Life just doesn’t seem like it could get much better for Lin-Manuel Miranda. In the last couple of years, the already successful Broadway performer/playwright/musician was launched to international stardom as the creator and star of Hamilton, the hip-hop inspired musical about the Founding Fathers that won all of the Tonys, a Pulitzer Prize, millions of dollars, and the hearts and minds of theatergoers. Then he wrote some songs for Disney’s Moana, and landed one of the main roles (opposite Emily Blunt) in the highly anticipated Mary Poppins Returns. He even got to host Saturday Night Live. Basically, everything is coming up Lin-Manuel Miranda, and it’s fine because he seems to be a sweet, earnest dude who loves and appreciates every minute of it.
Well, things just got even better for the guy. Yesterday, his wife of nearly a decade, Vanessa Nadal, gave birth to the couple’s second child. Miranda announced it with a very grand, very theatrical tweet…along with a gorgeous, black-and-white photo of mother and baby. Enter from stage left, Francisco Miranda, all 7 pounds and 13 ounces of him.
Int. Hospital Room. Night.
[The screams reach a delirious crescendo. FRANCISCO MIRANDA enters. He is 7 pounds and 13 ounces.]
Intermission.
