It comes after the news broke that Bowling was served with a paternity suit by his ex-wife Annica Bowling, whom he was married to for 9 years and separated from in 2019.

His former partner Annica filed the paternity suit two years after he wed Abby. The New York Post speculates that it could involve her third child, born in 2020, however, the documents are unclear.

On 7 March 2024, a “genetic test report” was added to the court file and remains its most recent development.

Abby and Brittany were born in 1990 and are what is known as dicephalic parapagus twins, meaning they are joined side by side and have their own heads.

They also have two hearts and two sets of lungs, but share everything else. They are in control of each side of their body and have been able to learn to drive and both get university degrees.
