Neil Patrick Harris and his partner, David Burtka, will become parents of twins this fall.

A representative for Harris confirmed in an e-mail Monday that Harris made the announcement in a Twitter post.

The 37-year-old actor says he and actor-chef Burtka are "super excited/nervous/thrilled." He did not say whether they were adopting or using a surrogate.

Harris posted the message Saturday. He stars in the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother."
