Conjoined Twin Abby Hensel's Husband Josh Bowling Facing Paternity Suit from Ex-Wife

The suit was filed on March 23, 2023, nearly two years after Josh's 2021 marriage to Abby

Abby Hensel’s husband Josh Bowling is facing a paternity suit.

The case was filed by Josh’s ex-wife, Annica Bowling, on Oct. 2, 2023, about two years after Abby (who first gained notoriety with her conjoined twin sister Brittany on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996) and Josh, 34, tied the knot, documents obtained by PEOPLE show.

Annica, 33, filed the suit against both Josh, a nurse and United States Army veteran, and an individual named Gavin Vatnsdal, Minnesota court records show.

It may concern the paternity of Annica's youngest daughter, who was born after she split from Josh. However, the documents do not name the child in question because they are a minor.

A genetic test report was added to the file on March 7, according to court records. However, neither details about the test nor its results are publicly available.

Annica and Josh, who wed in 2010 and separated in 2019, share joint custody of daughter Isabella, 8.

In 2020, after the couple’s split, Annica had another daughter. The child, now 3, was referred to as “Isabella’s half sister” and a “non-joint minor child” of the ex-couple in their 2022 divorce documents.

It may be this is the child whose paternity is being contested. There is a motion hearing for the suit currently scheduled for April 19.

PEOPLE reached out to Abby for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

News of Abby and Josh’s 2021 nuptials was first reported by Today in March 2024. The twins' Facebook profile photo — as well as a TikTok video shared by the pair — show a glimpse into the couple’s wedding ceremony and relationship.

After news of Abby and Josh’s union became public, the TLC alum and her sister, who are now fifth grade teachers in Minnesota, took to their joint TikTok account to address the online attention they have received — and call out the "haters.”

“The internet is extra LOUD today,” the sisters captioned a slideshow of historical sculptures of conjoined twins.

“We have always been around ❤️,” they continued, adding the hashtags: “#abbyandbrittanyhensel #happy #love #lovestory #marriage.”

In a second video shared by the twins, captioned “#forever,” they embraced Josh in a photo as a voiceover said, “This is for all you haters out there. If you don’t like what I do but watch everything I’m doing — you’re still a fan.”
