The 35-year-old sisters were pictured in Arden Hills, Minnesota, gently placing the baby into a car seat before securing it inside their black Tesla. The rare sighting has immediately raised questions about whether the baby belongs to the twins, especially following recent revelations about their personal lives.

In 2024, it emerged that Abby had secretly married Josh Bowling, a nurse and U.S. Army veteran, back in 2021. The marriage came as a surprise when official records surfaced years later.

Shortly after the news broke, Bowling updated his Facebook profile to include a smiling selfie with both Abby and Brittany. The change drew attention since his previous posts had not featured the twins at all.

Although once frequent faces in the media, the Hensel twins have lived quieter lives in recent years. They now work as fifth-grade teachers in Minnesota, where colleagues and students admire their teamwork and determination.

Despite stepping back from television, the sisters have recently embraced social media. On TikTok, they shared clips from Abby and Josh’s wedding, including their first dance set to a remix of Adele’s Rolling in the Deep. Another video celebrated their lifelong bond with the caption: “We know you think you know us…”

The new photographs of the twins with a baby mark what appears to be a new chapter for them — one blending family life, their teaching careers, and renewed public interest.

While neither Abby, Brittany, nor Josh has confirmed if the baby is theirs, the images have generated widespread excitement and support online. Many have praised the sisters for continuing to live life fully and unapologetically on their own terms.
