On Saturday (May 20), the 47-year-old How I Met Your Mother actor took to Instagram to pen a sweet tribute to his “awesome” husband on his 46th birthday.

“David’s leaping into Year 46 like..” Neil started while sharing a shirtless photo of David jumping on the beach.

“I’m simply amazed by this awesome man. After spinal surgery in February, he’s in the best shape of his life,” Neil wrote. “After five years of sobriety, he’s in the best place in his life. After acting, cooking, writing, and parenting, his new producing chapter is about to begin.”

“David is the glue that holds our family together, the constant provider of meals and compassion, and the funniest, most loving man I know,” Neil continued. “Thank you for being such a blazing light, @dbelicious. You shine so bright, it’s impossible to look away. I can’t wait to share this next year with you – I suspect it’ll be your best one yet. #birthdayburtka #grateful”

Neil and David have been together since 2004. They welcomed twins Gideon and Harper, 10, in 2010. The couple tied the knot in 2014.

The 47-year-old actor appeared on Ellen on Thursday (February 18) where he revealed that his 10-year-old twins, Gideon and Harper, have returned to in-person school amid the pandemic.

“Ellen, I’m free!” Neil joked to Ellen, revealing that his twins with David Burtka are back in school for the first time since March of last year.

“They’re in school all of a sudden. We’ve been in remote school since March and then the school [recently] opened up,” Neil explained. “As of last week, they were able to be [back] — with all the protocols, the masks, the six feet apart, getting tested all the time — but they’re in actual school.”

While Neil might be happy to have some quiet time now, he did admit that he misses “them so much.”

If you missed it, David recently underwent a very serious surgery.

Neil Patrick Harris took to Instagram on Wednesday (February 3) to reveal that the 45-year-old actor and chef is recovering after having spinal surgery.

“David is recovering from spinal surgery. It was fairly intensive, took over seven hours, but he’s in good spirits and doing well,” the 47-year-old actor wrote. “It’s one of the scarier, more hopeless feelings – hoping for the best, trying not to fear the worst, waiting a call with news. Thankfully, all went according to plan. Whew..! Two thumbs up. I love you, @dbelicious. Your strength inspires me. And thanks to NY-Presbyterian Hospital for, well, everything. ❤️❤️🙏🏼 @nyphospital”

Neil then shared a video of David all hyped up on pain medication after the surgery.

“A few hours after surgery. Not sure David will remember saying any of this… but damn, it makes me laugh,” Neil wrote. “I appreciate his positive energy so so much. @dbelicious @nyphospital #morphine.”

We’re glad to hear David is doing ok after surgery!

Drew Barrymore is opening up about the life-changing advice that she received from Neil Patrick Harris‘ husband David Burtka.

Neil was a guest on The Drew Barrymore Show on Wednesday (December 9) and David popped in for a few minutes of the virtual interview.

Drew revealed that she was once on a flight with David when her kids were acting out. He gave her some advice that changed her life forever.

“David, I really just have to say thank you again because you are so near and dear to my heart. I had a really bad flight with my kids, they were both acting out, you know 2-years-old and 3-years-old, and you are always that person on the plane just so horrified you are the one ruining everyone else’s flight,” Drew said. “And you told me, you were like, ‘I’ve been through it too, this is normal, you are doing a good job. It’s okay, try to take the stress out of your body. People aren’t as upset as you probably are projecting that they are.’”

Drew continued, “And you changed my life that day because I flew with my children everywhere all the time, I took them all over the place. And you changed flying for me because I was always so stressed and embarrassed. So thank you.”

David replied, “I’m so happy because we’ve all been there. We’ve had that crying child and you think you’re so horrified that you have this crying child that everybody is looking at you. I’m so glad you got through it. You did it with ease.”

“You contributed to one parent that was really freaking out and it’s just hard to be a parent with two kids and you just want to make it okay for everyone else and weirdly not many people are making it okay for you in that moment and that’s what you did and I will never forget it for the rest of my life, and in fact I will always pay it forward,” Drew said in response.

Neil Patrick Harris is the latest celebrity to reveal that he and his family overcame coronavirus earlier in the year.

The -year-old actor shared that husband David Burtka and their twin children, Harper and Gideon, 9, were all affected by the pandemic while speaking with the Today show.

“It happened very early [in the pandemic], like late March, early April,” he said. “We were doing our best before, and I thought I had the flu, and I didn’t want to be paranoid about it. And then I lost my sense of taste and smell, which was a big indicator, so we holed up.”

Neil, David, Harper and Gideon have all since recovered from the infection.

He shared that all four of them now “have antibodies and are feeling good.”

“We want to make sure everyone’s doing their best to slow this down every way possible, for sure,” Neil added.
