NEIL PATRICK HARRIS CAN’T WAIT TO GET HOME TO HIS TWINS

There was a time when “How I Met Your Mother” star Neil Patrick Harris wouldn’t think of missing a party, but fatherhood changes everything. Neil and his partner David Burtka welcomed surrogate twins – Gideon and Harper – a year and a half ago, and his priorities have obviously shifted. (The kids are just starting to form words.) Neil had a cameo in the American Reunion movie so he was at the premier and our nosey spy noticed him texting David before the film started. As soon as the film ended Neil texted David again saying “I’ll skip the after-party – be home soon!” like a dutiful and domesticated dad! (Photo above from Halloween)

ONE OF NEIL PATRICK HARRIS’ TWINS WILL BE A LITTLE DOOGIE

It’s a tribute to modern science that two gay men can hire one surrogate to give birth to fraternal twins – one fathered by each man! We were astonished to hear that the “How I Met Your Mother” star Neil Patrick Harris ,37, and his partner David Burtka’s surrogate mother gave birth on October 12 to a boy named Gideon and a girl named Harper. Each man donated sperm that fertilized an egg and both fertile eggs were implanted in their hired surrogate and thrived. No doubt they are watching the babies grow and excitedly trying to figure out who is responsible for who.
