Conjoined twin Carmen Andrade elopes with boyfriend of four years
She has revealed she married Daniel McCormack in front of their families on Lover's Leap Bridge in New Milford, Connecticut.
Carmen - who is a conjoined twin with sister Lupita Andrade - announced the news quietly at the end of a YouTube video titled Overdue Update!
'We should probably also address something else pretty big,' Carmen said in the clip. 'I did get married.'
The bride, 25, then flashed her wedding ring and laughed when Daniel came into view, proclaiming: 'I got an upgrade. I'm the husband now.'
Daniel, 28, explained that the wedding was a 'small get-together' with 'local family' only - rather than extending the invite wider.
'I don't like those weddings where they invite like the third cousin twice removed,' he said.
'I'm sorry, but great uncle Patrick, whom I haven't seen since I was three, you're not worth a f***ing seat at my table, I'm sorry.'
Carmen added: ''It was very pretty. It was in autumn, which made it even prettier.'
The content creator then shed some insight about her wedding dress - which she wore alongside her sister.
'I did not wear white. Don't regret it. I don't like white. Not my thing,' she explained.
The twin instead decided to wear a long, sparkling emerald gown on her special day.
Pictures flashed on the screen as they chatted about the wedding, showing the couple side by side at their outdoor venue.
Daniel was dressed in a classic tuxedo and a dark green bowtie to match his bride's shimmering gown.
Carmen also made sure to clarify who actually got married in October.
'Before anybody gets it twisted: We got married,' Carmen said, pointing to herself and Daniel.
'But we did not get married,' she added, then including her conjoined sister.
The pair met on dating app Hinge in 2020.
The newlyweds are now trying to win America's Favorite Couple contest, for which they are in ninth place.
Lupita identifies as asexual and said: 'I don't want to get married... because I don't want to.'
Before meeting Daniel, Carmen said dating was a 'learning process for everybody.'
The sisters previously claimed they have often been inappropriately 'fetishized' over the idea that someone is 'having sex with two people at once.'
The Mexico-born twins, who have lived in Connecticut since they were two years old, are attached along their chest walls down to their pelvis, where their spines meet.
They have two arms, but only a single leg each, with Carmen controlling the right leg and Lupita the left.
The sisters were only expected to survive for three days after they were born in 2001.
They were told their separation could result in their death or years of intensive care, so they chose to stay together and have expertly adapted to living life with one another.
Both women don't see themselves as disabled either - after admitting that it is only 'a disability if you make it a disability.'
When Lupita and Carmen were young, they spent years in physical therapy learning how to sit up and work together to use their legs, and when they were four years old, they took their first steps together.

EXCLUSIVE Julian McMahon's death certificate reveals ominous details about star who died after mysterious cross-country trip to Scientology HQ city
Tragic TV heartthrob Julian McMahon was given a quiet, lonely send-off after his shocking death in Florida following a secret battle with cancer, can exclusively reveal. The Nip/Tuck star did not have a funeral, we can disclose – instead he was quietly cremated without ceremony in the beach city of Clearwater where he had mysteriously turned up with wife Kelly. McMahon's body was handled by Eternal Cremation Services in nearby Dunedin after his July 2 death in a nearby hospital, according to his death certificate obtained by A spokesperson for Eternal said it did not handle a funeral for the 56-year-old son of former Australian prime minister Sir William McMahon. When asked if there was any funeral, anywhere, for him, the spokesman replied emphatically: 'There was not.' And he could not confirm if McMahon's third-wife Kelly, 47, attended the cremation at Palm State Crematory. Tragic TV heartthrob Julian McMahon was given an apparently lonely send-off following his shock death in Florida after a secret cancer battle, can exclusively reveal The absence of a formal send-off for the beloved actor - known to millions as Dr. Christian Troy on Nip/Tuck and Cole Turner on Charmed - is only fueling speculation about the mysterious final months of his life His apparent move from California to Clearwater has already sparked frenzied online chatter because the Church of Scientology has its global headquarters there. The controversial and secretive religion has a host of celebrity followers, most famously Hollywood's Tom Cruise and John Travolta, and attracts showbiz types. Some 4,000 members live in Clearwater and its giant HQ, called Flag, dominates the downtown area. McMahon's successful 36-year career in his native country and in the United States from the early 1990s makes the lack of entertainment industry pals marking their respects even more puzzling. And while his father Sir William and mother Sonia have