Lin-Manuel Miranda Rapped To Win Over Wife Vanessa Nadal

Lin-Manuel Miranda is opening up about how he was able to charm his way to Vanessa Nadal‘s heart – rapping!

The 40-year-old Hamilton creator revealed that he had admired Vanessa from afar during their college days and it took him seven long years to finally say anything to her.

Lin says that he invited Vanessa to a performance by his improvisational troupe, Freestyle Love Supreme, which combined traditional improv with rap, and that’s when they finally connected.

Only it wasn’t him who made the actual first move, Vanessa did!

Vanessa actually went to a second performance of the group and “that was when she asked me out. She was impressed at my ability to do this very specific thing.”

Just recently, Vanessa revealed she did this whenever Lin kissed someone in Hamilton. See what it is…

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Wife Vanessa Nadal Does This When He Kisses Someone in 'Hamilton'

Vanessa Nadal is poking fun at husband Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s love life in Hamilton.

The wife of the 40-year-old composer shared just how she reacts when Lin, as the title character, kisses someone in the hip-hop musical.

While live tweeting with the original cast tonight (July 3), Vanessa admitted that she actually boos the scenes.

“I always boo when Lin kisses someone else on stage, and people sitting around me look at me like I’m a crazy person,” she wrote.

Vanessa then added that her and Lin‘s oldest child, Sebastian, reminded her that she actually forgot to boo at one of them.

“‘you missed the fourth kiss,’ reports Sebastian. He’s counting. Thanks, kid,” she wrote.

Vanessa and Lin have been married since 2010 and share two children together, Sebastian, 5, and Francisco, 2.
