Most recently, Josh has faced a paternity lawsuit from his ex-wife, Annica Bowling, documents obtained by PEOPLE show. On Oct. 2, 2023, Annica filed the suit against both Josh and an individual named Gavin Vatnsdal, per Minnesota court records.
The suit may focus on the paternity of Annica's youngest daughter, who was born after she and Josh split. However, the child has not been named because she is a minor. A Genetic test report, which was added to the file on March 7, has also not been made publicly available.
Annica and Josh wed in 2010 and separated in 2019. A motion hearing for the paternity suit is currently scheduled for April 19.
In late March, the twins seemingly posted a response to the online attention they received, calling out "haters," after news of the wedding went public.
“The internet is extra LOUD today,” Abby and Brittany wrote alongside one clip showing a series of photos of historical sculptures of conjoined twins as the song “Real Love Baby” by Father John Misty played over the top.
Their caption continued, “We have always been around ❤️#abbyandbrittanyhensel #happy #love #lovestory #marriage.”
