Scott Leo “Taye” Diggs is an American actor. He is known for his roles in the Broadway musicals Rent and Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the TV series Private Practice (2007-2013), Murder in the First (2014-2016), and All American (2018-), and the films How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998), Brown Sugar (2002), and The Best Man (1999) and its sequel, The Best Man Holiday (2013).
Diggs has twice appeared on Paramount Network’s reality competition series Lip Sync Battle and is the show’s only two-time winner. In a third season episode against Ne-Yo, Diggs sang his competitor’s song “Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)” and then performed as Madonna for round two’s performance of “Vogue”.
Diggs hosted the game show Hypnotize Me with hypnotist Keith Barry, based on Barry’s British program You’re Back in the Room. Hypnotize Me was originally shot for broadcast on FOX in 2016, but never aired on the network. The eight-episode series was eventually broadcast on The CW, in the summer of 2019.
What happened between Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel?
The couple divorced in November 2014, with TMZ confirming at the time that it was an amicable split with neither party seeking spousal support and both agreeing to co-parent and share the financial responsibilities of their son, Walker Diggs.
Idina Menzel admitted to The Telegraph that she felt guilty for breaking up their family. “I come from divorced parents and I said I wouldn’t ever do it,” she revealed.
However, the two continue to have a remarkably strong co-parenting relationship, with Taye Diggs telling Us Weekly in 2017 that they’re completely on the same page when it comes to raising Walker and “trust each other.” “We both love our son so much, that the best way to raise him is to provide him with whatever we can,” he explained simply.
OK! Magazine caught them en route to Walker’s basketball game together back in 2018, confirming they remain on good terms and are putting on a united front.
