S26E4: Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs

Welcome to Classy Divorces! Today we’re getting into the decidedly not-trashy (for the most part) split between The Queen of Broadway, Idina Menzel, and fellow actor Taye Diggs. The pair dated for seven years after meeting as co-stars on the original cast of Rent, then were married for a decade before shocking the world by announcing their separation – and the reasons behind it are complex.
