Adam Shankman of "So You Think You Can Dance," quickly congratulated the couple on the news via Twitter, writing, "guess what babies are gonna learn how to dance and direct from their uncle Adam?"

I still can't imagine Neil Patrick Harris being gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that, he just plays such the playboy on "How I Met Your Mother" that I can't see him any other way.

Congrats to Neil and his partner

Bully for them. But if he wants privacy- why is he tweeting about it? They could have kept it secret until the day they brought the babies home if they wanted to.

Wow, David has twins from a previous relationship? Someone's got good swimmers!!

How pregnant is he?

[Jazbabee]

How pregnant is he?

I wondered the same thing also. Since when does Neil or his partner have a uterus ?? Talk about sloppy headlines & writing !!

Great news!!!

My niece in law (she's married to my nephew) was a surrogate for a gay couple from Florida and gave birth last November. She was pregnant with twins as well, but sadly, one died while in the womb. Last I heard, they wanted her to carry another baby for them. They're a wonderful, loving couple and spoiled my niece rotten.

Its kind of cool that they both got one in there.



After almost seven years together, Harris, 37, and Burtka, 35, began the surrogacy process and were "thrilled" to discover they were having fraternal twins.
"We inserted two eggs, one with my sperm, one with David's sperm and they both took," says Harris. Holding their children in the delivery room shortly after their birth was "just absolute joy," says Burtka. "We had two babies that we made. With help."

Didn't realise he was gay

That's cool they both contributed. I don't know anything about the other dude, but NPH always seemed like a really nice, level headed guy. They should be lucky babies.

I think he looks fantabulous

[Katrinawitch]

I squee'd with delight when I saw that he'd be in "Hedwig"! I'd love to see him in that. I have such a huge crush on him.

[Seagorath]

Good parents also.

He's one of my favorite actors. He's awesome!

Is NPH taking over for David Letterman?
