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!!!
