54. When Neil Patrick Harris Met David Burtka

54. When Neil Patrick Harris Met David Burtka

Happy October! To get into the fall spirit, we’re talking about a couple that LOVES Halloween more than anyone (so much so that it’s even gotten them into hot water.) It’s actors Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, who’ve been together for 19 years and share two adorable children. While many people know of their annual Halloween pictures, there’s a lot more to their love story than that. After all, their relationship was initially kept secret from the public.

Neil was one of the first openly gay actors in early 2000s Hollywood. Did he feel pressured to stay in the closet while starring in ‘How I Met Your Mother’? What motivated him to come out? And what’s Elton John’s husband doing here?

Plus, we go through all their over-the-top Halloween costumes through the years!
