Eighteen years ago, Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel co-starred in the classic musical drama called Rent. Four years later, the married couple welcomed their one and only child, Walker Diggs. However, in 2013, the award-winning actor and actress broke up. Taye Diggs has not remarried, while Menzel achieved holy matrimony again with another fellow actor named Aaron Lohr in 2017.
In a recent episode of Dinner's on Me, the star of Wicked detailed some of the reasons for her split with the father of her child, including the challenges they faced as an interracial couple.
“The thing that came into play more, I would say ― and [Taye’s] talked about it, too ― is the interracial aspect of it,” Menzel said. “He was on the cover of Essence and Ebony, and being interviewed by all of these Black journalists, and I think he had his own stuff to deal with, with that...And it seemed like there was disappointment in the community with him because he was married to a little White Jewish girl from some show that we don’t even remember. So I took that on, too.”
