  2. Good for them. I hope they can lead the most normal life possible for them, including their current and future children.

  3. The whole dynamic is crazy and impossible to even imagine.

  6. Basically They’re Both Married to One Man … but that OK and I just hope they’re Happy! 😊

  7. I have so many questions, but I’m afraid of getting banned so I won’t ask any of them.

  8. When asked for comment, they said “lol, we’ll never tell you anything you want to know, tee hee”

  9. I’m fully aware that their intimate life and relationships are none of my (or any of our) business, but from a purely medical point of curiosity, if the married couple had a natural birth (vs an adoption), I’m wondering how the pain would be managed for two independent women experiencing it. I’ve had epidurals in my spine due to issues with nerve pain, although I haven’t had a child myself so I’m not super familiar with the typical epidural process for a standard, run-of-the-mill birth with no significant complications. This would have been a novel issue for the medical team to manage.

    My nephew is in a same sex marriage and has two beautiful daughters with his husband. They used IVF and his husband’s sister (who already had two sons of her own) offered to be their surrogate using her own eggs, so the daughters have 50% of my nephew’s DNA, 25% of their other Dad’s and 25% of their biological mom’s… I think (?). I’m just basing the 25% split on the fact that when I met my other infant nephew for the first time, my brother told me, “He has 25% of your genes” which blew my mind, and I just accepted as fact.

    I guess I’m bringing this up to make the point that there are numerous ways to create a family and as long as they feel fulfilled and everyone is happy with the arrangement, I’m very happy for all of them.

  10. Love is in the mind. If one loves him and the other is friend than thats it.They should be left alone.

  11. Probably did IVF. While they may be able to carry a pregnancy, It would be high risk.

  12. So the other one just closes her eyes and puts on earbuds while her sister is getting pounded?

  13. I love this for them and their family. I can’t help but think how pissed I would be as Brittany if Abby got pregnant but I had to feel childbirth because my brain was connected to those nerves! Good fuh them! Lucky for the baby to have an auntie so close by!

  14. Do they share a reproductive system? I wonder if they would both feel labour pains

  15. God I wish this was my business so bad. I have so many questions I want to ask them

  17. I love this for them. This is the hand they were dealt and they are living. So inspiring!!!

  18. Good for them. The autobiography that will come out many years from now will be a bestseller.

  19. I know a common response to wondering about how all this works logistically is “mind your own business”, but it’s impossible not to think about it. That whole situation is a living thought experiment. There is just no way people are not going to wonder how it all could work out assuming that the twins would want to keep to normal dating dynamics. It’s a situation that forces compromise or work-arounds in the extreme.

  20. I attended a wedding that they were at once. They are super nice people.

  21. I remember the conjoined twins, Lori and George Schappell (George/Reba identified male later in life), who died at age 62 last year. They were amazing. Intelligent, fun, confident, and determined to live as separate lives as possible. Highly recommend this documentary if you want to learn more how they [lived. ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmxUXZIb1RM) All my respect to them.

    Addressing intimacy and the potential of one of Lori getting married and having kids, (then) Reba answered it this way:

    “Well, he would be like a brother-in-law to me and that’s it. They can do whatever they do and I will act like I am not even there. I will block it out.”

    Lori, smiling and laughing, then offered that she wasn’t a virgin.

  22. Nah fam I’m sorry but that line of genetics should not be going forward…

  23. I hate to ask but like would the baby be her niece and child? I’m so confused

  24. Think of their memoir, should they themselves decide to ever pen one. Would it be 2 books. Would it be one book with alternating chapters. Either way, think of the things they’d have to say that no one’s ever heard before.

  26. Good for them. 

    I feel bad for all the invasive questions and vouyeristic shit they have to deal with. Wishing them the best. 

  28. The spice girls may have said it best. “If you wanna be my boyfriend, you gotta get with my friends”

  29. It is very clear they don’t want any spotlight, yet TMZ won’t let them be. Their lives are already pretty wild being one of only a handful of conjoined twins in the world. This kind of shit would make me fearful to even go anywhere in public.

    One thing that I think is more messed up than anything is the fact that they both paid for college but when they took a job they only get paid one salary. It makes me irrationally mad that it has worked out that way for them.

  30. I see them shopping at the target in Shoreview all the time

  31. I have so many questions, but it’s not my business.

    I hope everyone is happy and healthy.

  32. Think about what would happen if the guy divorces one and marries the other…

  34. Everyone’s got questions, but those questions are almost all of the form “how would *I* handle this? Is this an answer *I* would be OK with?” And those questions just don’t apply. None of us who aren’t conjoined can’t have anything but a vague idea what it’s like to try to cope with it in every aspect of existence. Clearly extreme compromises and cooperation are a hard requirement. But they also have abilities the rest of us don’t, each controls and arm and a leg but they can ride a bike or drive a car for instance.

    I think it makes you really consider that our sense of “normal” is situational even for “normal” people.

  35. I’d like to congratulate them, and the father, Lawrence from Office Space.

  36. I only have fucked up questions so I’m glad I don’t know either of them personally

  37. pls can y’all just leave these people alone. it is none of your business. and it’s just so disgusting. let them live their lives in peace this is just so weird

  38. Why are these women’s lives considered “entertainment?” Leave them alone.

  39. Not to seem like an asshole but being a conjoined twin genuinely just seems like a miserable experience to me

  40. They are both with him. If they want to be monogamous they would have to. Society can’t rap its head legally or otherwise about this.

    If polygamy was legal it would be to both of them and him.

    Considering they share the same DNA 🧬 and have the same physical and social experiences it would not be weird for both of them to have the same taste in men.

    They share the same hormones and pretty much everything but their 🧠. They are going to be more alike than any two other people in the world.

    The other sisters story is just that. It wouldn’t work otherwise. They have to say this stuff so society leaves them alone.

    What do you think would happen if say the truth about their sex life really came out? It would break the brains of the usual suspects and ruin their lives.

    He fucks both, they enjoy it.

    As it should be. There is no other choice for them.

  41. So since they have two spines, do they both get the epidural?
