Oh wow, this is a shocker.

Thomas Beatie, or more famously known as "The Pregnant Man," has split from his wife Nancy of nine years.

He confirmed the sad news on The Doctors, saying:

"Like all marriages, we have our ups and downs, and we’re going through a rough patch right now. At the moment, we’re separated."

…Which comes as a double shocker considering he just completed undergoing his final female-to-male gender reassignment surgery.

That's not an easy thing to go through alone.

The couple have two children together and two children from Nancy's previous marriage.

Gut-wrenching.

We wish them the best.

Such wonderful news.

10-month-old conjoined twins Maria Paz and Maria Jose are recovering in an intensive care unit after doctors successful separated them during an operation.

Parents Jessica Navarrete and Roberto Parades were anxiously waiting for the results at Luis Calvo Mackenna Hospital in Santiago, Cile, while doctors separated the twins at the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis.

This was their seventh operation!

Their doctor described it as the moment "the girls finished the process of being born," adding:

"Before, they had two souls and one body.

"We're very happy because we think they've had the best evolution we could have hoped for. The next 48 hours will be the most critical in terms of the … risk they face of dying."

We know the girls can pull through. At less than a year old, they're already such strong fighters. Our prayers are with them and their parents.

Wonderful news.

Two-year-old conjoined twin girls Angelica and Angelina Sabuco were successfully separated at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford.

The two girls shared a liver, diaphragm, and sternum, but thankfully, had two separate hearts, which made the surgery easier for doctors.

Dr. Gary Hartman said:

"We are very pleased. It could not have gone better."

Their chests and abdominal walls had to be reconstructed, which went smoother than expected.

The girls are said to be doing well and even slept in two separate beds, the first time in their lives, the night after the surgery.

Such wonderful news. We are so happy that the surgery was a success and the girls are doing so well. They seem to have a wonderful spirit.

Watch above to see their life at home before the surgery.

This is such wonderful news.

Conjoined twins Joshua and Jacob Spates, who were attached at the base of their spines, have been separated after a successful operation that took over 13 hours to complete.

The boys, who had never been able to see each other, finally got a chance to say hi to each other face-to-face.

Wow. Tears swelling up…

The twins aren't out of the woods yet, but with a lot of hope and prayer, they will soon be out of the hospital and will begin their lives as separate twins.
