Neil Patrick Harris is tied to his teenage son about acting in theatre!
Harris’ Show Art Premiere – his first Broadway show since appearing on Peter Pan in 2023 – the 52-year-old actor was opened to people about his family of four.
“Gideon is in a school play now. He’s flying over the cuckoo’s nest,” Harris says of his 14-year-old son Gideon, who has twin sister Harper. “So it’s fun to have him look at me. And Harper is also surprisingly talented and artistic.”
How I Meet Your Mother Alum is married to her husband, David Burtka. David Burtka saw Harris’ new show at the Music Box Theater in New York City with his twins at the preview show before attending the opening night on Tuesday, September 16th.

“Everyone has seen the show,” says Harris. “Harper came and saw it on Sunday, Gideon saw it himself like he was three days ago, and David saw it twice because they could come in the opening night and they love not saying, ‘I hope it’s good.’
In addition to being a proud father, Harris also praised her husband. “David works a lot and I’m very proud of him,” Harris says of Bartka, 50, an actor and chef and cooking author.
Meeting in 2004, Harris and Bartka announced their long-standing secret involvement in 2011, married in Italy in 2014, but on October 12, 2010, they welcomed the “happy and healthy” twins through agents.
