Idina Menzel & Taye Diggs: We’re Expecting!

Private Practice star Taye Diggs and Tony award-winning actress Idina Menzel are expecting their first baby!

“[I've been ready for kids since] the day I met him,” Idina has told Us Weekly. “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.”

Taye, 38, and Idina, 37, first met on 1996’s original Broadway production of Rent in NYC and married in January 2003.

After 13 years together, congrats to the happy couple!!!

Many congrats! I saw Idina in concert last week in Washington, DC and as soon as she came onstage in a long baggy T-shirt I just KNEW something was up. But I’m glad for the confirmation. :-) Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!

These two are an outstandingly talented couple. I saw them in Wicked and their chemistry reminded me of what my parents must’ve been like when they met. Taye and Idina also endured such horrors as death threats and such because they chose to believe love was thicker than color. It’s nice to know that their love has sustained and that has culminated in what I’m sure will be a very beautiful and much loved child. Congratulations to their growing family.

Women who get an education and have careers wait later, kids. Some of you who manage to make it through junior high will understand that someday.

If you read it all it states that they got married in 2003. So yeah they’re married and are now having a baby together. Congratulations! :)

First of all to seth finley from sfx (#44 #45)
You won’t get anywhere in life by insulting other people. Grow up.. seriously.
And second of all..
YAY.. Even if it doesn’t mean anything: Very best wishes to Menzel & Diggs. Hope their baby is healthy and no doubt talented like the both of them. ♥ ♫

@wed mother: Wed Mother, how did you read that very short article and yet not understand that this couple has been married for six years? Better to be sure before you start to preach!

@seth finley from sfx:

That was extremely disrespectful on so many different levels. I’ll leave it at that. Just be careful you don’t confuse infamy with “fame.”

Idina is one of the most amazing singers and song writers. She is so influential and she is my biggest idol. Her and Taye are amazing, and they were is the most amazing musicals ever written. Rent, and Wicked. I saw her in concert and she is the most real person, and i would die to meet her. I am so happy for them congradulations, and i hope everything goes well.That baby is going to have amazing parents, and amazing genes.
