The father and son from How I Met Your Mother have “finally” met each other 9 years after the series ended!

David Henrie, who played the future son of Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) on the CBS sitcom, crossed paths with his TV dad and snapped a picture to document the encounter.

If you perhaps don’t recall, Henrie and Radnor never actually shared the screen on HIMYM.

“Found my father,” Henrie captioned the above photo on Instagram on Friday, before adding, “Finally.”

Henrie, who also stars as Justin Russo on Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place, appeared alongside a young Lyndsy Fonseca (who played his sister Penny) throughout all nine seasons of HIMYM as Ted narrated the story of how he met their mother.

Two years ago, series co-creator Carter Bays — who also executive produced the two-season Hulu spinoff How I Met Your Father — expressed regret over some of the creative decisions that were made on HIMYM.

“I won’t go into specifics,” Bays said back in 2021, “but I’ll just say I would love to go into an edit room and go George Lucas on this thing, and remove certain stuff I really wish wasn’t in there and I bet nobody would miss.”

Bays said his new perspective came after rewatching Season 3’s 18th episode, “Rebound Bro,” in which Neil Patrick Harris’ Barney attempted to help his coworker Randy Wharmpess (recurring guest star Will Forte) pick up women at MacLaren’s. In the episode, Barney forces Robin (Cobie Smulders) to practice small talk with Randy by threatening to release a sex tape they had made if she didn’t oblige.
