How I Met Your Mother star defends show ending
A How I Met Your Mother star has defended the show's controversial ending.
The sitcom came to an end in 2014, with the reveal that Robin (Cobie Smulders) and Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) got married only to later get divorced, while Robin ended up once again dating Ted (Josh Radnor) after his children's mother died from cancer.
At the time, a lot of fans felt disappointed that Barney and Robin's relationship ultimately failed and she ended up with Ted.
But, speaking recently, Cobie Smulders defended the ending; adding that the opportunity to stream the series in full proves that Ted and Robin were the show's true love story the whole time!
