More On Their Condition:
The twins suffer from dicephalic parapagus. Dicephalic parapagus is a rare form of conjoined twinning in which two individuals are joined at the head, sharing a single body below the neck. This condition is also known as “two-headed twins” and is a very unique and complex medical phenomenon. Each twin typically has their own brain and set of organs, but they share certain body parts and functions. The challenges and implications of dicephalic parapagus can vary depending on the specific anatomy and health of the twins involved.
It’s an extremely rare condition and only a few people with it survive until adulthood, and it is considered better not to try and separate the twins, per outlets. With knowing that, the ladies have been joined at the hip since birth and have been living their great and health life.
Regarding their relationship with Josh, the twins prefer to keep things private and have chosen not to engage in interviews about their personal lives. This decision reflects their desire to maintain a level of privacy amidst the public spotlight.
