Taye Diggs’ ex-wife, Idina Menzel, recently made an appearance on the Dinner’s On Me podcast and discussed their failed union.
She admitted that the fact that her marriage was inter-racial was the reason it didn’t work out to host Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
She described how both of them experienced relationship difficulties as a result of their extreme popularity, which was mostly brought on by the “interracial aspect.”
Lets find out who Nathaniel Diggs is and his parents, Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs.
