1. They’ve settled into a quiet, private life after fame
After the spotlight faded, Abby and Brittany deliberately chose privacy and normalcy over celebrity. As of 2023, reports note that they “lead a quiet life” in their hometown area and avoid constant media attention. They’ve largely stepped back from social media, and public appearances are rare. That choice seems intentional: after growing up under intense public curiosity, from documentaries, news stories, and even a dedicated reality show, the sisters appear to cherish the calm of everyday life, focused on teaching, privacy, and personal well-being.
2. They’re full-time elementary school teachers
Since graduating from college, the twins have built stable lives as educators. Both Abby and Brittany attended Bethel University and now teach fifth grade at an elementary school in New Brighton, Minnesota. Despite sharing a body, they’ve adapted their dual minds and limbs into a seamless teaching partnership: Abby often handles math and science, while Brittany focuses on language arts and reading. For many fans who remember them on television, this grounded, steady career may be one of their proudest achievements, embracing normalcy while continuing to inspire tolerance, cooperation, and understanding among young children.
3. Abby’s 2021 marriage was shared publicly in 2024
In November 2021, Abby married Josh Bowling, a U.S. Army veteran and registered nurse. The wedding was kept private at the time. The news only became widely known in March 2024, when public records surfaced and media confirmed the union. This step marked a major milestone in her personal life, and while it drew renewed attention, the twins have continued to handle it on their own terms, maintaining relative privacy while gradually sharing glimpses of happiness.
4. Family dynamics now include a stepchild
Through her marriage to Josh Bowling, Abby became a stepmom to his daughter from a previous relationship, named Isabella. Though the girls share one body, this blended-family arrangement has become part of their reality. Brittany’s relationship status remains unknown publicly. This new role shows how Abby and Brittany, through mutual agreement and understanding, are embracing life’s changes beyond the spotlight, navigating relationships, parenting roles, and blended family life with care.
5. Sudden renewed media attention after baby-sighting photos in 2025
In August 2025, the twins were spotted carrying a newborn baby in Minnesota, seen placing a car seat into a car, their first public sighting of this kind since Abby’s marriage became public. The photos triggered speculation about whether they had welcomed a child of their own. The twins later shared some of the images on social media with a brief caption, “blessed,” which fueled further curiosity. As of now, they have not offered a public confirmation or explanation about the baby, choosing to keep details private while letting glimpses emerge naturally.
6. They share a home base in Minnesota
Abby and Brittany continue to live in Minnesota, the same state where they grew up, and have settled into a stable home life. Their decision to stay close to their roots helps them maintain a relatively low-key lifestyle, away from the constant glare of fame. They enjoy the familiarity and tranquility of their community while continuing their work as teachers.
7. Their life remains grounded, teaching, community, privacy
Even with renewed headlines and social-media glimpses, Abby and Brittany continue much of the life they built: they still teach fifth grade at a school in New Brighton, Minnesota. Their steady jobs, quiet home base, and decision to rarely engage with mainstream media show their commitment to a grounded, stable routine.
At the same time, they seem to value a balance: occasionally sharing moments on social media, but largely keeping intimate details, like the newborn sightings, personal. This blend of normal everyday life, resilience, and privacy paints a picture of two people who, despite their extraordinary situation, are simply living, working, and moving forward in a way that makes sense for them.
