Conjoined twins Carmen and Lupita Andrade are sharing how they set boundaries within Carmen’s marriage to Daniel McCormack, whom she married in October 2024.

Carmen and Daniel, who met on the dating app Hinge in 2020, say their approach is rooted in constant communication. “I don’t know how else to put it,” Carmen told People , adding “we just respect that” whenever Lupita isn’t comfortable with something, whether it’s cuddling or another intimate moment.

Lupita, for her part, is unfazed: “I have headphones and a phone. I don’t care.”

Carmen also noted she isn’t someone who needs constant affection, saying, “there’s a certain societal expectation that there needs to be affection the entire time within a relationship. All we do is joke around a lot of the time.”
