Neil Patrick Harris has shared a new photo of his two children and everyone is saying the same thing.
The How I Met Your Mother star has enjoyed a successful acting career and he’s recognized as a trailblazer in LGBTQ+ rights, particularly for starting a family with his same-s** partner, David Burtka.
Harris and Burtka, who have been together since 2004, became parents in 2010 when they welcomed twins, son Gideon and daughter Harper.
Now, a recent picture of the siblings has fans making the same comment.
The couple married in 2014 and have always known they wanted children, with Burtka revealing in an essay for Out magazine that having kids was a key part of their bond: “If he hadn’t wanted kids, I don’t think we’d be together.”
Harris and Burtka’s children were carried by a surrogate, with the couple both contributing sp**m, meaning that either twin could be biologically linked to either parent.
As the Gone Girl actor explained: “We inserted one of my sp**m and one of David’s sp**m into two eggs with the hope that they would both take, just because we both wanted to be dads biologically. Both took, miraculously.”
Harris has also revealed he’s not concerned with discovering which twin is biologically his, emphasizing: “We are their parents and I love them implicitly.”
The twins’ parentage isn’t important to the star; he is simply proud to be their father, regardless of the biological details.
Despite Harris’ statement, fans have taken to social media and speculated. Many say Gideon looks like Harris, while others say Harper resembles Burtka.
But, as Harris said, the biological details don’t matter – what counts is their love and commitment to their children.
Still, a recent photo of Harris and Burtka with the twins has everyone offering a new opinion.
The actor took to Instagram over the Thanksgiving celebrations and expressed his gratitude for the blessings in his life, including his health, family, and support systems.
The snap was captioned: “Thanksgiving, 2024. So much to be thankful for in our lives: our health, our wisdom, our family…”
Many fans pointed out how much the couple’s children have grown, with one follower writing: “Wait…I thought they were babies?! Omg time is going by way too fast!!”
Another added: “Kids are so grown up!! Beautiful family!”
“Weren’t they just 7 and 10?” commented a third fan.
