From September 2005 to March 2014, the beloved CBS sitcom whisked viewers away to MacLaren's Pub and helped skyrocket the careers of Josh Radnor, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel across nine seasons. Narrated by the late Bob Saget as Future Ted, this 10-time Emmy-winning series saw Ted Mosby (Radnor) recount the story to his two children of how he met their mother — hence the title — through flashbacks of his life in New York City with his close-knit friends. Following the show's success, a spinoff titled How I Met Your Father — starring Hilary Duff and featuring cameos from the original cast — ran for two seasons from 2022 to 2023 before being canceled by Hulu. In 2023, How I Met Your Mother celebrated its 18th anniversary, prompting Radnor to share a nostalgic throwback photo of the cast. "I am immensely grateful to have been part of a show that continues to mean so much to so many people," Radnor wrote in his caption. "It's hard to fully appreciate something like that in the moment but all these years later I got nothing but love for that show and the people I made it with." So grab your yellow umbrella and catch up to what the stars of How I Met Your Mother have been up to since the controversial series finale. 01 of 08 Josh Radnor as Ted Mosby Monty Brinton/CBS Photo Archive/Getty Images; Jean Baptiste Lacroix/WireImage Radnor played Ted Mosby, an architect living in N.Y.C. with his best friends. Throughout the series, fans rooted for the show's most relatable character, who remained determined to find true love in the big city. Though he played Mosby on-screen, Full House's Saget voiced Mosby as the show's narrator. After a nine-season run on the show, Radnor went on to play Dr. Jedediah Foster on the TV drama Mercy Street, Adam Epstein in the FX miniseries Fleishman Is in Trouble and Lonny Flash on the mystery-crime series Hunters — in addition to some theater work and releasing several studio albums. In November 2023, the actor and singer revealed his engagement to then-unnamed Jordana Jacobs, a clinical psychologist he had met at his friend's "psychedelic" event. The couple later tied the knot in a snow-covered ceremony in January 2024. 02 of 08 Cobie Smulders as Robin Scherbatsky Cliff Lipson/CBS Photo Archive/Getty Images; John Shearer/Getty Images Smulders played badass TV journalist and proud Canadian Robin Scherbatsky. Fun fact: Scherbatsky was once a child pop star who went by the name of Robin Sparkles, which totally blew the gang's minds (and ours). The actress went on to kick more ass as Maria Hill in various projects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — beginning with The Avengers (2012) — joined another crew of friends as Lisa Turner on the TV series Friends from College and earned other TV credits for Impeachment: American Crime Story, How I Met Your Father and High School. Since 2012, the actress has been married to former Saturday Night Live cast member Taran Killam, with whom she shares two daughters, Shaelyn and Janita. 03 of 08 Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson Monty Brinton/CBS Photo Archive/Getty Images Need a wingman? Barney Stinson — played by Harris — was your guy. The ladies' man always wore a suit and lived his life by the bro code (Article 1: Bros before Hoes). The Emmy winner went on to play Count Olaf on Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events, joined the fourth installment of the Matrix franchise and landed the lead on the comedy series Uncoupled, among other projects. In 2014, he took on the titular role in Hedwig and the Angry Inch on Broadway, earning him the Tony Award for best leading actor in a musical. Since 2004, Harris has been in a relationship with actor and chef David Burtka, with whom he shares twins Gideon and Harper; the two married in Italy after a decade of dating. 04 of 08 Alyson Hannigan as Lily Aldrin Monty Brinton/CBS Photo Archive/Getty Images After appearing in the American Pie film series, Hannigan portrayed one-half of the show's fan-favorite couple, Lily Aldrin — a kindergarten teacher–turned–art consultant to the Captain. Lily was married to Marshall "Marshmallow" Eriksen (Segel), and the two eventually welcomed son Marvin and daughter Daisy. (Spoiler alert: On the final episode, Aldrin reveals she's expecting a third.) Following HIMYM, Hannigan voiced Claire Clancy on the animated series Fancy Nancy, played Dr. Ann Possible in the 2019 Kim Possible live-action reboot film and competed on season 32 of Dancing with the Stars in 2023, finishing in fifth place. She married her Buffy the Vampire Slayer costar, Alexis Denisof, in 2003, and they share two daughters. 05 of 08 Jason Segel as Marshall Eriksen Monty Brinton/CBS via Getty Images; Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images Marshall loved his Lilypad. The other half of the show's treasured pair, played by Segel, was also roommates with Ted when they were college students at Wesleyan University. Introduced as a corporate lawyer in N.Y.C., Eriksen later became a New York State Supreme Court judge. Segel later starred as Dane Faucheux in the 2019 film Our Friend and Paul Westhead on HBO's Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty. The actor earned an Emmy nomination for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series for his performance on Apple TV+'s Shrinking, which he co-created with Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein. Following his split with photographer Alexis Mixter in 2021 after eight years of dating, Segel started a new relationship with So You Think You Can Dance alum Kayla Radomski. 06 of 08 Cristin Milioti as Tracy McConnell Robert Voets/CBS via Getty Images; Ian West/PA Images via Getty Images After seasons and seasons of suspense, Tracy McConnell — played by Cristin Milioti — was revealed to be Ted's wife and mother to their two children. Fans eventually found out that McConnell died from an unnamed illness, which prompted Mosby to share with his kids the story of how he met their mother. (And also kicked off one of the most controversial series finales ... ever.) Milioti expanded her TV résumé with roles on Fargo, The Mindy Project, Made for Love and The Resort, and co-starred alongside Andy Samberg in the 2020 Hulu rom-com Palm Springs. According to Deadline, the actress is also set to star opposite Colin Farrell as Sofia Falcone on Max's The Batman limited spinoff series, The Penguin. 07 of 08 Lyndsy Fonseca as Penny Mosby CBS; Robin L Marshall/Getty Images After playing Ted and Tracy's daughter, Penny, Lyndsy Fonseca later appeared on Agent Carter, RePlay and 9-1-1: Lone Star. In October 2016, the actress married her Nikita costar, Noah Bean. The couple welcomed two daughters: Greta in 2018 and Evelyn in 2022. 08 of 08 David Henrie as Luke CBS; Rich Polk/Getty Images Wizards of Waverly Place star David Henrie took on the role of Ted and Tracy's son, Luke. (In 2024, the actor reunited with his on-screen dad, Radnor, sharing a photo captioned, "Found my father. Finally.") In 2020, the Disney Channel alum starred in his feature directorial debut, This Is the Year, produced by his WOWP costar Selena Gomez. He will also portray a younger version of Dennis Quaid's Ronald Reagan in the upcoming biopic Reagan and to reprise his character alongside Gomez in the Wizards of Waverly Place revival. In April 2017, Henrie and former Miss Delaware Maria Cahill tied the knot in an old Hollywood-inspired ceremony. The couple have three children together: daughters Pia and Gemma and son James.
