Neil Patrick Harris and his boyfriend are going to be fathers this Fall. The actor formerly known as Doogie Houser and his man of a few years, David Burtka, have hired a surrogate to have twin babies this October. Wow – can you imagine being Neil Patrick Harris‘s surrogate? I wonder what that screening process was like.

more Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka after the hop…

Anyway, a source close to the couple says they’ve been working on this for awhile.

“The happy couple have put baby shower plans in motion, as if Harris’ chance of winning three Emmys this month wasn’t already enough to celebrate! Burtka, a chef and actor who has guest-starred on How I Met Your Mother, was just seen with his multitalented beau last weekend after Harris directed a production of Rent at the Hollywood Bowl. Star reported last year that Burtka and Harris had visited a surrogacy agency in L.A. to get the ball rolling on expanding their family. They’ve been together for roughly six years.”

Congrats! Wonder how much this surrogate will earn carrying the twin babies and whose sperm they used. So many questions!
