Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka's Twins Are Born

By Zach Dionne Posted Oct 15th 2010 04:56PM

Neil Patrick Harris and longtime partner David Burtka's twins from a surrogate mother were born Tuesday, Oct. 12, NPH reported via Twitter.

"Babies!!" Harris, 37, wrote. The twins are named Gideon Scott and Harper Grace. "All of us are happy, healthy, tired, and a little pukey."

Harris tweeted in August that he and Burtka, his 35-year-old man of six years, would have children: "So, get this: David and I are expecting twins this fall. We're super excited/nervous/thrilled. Hoping the press can respect our privacy..." he tweeted.

"For over two decades, Americans have followed Neil Patrick Harris' journey from child star to popular leading man. Now, many will look on as he and his partner build a family together," Jarrett Barrios, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance of Defamation (GLAAD) told PopEater in August. "As more and more loving and committed gay and lesbian couples start families together, it is important to see stories like Neil's that reflect what most fair-minded Americans already know: gay people and our families are no different than them. For many, Neil is the first gay person they've seen come out, fall in love and become a dad, and his story is helping Americans understand that gay people deserve the same opportunity to take care of our families and loved ones."

Congrats to the happy parents!!
To all of the people who have a problem with this...well you have the legal right to feel the way you feel, BUT the way I feel about this is I am sure that these two lucky babies will be brought up in a loving and caring home and it WILL be grounded. As long as the children have LOVING parents that is ALL that matters. Whether it's 2 women, 2 men or a man and woman, what matters is the love and caring will be there for those children!!!
Neil and David..Congrats to you both!!!

I agree with this , So does My boyfriend .he is almost 11year older than me .i met him via age'lessmate.c'om a nice place for seeking age le ss love.which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive young girls and treat you like a king. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends..

Well lets see Zarathustrasmile.... the twins could be yours. I could see you now in line for foodstamps, flipping burgers, on the side of the road with your broke down hoopty and thumbing with a empty gas can....Naw let the two dudes keep them they are much better off.

By Sue

Such unnecessary hate! Why do you care, they maybe great loving parents.

By nk

You know what....Zarathustrasmile.....

IT IS EXTREMEMLY SELFISH TO RAISE THESE CHILDREN WITHOUT THEIR BIOLOGICAL MOTHER! GAYS DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT CHILDREN; UNLESS IT FURTHERS THEIR CAUSE. OVER 90% OF CHILDREN ARE STRAIGHT AND TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE IS A LEARNED BEHAVIOR FOR THEM. GAY MARRIAGE CONFUSES CHILDREN AND FURTHER ERODE'S TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE. ANYONE WHO REALLY LOVES CHILDREN WOULD UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT HAVE THEIR BIOLOGICAL FATHER AND MOTHER RAISE THEM.

Congrats! Hope they are both healthy and good sleepers! Not digging the name Gideon, but not my choice after all. Enjoy your little bundles!

By Sally

I'm not crazy about either name - just not my style - but considering the disastrous names celebs (and even non celebs) usually give their kids nowadays, these are nothing but sheer brilliance. And they gave the kids normal, nice middle names they can use if they decide they don't care much for Gideon and Harper.

Nice to see someone - anyone, it seems - not make naming their kids a 'look at me, ain't I brilliant?' moment.

Oh yeah; enjoy your little bundles; and the twins too!!!!

I liked the names. I thought the boy's name was strong and that they chose the girl's name from "To Kill A Mockingbird" fame. But to each his own. Of course, it could be names from their ancestors that they wanted to be part of the children's lives.

By Su

I'm glad that the mom decided to have the children.
But it's still a sin when man & man are joined together.

how stupid you are, chérie ~ love is love, as long as you don't do it with a pig. By the way, DO you have a lover?
