Neil Patrick Harris, known for How I Met Your Mother and Gone Girl, has explained why he has no interest in knowing which of his twins is biologically his.
Harris and his husband, David Burtka, welcomed twins Gideon and Harper via surrogate in 2010. Both men contributed sperm, meaning either twin could be biologically his. However, Harris insists it doesn’t matter.
“We are their parents, and I love them implicitly,” he stated. “We inserted one of my sperm and one of David’s into two eggs, hoping both would take. Miraculously, they did.”
Harris and Burtka, who married in 2014, had discussed parenthood from their first date. “If he hadn’t wanted kids, I don’t think we’d be together,” Burtka once shared.
Fans have speculated about the twins’ parentage, with many believing Harper resembles Burtka while Gideon looks like Harris. Still, Harris remains uninterested in knowing.
Now teenagers, the twins are described as “good kids.” Harris jokes, “We keep being told they’ll hate us at some point. That hasn’t happened yet. So far, so good!”
