Who Are Abby and Brittany Hensel?
Abby and Brittany opened their eyes on 7 March 1990. These beautiful children were born in a place where miracles are naturalistically explained, and sound science broadens its spectrum every minute.
Not only did their birth bring joy to their parents, but it also raised a set of questions that had yet to be answered and explained. Abby and Brittany are not just conjoined twins but dicephalic parapagus twins.
To this date, Abby and Brittany are one of the 12 sets of conjoined twins, joined in their torsos and controlled over one side of their bodies.
Although they have a single body, each has a separate heart, stomach, spine, spinal cord, and lungs.
In addition, both of them have control over one arm and one leg. Consequently, Abby and Brittany require cooperation to operate essential functions like clapping, brushing their hair, walking, running, swimming, and driving a car.
Furthermore, their feet are also different in height and length. Brittany is 4 feet and 10 inches (1.47m) tall, whereas Abby is 5 feet and 2 inches (1.57m) tall. Because of their different heights, they have always had a tough time.

Joking about their love life in an interview, Brittany said: “The whole world doesn’t need to know who we are seeing, what we are doing, and when we are going to do it. But believe me, we are different people.”
For this reason, the love life of these girls is still a mystery.
