Menzel and Diggs first crossed paths while costarring in the original Broadway production of Rentback in the mid-'90s. "Rent is literally the gift that keeps on giving," Diggs said during a 2021 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show."I met my baby mama there, it was the beginning of my career. That's where it all started."
In December 1998, Diggs showed up to the premiere of his movieThe Best Man with Menzel by his side, PEOPLE reported at the time.
Eight years after meeting on Rent, PEOPLE reported that Menzel and Diggs had tied the knot in a small, nighttime ceremony overlooking the ocean at the Round Hill resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica — the same place where Diggs filmed How Stella Got Her Groove Back, the flick that shot him to universal fame in 1998.
In 2004, Menzel won the Tony Award for best actress in a musical for her iconic turn as Elphaba in Wicked. During her emotional acceptance speech, Menzel took a moment to thank Diggs, who was crying in the audience. "My beautiful, beautiful husband who tells me he loves me every time I feel like the biggest loser," she said. "I love you so much."
A rep for Menzel and Diggs confirmed in March 2009 that they were expecting their first child together. The Wickedstar said that Diggs had "always wanted kids." She added, "He grew up with four younger brothers and sisters, so he's very comfortable around children."
Just one month later, Menzel and Diggs confirmed to PEOPLE that their son, Walker Nathaniel, had arrived. "Mother, father and son are all doing well," reps for the couple said in a statement.
Three weeks after Walker's arrival, Diggs made an appearance at the American Cancer Society's Blow Out Cancer event, where the new dad expressed his aweat Menzel's seamless transition into motherhood. "I have a newfound respect and admiration that borders on worship of my wife," he said. "Just to see her turn into a mother overnight is amazing."
In October 2009, during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the All Americanstar doubled down on his respect for Menzel, calling her "a warrior" for delivering Walkerwithout any pain medication. "When that first pain hit her and I saw her face, I was like, 'Okay, I'm just going to be in this other room,' " he joked. He continued,"Then when h...
One year after welcoming Walker, the Broadway vets stopped by Sesame Streetfor a joint appearance on the long-running children's show. As part of the "Word of the Day" segment, the duo helped explain the meaning of the word "allergic."
Three months later, Menzel posted her first selfie on Instagram, which featured Diggs. "Pedicab NYC with @TayeDiggs," the Broadway star captioned the image.
