The internet is buzzing with baby speculation about Abby and Brittany Hensel, the world-famous conjoined twins—but Abby’s husband, Josh Bowling, says people are being misled.
Bowling is speaking out publicly for the first time about a viral TikTok account that has been fueling rumors that the sisters recently welcomed a child. According to him, the account is 100% fake and does not belong to either of the twins—or himself.
Viral TikTok Fuels Baby Buzz
The latest wave of gossip began after Abby and Brittany were photographed in Minnesota last month, pushing a stroller and carrying a newborn. The sighting immediately sparked chatter online about whether the sisters were expanding their family.
Days later, a TikTok account posted the paparazzi photo on August 30, captioning it “Blessed.” For many, that single word felt like confirmation. Within hours, the video racked up thousands of views, comments, and shares, fueling headlines across platforms.
But according to Josh Bowling, it’s all smoke and mirrors.
Josh Bowling Calls Out the Fakes
Speaking to PEOPLE, Bowling made it clear:
“We can definitely guarantee that it’s not us. We’ve never had TikTok accounts.”
Bowling explained that the TikTok page has been stealing personal photos, many of which were originally posted on his mom’s social media before being recycled online.
“We’re unsure who exactly runs it,” he added. “They started using photos available to the media and everyone else.”
The family initially chose to ignore the account, but once people began treating the posts as fact, Bowling felt compelled to shut down the speculation.
Staying Silent on the Baby Question
While Josh was quick to dismiss the TikTok account, he remained tight-lipped about the bigger question: whether Abby and Brittany have indeed welcomed a baby.
That silence only adds fuel to the fire, with fans dissecting every public appearance and paparazzi photo for clues. Still, for now, the family seems determined to keep their personal life out of the spotlight.
The Hensel Twins’ Unique Journey
Abby and Brittany Hensel, now 34, first rose to international fame after appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the late ’90s. Born conjoined at the torso, they share one body but have distinct personalities and lives.
The twins starred in the 2012 TLC reality series “Abby & Brittany”, which followed their journey into adulthood. Since then, they’ve mostly stepped away from public life, working as teachers in Minnesota while keeping their private lives off social media.
That’s why the recent baby rumors—and the viral TikTok account—have gained so much traction. Fans, curious about the twins’ lives as adults, are quick to latch onto any scrap of information, even if it’s unverified.
Why the Fake TikTok Matters
Fake accounts are hardly new, but when it comes to public figures like the Hensels—whose lives have been under intense media scrutiny since childhood—the stakes are higher.
The viral TikTok not only spreads misinformation but also blurs the line between privacy and public curiosity. By recycling family photos and disguising them as “updates,” the account created a narrative that the Hensels never signed off on.
Bowling’s statement underscores the challenges the family faces in balancing normalcy with public fascination.
The Pop Radar Take
At the end of the day, Josh Bowling’s comments make one thing clear: don’t believe everything you see online. While curiosity about Abby and Brittany Hensel has always been high, the couple is drawing a line when it comes to fabricated updates and stolen content.
As for the baby rumors? The family isn’t saying yes—or no—leaving fans to speculate until the Hensels themselves choose to share their truth.
