Prior to this September 5th posting, Bowling's previous Facebook profile photos had been devoid of his wife or her twin, based on the publicly available content on his account.

This fresh image emerges after the news of Bowling's marriage to Abby broke earlier this year. Although they tied the knot in 2021, their wedding remained under wraps until March 2024, when records obtained by Today confirmed the joyous occasion. Asabby's wedding gained public attention, reigniting curiosity about their lives, the stars of Abby & Brittany began sharing more glimpses of their special day and heartfelt messages for their followers on social media.

In June, the twins posted a TikTok featuring Abby and Bowling's exhilarating wedding dance, set to an upbeat Adele remix of "Rolling in the Deep." The clip shows the TLC stars swaying gracefully, their arms draped around Bowling's neck while his hands rest affectionately on their waists.

That same day, the twins uploaded another TikTok, captioned, "We know you think you know us sisterhoodgoals #abbyandbrittanyhensel #happy." It showcased various clips of the sisters together, accompanied by Justine Skye's track "Collide." The lyrics, "I know you think that you know me / But you ain't even see my dark side / This is for you only / So baby do me right, do me right," echoed through the video, adding depth to their bond.

This footage followed a May TikTok, a compilation of tender snapshots from the wedding, including the sisters in their bridal gown and one posing with Bowling and a flower girl. "#Forever," they simply captioned the post, which was soundtracked by Taylor Swift's "But Daddy I Love Him," enhancing the romantic mood.

On the same day in May, the twins shared two additional TikToks. One featured a male voiceover stating, "To everyone who watches my life and gossips about it, don't give up. Season two is about to come out," over various photos of the twins. The other video, captioned "#Sisterhoodgoals," captured Abby and Brittany wandering through a store, set to Swift's "The Tortured Poets Department," showcasing their unbreakable sisterly bond.

Despite their occasional TikTok appearances — the most recent shared in August — Abby and Brittany maintain a predominantly private life. The twins reside in Minnesota, where they teach fifth grade. Meanwhile, Bowling works as a registered nurse and is a United States Army veteran.

Abby and Brittany, dicephalic conjoined twins, share the same bloodstream and organs below the waist. Abby controls their right arm and leg, while Brittany takes charge of the left. The twins first garnered fame after appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996 and gracing the cover of LIFE magazine. They later starred in the TLC reality show Abby & Brittany, documenting their journey through graduation from Bethel College in Minnesota and their travels across Europe.
