Neil Patrick Harris has shared a new photo of his husband and their two children and everyone is making the exact same point.

The 51-year-old How I Met Your Mother star, who married David Burtka, 49, back in 2014, posted a family snap during Thanksgiving sharing a heartfelt message about what he felt truly 'grateful' for.

Harris captioned the snap: "Thanksgiving, 2024. So much to be thankful for in our lives: our health, our wisdom, our family. Our community. Our friends, our support systems. Our followers.

"It’s been quite the year, and Thanksgiving allows me time for not only reflection, but appreciation. And gratitude. And thanks.

"I hope you’re able to take a minute today and focus on what’s good, what’s working… and to thank those who work hard to make things better.

"Happy Thanksgiving. Xo, N."

Fans, however, were quick to comment on the pair's children looking super grown up seemingly all of a sudden.

One Instagram user penned: "Weren't they just 7 and 10?"

"Wait…I thought they were babies?! Omg time is going by way too fast!!" quipped a second.

A third exclaimed: "Kids are so grown up!! Beautiful family!"

"Wait wait wait - those aren’t the kiddos! No way!" chirped a fourth, while a fifth admitted: "I feel old I remember when you announced the birth of them!!!!"

Another added: "They are sooo grown up!!! Time flys!!! What a good looking family!!! Happy Thanksgiving!"

And a final Instagram user echoed: "Wow, they grew up so fast! What a beautiful family."

Harris and Burtka first met in 2004 and after becoming friends and went public with their relationship in 2007.

They became parents to twins Gideon and Harper - who are 14 years old - after a surrogate carried and gave birth to them in 2010.

The children are non-identical, as two separate eggs were used.

Harris and Burtka each donated sperm in the hopes that either would fertilise the egg, but to their surprise, the twins were conceived.

Speaking to American broadcaster and journalist Barbara Walters in 2014, Harris explained: "We inserted one of my sperm and one of David's sperm into two eggs with the hope that they would both take, just because we both wanted to be dads biologically. Both took, miraculously."

Harris also explained that he has no interest in finding out which of his twins are his biologically.

"We are their parents and I love them implicitly," he said.