long passed away, his sisters Melinda, 58, and Debbie, 52, were reported to be devastated by his death at their homes in Australia. The actor died from lung metastasis – where cancer that started elsewhere in the body spreads to that organ – according to the Pinellas County cremation approval report obtained by It added this was a consequence of head and neck metastatic cancer. However, it did not reveal the type of cancer McMahon was originally battling. McMahon died as an inpatient at the Morton Plant Hospital, according to his death certificate. There will be no autopsy report, the medical examiner's office told us. Adding to the Clearwater connection mystery, the 'residence' address on the death is listed as a place in Ventura Boulevard, Encino, California. However, this is a building housing a showbiz accountancy firm and two other businesses. His occupation was given as 'producer/entertainment' and it revealed he had 'some college credit, but no degree'. The actor, previously wed to Australian singer Dannii Minogue and Baywatch star Brooke Burns, is not known to have had any connection with Clearwater before his death was revealed. He and former model Kelly previously had a stunning three-bedroom, four-bathroom pool home directly under the Hollywood sign which sold for $2.16million in 2015 and is now worth an estimated $3.4million. They're last known place in California is an equally beautiful spread in Somis, California, which the couple sold in August 2023 for $2.825million, according to records. The three-bedroom hacienda-style pool home sits on 15.5 acres in the heart of Ventura County's avocado region. The sales literature at the time said there would be farming income from 4.5 acres of Haas avocados and 10 acres of lemons. And possibly in a hint of the couple wanting a completely new lifestyle, it was advertised as being available furnished. Despite their 'out of the blue' appearance in Florida, there do not appear to be any property records linking them to the Clearwater area. When the city's connection to his death was revealed, the internet rumor mill went into overdrive. 'I live in Clearwater… close to a house John Travolta owner, because we're about a mile from the Scientology center in downtown Clearwater,' one local wrote on Instagram. 'I was wondering if Julian McMahon was a Scientologist since (Kelly's statement) said he died in Clearwater, because why else would he live the last few months of his life there? The only celebrities that do are usually Scientologists. Surprised, that's for certain!' Another person posed the question on X: 'Why was Julian McMahon in Clearwater when he died? Like, that's Scientology city.' Scientologists believe humans are 'immortal spiritual beings' called Thetans, who have many lives and possess unlimited potential through reincarnation. Scientologists are commonly cremated. While McMahon bravely continued his acting career, Kelly has been running a website called Super Spiritual Girl, describing herself as a 'spiritual concierge' on her Instagram. Her site says: 'We believe in spreading light and the power of collective consciousness. We welcome all souls on a path to healing, wellness and truth. Kindness, authenticity, integrity and honesty are our core values.' As creator and founder, she is described as having practiced and trained 'a wide range of spiritual modalities for the last 15 years' and is a 'shamanic healer'. Despite the fevered theories, Scientology expert and writer Tony Ortega damped down the speculation about the TV star. He told 'I haven't seen any evidence that McMahon was a Scientologist. 'Scientology dominates a small downtown part of Clearwater. But most people there don't do near it. Many people are drawn there to the beach, which has nothing to do with Scientology.' The religion and affiliated companies owns roughly 185 properties in the downtown area, which frequently has an eerie sense of quiet. Church figurehead and Hollywood megastar Cruise, 63, has a penthouse apartment at the Flag building where he reportedly has a private elevator that whisks him from parking lot to his living area. Travolta's wife Kelly Preston died after a breast cancer battle in 2020. Two years later Cheers actress and Scientologist Kirstie Alley died from colon cancer at the Clearwater mansion she bought from the late Lisa Marie Presley – who was also a follower of the religion. News of McMahon's death stunned his fans who had no idea he was secretly battling cancer. Kelly, who wed the star in at a Lake Tahoe ceremony in 2014, revealed in a statement: 'With an open heart, I wish to share to the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer. 'Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy to as many lives as possible. 'We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in live. We are grateful for the memories.' There were hindsight hints of the tragedy to come when McMahon was last seen publicly in March at the SXSW premiere of his psychological thriller movie The Surfer alongside co star Nicolas Cage in Texas. Although no one realized he was ill, the star appeared thinner and more fragile, dressed in a blue blazer that hung loosely.

