Tabloid magazine The National Enquirer has released an article claiming actor Neil Patrick Harris and partner David Burtka are splitting up, calling Burtka Harris’s “gay lover.”

The couple, though not married, have been together for more than a decade and have two children.

Harris responded to the rumors by posting a picture of Burtka and his children on Instagram, stating: “I couldn’t be more in love with my family. Any reports to the contrary are woefully mistaken. #grateful.”

Website RumorFix also contacted a spokesperson for Harris who said the story was “complete and utter nonsense.”

In a recent interview, Harris talked to Glamour about his sexual exploits with women before coming out as gay.

Harris performed at the 68th annual Tony Awards in June, passionately kissing Burtka during the performance.

Actor Andrew Rannells discussed replacing Harris as Hedwig in Broadway’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
