention in 1996 when they appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” and they eventually got their own reality show on TLC called “Abby & Brittany”

Abby and Brittany are dicephalic conjoined twins, which means they have two heads side by side on one torso, sharing the same organs below the waist as well as the same bloodstream.

Brittany has control of their left arm and leg, while Abby has control of the right side.
