Looking back on the past, and hopefully into the future, Neil Patrick Harris, celebrated star of stage and screen, recently shared a sentimental post on his Instagram account. Not just another celebrity update, Harris was marking a significant milestone in his personal life – the 20th anniversary of his first date with beloved husband, David Burtka.
Known for among other things his role as the enigmatic Count Olaf in Netflix’s “A Series of Unfortunate Events,” Neil took a moment to reflect on his own fortunate events, namely the enduring love story he shares with Burtka. The actor wrote, “Our first date was 20 years ago today. Man, how time has flown by… and yet… we’ve shared so many adventures, created so many remarkable memories. If the next 7,300 days are like the previous ones, I’ll be absolutely thrilled. Happy anniversary, David. I love you unconditionally, most of the time. XO.”

This post comes as no surprise to those who have followed Harris and Burtka’s relationship over the years. The couple, both prominent figures within the LGBTQ+ community, have often shared snippets of their life together along with their two children, Gideon and Harper.
Before falling in love, both walked different paths. Burtka, a skilled chef and accomplished actor; Harris, a versatile performer charming audiences since his ‘Doogie Howser, M.D.’ days. Yet, their shared love for the arts – and each other – connected them in ways that has now spanned two decades.
Recently, Harris and Burtka have received praise for their family’s yearly tradition with stunning Halloween costumes. Their work as LGBTQ+ advocates, particularly for gay parents, has also been applauded, demonstrating that their impact, like their love, extends beyond the spotlight.
In a world where #LoveIsLove, the bond between Harris and Burtka continues to inspire many. As they step into their next ‘7,300 days,’ their fans and followers wish them nothing but love, laughter, and a future filled with more unforgettable memories.
