Taye Diggs’ Marriage with Idina Menzel, Children

Taye Diggs was previously married to actress Idina Menzel. The couple who were original cast members in the Broadway production of “Rent,” met in 1995. After dating for eight years, they got married on January 11, 2003.

In 2009, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child, and Idina disclosed that Taye Diggs had always been eager to have children since they first met.

She said:

“He wouldn’t talk about marriage, but he’d talk about me having his children. He’s always wanted, kids. He grew up with four younger brothers and sisters, so he’s very comfortable around children.”

In September 2009, Walker, their child, was born. Although they appeared to have a happy relationship, they announced separation in December 2013 which surprised fans.

After the separation, the former couple stated that their main priority was their son. Talking about the split, Diggs said:

“I’d be lying if I said there weren’t times when I thought, oh man, people are going to trip out if we split. Maybe they thought it was cute that we met in Rent. There weren’t a lot of couples like us in the theater community and I know there aren’t a lot of performers as talented as she is, and then you have the whole mixed thing. It was easy for people to root for us.”

The couple got divorced officially a year later, in December 2014.

As of now, Idina is married to actor Aaron Lohr.

His relationship with Amanza Smith

Taye Diggs and Amanza Smith first met each other at a bar in 2014 for some drinks. Amanza is a model, interior designer, real estate agent, and TV personality. She was born on December 12, 1976, in Indiana, US.

Even before they met, Smith always thought Taye was incredibly handsome. They were in a romantic relationship for about three years before ending things in 2018, with rumors indicating that Smith prioritized her family and career, causing the breakup.

In an episode of the podcast, ‘Not Skinny, Not Fat’, Amanza shared that they were not looking for a serious relationship at the time and decided they were better off as friends. She said:

“Neither one of us was in the right place to date. If you’re the first relationship someone has fresh out of a divorce, it’s probably never going to work. We are better off as friends.”

Despite not making it as a couple, they have remained friends.
