Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka‘s twins, Harper and Gideon, are 14 years old, and truly, they’re growing up so fast!
On Oct 12, Harris shared a rare, touching birthday tribute to his twins, Harper and Gideon. He shared the sweet photo with the caption starting, “Harper and Gideon turn 14 today. I have never been more proud of anything in my entire life, and I suspect I never will. My husband David and I marvel at their maturity, are wowed by their warmth, chuffed by their charm. We love them both unconditionally, and their hugs fill us with life.”
He added, “We don’t say any of this to them, obvs, or they’d recoil or leverage it to their advantage. But they’re not on Insta, so I’m free to speak honestly. They’ll never find out. Happy Birthday, Harper and Gideon. You’re both amazeballs.”
In the photo, we see Harper and Gideon sitting on a blueish couch set, both of them holding one of their dogs. They look so grown up, both rocking blonde hair and casual looks; and it’s making us wonder, “Where has the time gone?!” And we’re not the only ones thinking that as well, because so many fans are commenting the same thing under the post.
No, seriously, fans commented things like “Wait how did this happen I thought they were little did I miss something what happened,” and “Omg! They’re little adults! It seems like yesterday they were toddlers… and they’re not even my kids 😆.”
First off, happy belated birthday to Harper and Gideon, and secondly, this post made us feel so old. But that’s okay, because this was just so darn sweet!
For those who don’t know, Harris and Burtka have been together since April 2004, later marrying in Sept 2014 after being engaged since 2006. In October 2010, they welcomed twins named Gideon and Harper via surrogacy.
In a previous, super-rare interview with YahooLife in 2021, Harris talked about his approach to parenting. “I kind of approach parenting as a ‘let’s see how it goes’ attitude,” he said. “I think rigidity gets us into more trouble than being flexible. We have our rules and we have our edicts and boundaries, but if you’re super hardcore about things, it turns into more conflict than is necessary.”
