The Entire Neil Patrick Harris Family Had Coronavirus

His whole family, including husband David Burtka and their 9-year-old twins. Harper and Gideon, contracted coronavirus at the beginning of the pandemic.

Harris’s family is now health.

“It happened very early, 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,” Harris said.

I want to wish my incredible husband @nph a spectacular Birthday! Every celebration we spend together gets better and better. I am grateful for this quarantine because we’ve actually gotten to spend more quality time and it’s brought us closer together. Thank you @NPH for being a fantastic father, a perfect spouse and an overall magnificent man.

Losing your sense of taste and smell is a sign that you might have COVID-19. Harris’s noted that while his family is now fully recovered, he recalls the process as difficult.

“It was not pleasant, but we got through it and have antibodies and are feeling good,” he said. “We want to make sure everyone’s doing their best to slow this down every way possible, for sure.”
