A popular TikTok seemingly run by conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel is fake, Abby’s husband, Josh Bowling, has told People.
The account recently featured a video showing pictures of the 35-year-olds carrying a child in a stroller set to the 1993 Dr Dre. song “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang.”

“We’re unsure who exactly runs it,” he said of the TikTok account in a statement to People on Saturday. “But I believe [it’s run by] someone who [downloaded] a significant amount of photos from my mother’s [Facebook] account.”
“They […] started using photos available to the media and everyone else. I can definitely guarantee that it’s not us.”
Bowling went on to note that they made their individual Facebook accounts private some time ago and Abby and Brittany do not own a TikTok account.
“At first, we just assumed it was someone trying to make a quick buck or something, so it wasn’t worth saying anything,” he told the outlet. “After [the] media believed [it] to actually be us, I knew I had to say something.”

Brittany and Abby — the latter of whom is married to Bowling — were photographed with the baby Aug. 14. The TMZ photos showed the sisters putting a car seat into their vehicle in a parking lot in Arden Hills, Minnesota.

Abby married Bowling, an Army veteran, in 2021, though the wedding wasn’t made public until Today.com obtained public records confirming the nuptials in March 2024.
Abby reportedly did not list her twin as a witness to her marriage. Abby and Bowling both listed her other sister, Morgan Hensel, and a person named Cosmo Naut as the witnesses.
