Neil Patrick Harris has said that one of the main reasons he married his long-term partner David Burtka was for their children's sake.
The 41-year-old star married Burtka in an intimate ceremony in Italy earlier this month and told The View, "I think when our kids got to the age when they were having reasonable conversations where they're asking lots of 'why' questions, then it seemed [important] to be able to have a real clear-cut [identity] of who their daddy is – that he's my husband, it was easier than partner or boyfriend."
On the ceremony he added, "I just wanted to be able to say nice things about David to David in front of the people that mattered the most to us. It was less about a proclamation and more about a declaration that I was able to share in front of our kids."
The couple have been together for over 10 years, becoming engaged in 2011.
