Neil Patrick Harris got married to long term partner David Burtka a few weeks ago and has now shared why they decided to finally make it official.
The former How I Met Your Mother actor appeared on The View and explained that they took the next step in their relationship because of their children.
We’ve been together over 10 years and I think when our kids got to the age they were having reasonable conversations, when they are asking lots of why questions, to have a clear-cut explanation of who their daddy is, I think is great. He’s my husband and it was easier than partner or boyfriend or something like that.
Neil added that he was pretty emotional during the ceremony and that the wedding was as much about their twins as it was about their love.
It was so crazy, because when you watch other people say their vows and get all chocked up, you say ‘Come on! Pull it together man. Then when you are standing there and it’s you and you have this piece of paper in your hand and it’s shaking … you can’t help but just get super-duper chocked up.
