Neil Patrick Harris Pens Sweet Tribute to 'Awesome' Husband David Burtka on His 46th Birthday

Neil Patrick Harris is celebrating David Burtka‘s birthday!

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.

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