High-Wire Act
Neil Patrick Harris is kissing the actress Cobie Smulders. It’s an intimate kiss, eyes closed, finish with low moans.
The pair embrace on a Unused York City stoop, on the Los Angeles put of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, which returns to the air next Monday. It’s a cool, late-summer night. “It feels prefer New York weather,” says Josh Radnor, who plays Ted, the nice-guy direction, as they prep the next take. The exhibit is by design Ted’s story, told to his children, but this season the great romance belongs to his friend Barney, played by Harris. Four seasons ago, Barney was a mere comic sidekick, but Harris’s performance has turned him into a larger-than-life figure, a suit-fetishizing horndog whose catchphrases (“Legen—wait for it!—dary”) are printed all over CBS swag and who even has his own spin-off guide, The Bro Code. Now he’s moving into deeper waters, struggling with what it might mean to have more than just another one-night stand. In the scene they’re filming, Barney is trying to behave like a boyfriend—learning, like Pinocchio, to be a real boy.

"I ran into my friend Kate one day and she was with this brooding, James Dean–type guy in a leather jacket who gave me the chief nod and then turned away," he wrote. "I assumed he was Kate's boyfriend and said, 'Nicely done.' And she said, 'David? He's not playing on my team, but he has a boyfriend.'"
In the same piece, Burtka added that his long-distance relationship at the moment "was sort of on the rocks."
The two hung out for the first time at an "American Idol" viewing party thrown by a mutual companion, and Harris wrote that he "couldn't take my eyes off" Burtka.
April 2004: The pair went to the movies for their first date.
Harris and Burtka first spent time hanging out with each other platonically.
"We began hanging out with other people, and we had a lunch or so, but nothing romantic," Burtka wrote for Out. "I thought he was adorable, though, with th

"It's a super-individual thing," the "How I Met Your Mother" star told HuffPost Live Monday. "I don't consider (coming out) in an exploitative way makes sense. I just feel prefer that whole earth is very personal."
