Abby and Brittany Hensel
Abby Loraine Hensel and Brittany Lee Hensel are conjoined twins from the United States, who became known in 2007 after starring in Abby & Brittany, an American reality series.
The conjoined twins are dicephalic (having 2 heads joined on 1 torso), and this is highly symmetric among conjoined twins, giving the appearance of an entire body without marked variation of typical proportions. Each has their own heart, stomach, etc.
Although Abby and Brittany each have a separate head, we’ll get to that. But they do share the same body. They both control one arm and one leg, but Abby controls her right side while Brittany controls her left. Learning to crawl, walk, clap, etc. requires cooperation as infants. They are also able to do things separately at the same time – e.g., eat or write simultaneously. Activities such as running or driving require coordinated action.
The Twin’s progress has been covered extensively in the media, with appearances on shows like Life magazine and The Oprah Winfrey Show. Abby and Brittany were interviewed on The Learning Channel in December 2006, talking about their day-to-day lives and future plans. They also starred in their own reality show that showcased their everyday lives, which was streamed live by millions of people.
Abby and Brittany Hensel Age
The twins were born on March 7th, 1990 to Patty, an RN, and Mike Hensel, a carpenter and landscaper. However, the Hensel’s turned 33 years old this year in 2024. In addition to their parents’ children, the twins also have a younger brother and sister.
Education
According to Wikipedia, they were raised in New Germany, Minnesota, and went to Mayer Lutheran High School in Mayer and later graduated from Bethel University in St. Paul back in 2012.
New Germany is a city in Carver County, USA. The population was 372 at the 2010 census. It’s interesting to note that many of its early-day settlers were of German descent, which may explain the name of the city. Hahaha, well the name Hensel sounds German too. Take that as you will!
Height
Abby is about 5’2″ tall. She’s taller than Brittany at 4’10”

Abby and Brittany Hensel Dating
We do not see any indications that the two are in a relationship as of now in 2022. Although, They started thinking about marriage and children at a very young age. At the time of their first interview with Discovery Channel in 2006, they were 16 years old and said that they hoped to date, get married, and have children one day.
However, there is one thing that separates them from other adults their age – they have two heads. This makes Abby & Brittany unique in all sorts of ways. They have two different personalities so they often have different opinions about things; at times it can be difficult for them to decide on what to do.

NO. The two twin sisters are doing well & healthy at the moment & work as teachers
They were featured in the movie “Abby & Brittany”, which is about how they learned to walk, talk, and dance together.
Abby and Brittany Hensel Separated
NO. The twins’ parents decided against surgery after hearing the prognosis. The chance of both of them surviving was very slim. As the twins grew and learned to walk and develop other skills, you can understand why their parents decided against separation – they argued that a separated twin or twins would have a less good quality of life than them living together.
Abby and Brittany Hensel Now
The twins both passed their driver’s license exams, both the written and practical tests. In spite of driving being a coordinated activity, they had to take the test twice once for each twin. Abby controls the right-hand side of the steering wheel, Brittany, the left. Together they control the car.
They are both college graduates of Bethel University in Arden Hills, Minnesota, who majored in education. The Hensel’s considered pursuing other concentrations within their major but felt that the coursework would be too much. They graduated with Bachelor of Arts degrees in 2012.
The twins usually have their own meals, but on occasion will join together for a single meal as this is more convenient.
They prefer to use “I” when they agree and their name when they disagree.
Abby and Brittany heavily dislike being stared at or photographed by strangers while going about their private lives. They would prefer that you don’t do that.
Organs
The twins have their own organs in their upper halves, but most that are located lower than the navel stay the same. The exception is the spinal cord.
2 heads, 2 spines, 2 completely separate spinal cords, 2 arms, 1 broad ribcage, 2 breasts, 2 hearts in a shared circulatory system, 4 lungs, 1 diaphragm, 2 stomachs, 2 gallbladders, 1 liver, Y-shaped small intestine, 1 large intestine (one colon, rectum, and anus), 3 kidneys: 2 left, 1 right, 1 bladder, 1 set of reproductive organs, 2 separate half-sacrums, 1 slightly broad pelvis, and 2 legs.
