From major highlights to background context, get a complete picture of 'Disenchanted' Actress Idina Menzel Is Married to Another 'Rent' Co-Star with our comprehensive overview.

Idina has only one child, a son named Walker. She welcomed him in 2009 with now-ex Taye Diggs. She and Taye have frequently spoken about their co-parenting tactics and how they navigate divorce amicably. In an interview with the radio show Valentine in the Morning, Idina talked about dating after divorce and wanting to put Walker's feelings first after her own experience as a child.

Idina said, "I don't want to keep introducing him to people and having him form bonds and then take them away, you know? It's bad enough his mom and dad are getting divorced."

"I went through it when I was 15 years old. I keep telling myself, because I feel so badly for him, it's better that he's 4-and-a half than when he's 15. He has two parents that love him very much and we want to be great moms and dads," Idina added. "At 15 I was too aware; I thought I was an adult, and I got in the middle of everything, and I took on the stress for both of them."

Thankfully, it sounds like she and Taye are navigating co-parenting well, and her new husband Aaron adores Walker! "They’re very close,” Idina told People in 2017. “They’re probably watching a film, or they run around play dodgeball with a sock, they make a ball out of socks and they hit each other."

Catch Idina's next project, a sequel to 2007's Enchanted, titled Disenchanted, exclusively on Disney Plus own Nov. 18, 2022.
