PHOTOS: 22-year-old conjoined twin sisters speak on dating, lifestyle

22-year-old conjoined twin sisters, Carmen and Lupita Andrade, have spoken about how they coordinate everything from dating to deciding what to wear and where to be.

The conjoined twin sisters, who are attached at the body and share a reproductive system, said one of them would have died if they had separation surgery.

“If we had separation surgery, either one of us would die, both of us would die or we’d end up in the ICU and never get out,” Lupita told DailyMail on Wednesday, April 26.

Both of the conjoined twin sisters, who moved to the United States from Mexico when they were two and now live in Connecticut, have two arms but only one leg each, which means that Carmen – who has control of the right leg – has to do the driving.

“We go to movies and concerts (sharing one seat) and we travel on airplanes.

“Last year, we went to California and we’ve also flown to Texas,”  Carmen stated.

According to the twins, they have even found ways to ensure that they get much-needed alone time despite being stuck together.

“Sometimes at the end of the day, we’re just exhausted and we don’t want to talk.

“That’s when we’ll go on different devices and do our own thing. I have my laptop to do schoolwork, and Lupita will put on headphones and listen to music or go on her phone.

“We’ve been conjoined our whole life, so it’s not like we miss our independence. It’s all we’ve ever known, right?” she added.

Speaking on their romantic relationship, Carmen disclosed she started using a dating app, Hinge, a few years ago to look for love.

She revealed that she met a man, identified simply as Daniel, on the app in October 2020, and later fell in love with each other.

“I knew right off the bat that Daniel was different from the others, because he didn’t lead with a question about my condition.

“We’ve been together for two and a half years, and we’ve discussed getting engaged, but we want to live together first,” Carmen said.

She added that when she goes on dates with Daniel, she tries to make it fair for Lupita, who is asexual and forced to accompany her, by letting her choose where they eat or what activity they’ll do.
