A breakup is tough on the couple, but in Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel’s case, it was hard on many fans, too.
“I’d be lying if I said there weren’t times when I thought, ‘Oh, man, people are going to trip out [if we split],'” Diggs told Redbook.
The couple, who met while co-starring in Broadway’s “Rent,” announced their separation in December after a decade of marriage.
“Maybe [fans] thought it was cute that we met in ‘Rent,'” Diggs, 43, said. “There weren’t a lot of couples like us in the theater community. ? And then you have the whole mixed [race] thing. It was easy for people to root for us.”