BREAKING NEWS Caitlyn Jenner's pal Sophia Hutchins cause of death revealed after horrific accident in Malibu
Caitlyn Jenner 's late friend Sophia Hutchins died at the age of 29 in a horror ATV accident in Malibu. Hutchins' life was cut short on July 2 after she plunged 350 feet down a cliff on the vehicle after she was believed to have struck a car bumper. On Wednesday her cause of death was shared. A death certificate from the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health, which was obtained by People, shows Hutchins died from 'multiple blunt force injuries.' The case remains open, but her manner of death has been 'ruled an accident.' The reality TV star will be laid to rest at the Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Los Angeles on July 24. Hutchins was featured heavily in the reality series, I Am Cait. The series ran for just two seasons but it gave glimpses into Jenner and Hutchins' unorthodox life together. Later Sophia became the CEO and director of the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation. Caitlyn Jenner 's late friend Sophia Hutchins died at the age of 29 in a horror ATV accident in Malibu. Hutchins was killed on July 2 after she plunged 350 feet down a cliff on the vehicle after she was believed to have struck a car bumper In 2017, Hutchins moved into Jenner's home and began working as the star's manager in 2015. Before that Kris Jenner managed Caitlyn. sources revealed that after striking the car's bumper, the impact forced the ATV and Hutchins ended up 'plummeting 350ft down into a ravine.' First responders pronounced Hutchins dead at the scene. Investigators told that she was believed to have been speeding in the 2013 Polaris ATV, and was 'side by side' a Mazda when she rear-ended the car. The impact caused the ATV to veer off the cliff off the winding mountainous road in Malibu. The two individuals in the car struck by Hutchins and the ATV were not injured. Hutchins was in Jenner's inner circle for over a decade after she came out as a transgender woman in 2015. The case remains open, but her manner of death has been ruled an accident; seen in 2019 Hutchins met Caitlyn that year and appeared in multiple episodes of the television documentary series I Am Cait, a spin-off of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Despite living under one roof, Hutchins previously told The New York Times that they 'were never romantically involved', insisting it was all about work and friendship. 'Caitlyn is a parent to me. I have said that a million times. It is a parental, familial relationship,' Sophia said. In 2020, Sophia posed for an online ad campaign for Kim Kardashian's highly successful clothing line SKIMS. Sophia was particularly close to Kris Jenner, speaking to her regularly, and Hutchins also had a good relationship with Jenner's daughters Kendall, 29, and Kylie, 27. The siblings once gave Sophia a stunning heart-shaped diamond necklace for Christmas. 'I'm on good terms with all the family, but I'm closest with Kris, Kim, Kylie and Kendall', Sophia said. The tragedy comes nine years after Jenner was involved in a fatal car crash while driving on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. The collision involved four cars and resulted in the death of Kim Howe, 70. Jenner was not charged in the crash, but an investigation by the LA County Sheriff's Office determined that Caitlyn was driving too fast. That opened her up to blame in civil lawsuits, which was later settled out of court. Despite living under one roof, Hutchins previously told The New York Times that they 'were never romantically involved' with each other — a sentiment that pair have repeated over the years. 'I don't feel a need to address my sex life, quite frankly, unless I want to,' Sophia sternly told the outlet at the time.
