Josh Bowling denies fathering his ex-wife, Annica’s second baby!
It is an unusual relationship and marriage. Abby Hensel, one of the famous two-headed conjoined twins married army veteran, Josh Bowling on 13 November 2021. And now, Josh has put in legal papers to assert that he is not the father of his ex-wife, Annica Bowling’s youngest daughter who was born in late 2020 during their estrangement period.
Josh Bowling and his past relationships
American army veteran, Josh Bowling is married to one of the dicephalus conjoined twins, Abby Hensel. The other twins’ name is Brittany Hensel. Though the marriage took place on 13 November 2021, the news surfaced only last month when their marriage certificate leaked online.
As regards Josh’s past personal life, it is known that he was in a marital relationship with Annica Bowling from 2010 to April 2019. They have a daughter called Isabella, 8.
The couple’s divorce was settled on 23 April 2020. Annica admitted that she had sexual intercourse with another man, Gavin Lee Vatnsdal on 29 November 2019. At that time, she was still legally married to Josh. And this copulation gave rise to the birth of Annica’s second child, a daughter, Amelia in late 2020.
Annica’s lawsuit against Gavin
In October 2023, Annica has put in legal papers for paternity suit and child support. Gavin is the co-respondent in the case and Josh’s name is also in it. The mother has stated that after a DNA test, Gavin is the presumed father of the newborn.
Further, Annica has said that Josh is not the child’s father. But Gavin is the father of the child. Hence, Gavin has to pay her child support for the child’s upbringing.
On the other hand, Gavin too has not denied that he is the father of the child. He has asked for joint custody of the baby. Furthermore, Gavin is ready to shell out money as child support payment for the rearing of his baby.
Josh denies being the baby’s father
Since his name was in the paternity lawsuit, Josh has also put in his papers in response to the lawsuit. He has reiterated what Annica has already said.
Josh said that he did not have sex with his estranged wife six weeks before or six weeks after the presumed date of conception of the baby. He added that for all practical purposes, Gavin is the child’s father. Hence, Gavin will pay child support. And Josh refused to pay child support allowance to Annica. He wants the court to state firmly that he is not the father of the child and hence not liable to pay child support.
After news of the marriage of Abby with Josh surfaced a month back, the trio were mocked over it. Fans and readers were left confused and wanted to know the role of Brittany in this relationship. The sisters responded to the hate spilled on the internet against them by saying this on their TikTok account:
“This is a message to all the haters out here. If you don’t like what I do but watch everything I’m doing, you’re still a fan.”
Also, Josh stated that they are not going to give any interview on this matter.
