Idina Menzel just gave us the most honest look yet at one of the hardest chapters of her life. At a New York Comic Con panel, the Frozen star opened up about her 2013 separation from Taye Diggs, admitting the timing was brutal.“We were separating, and it was really hard,”she said.“It was very complicated, that whole time.”
What makes this story so striking is the overlap. As her marriage was ending,“Let It Go”was exploding into a global anthem, and she was starring in Broadway’s If/Then. Menzel credits both projects with saving her during that period, saying they filled her with joy, love, and forgiveness when she needed it most.
Today, she and Diggs have built something worth celebrating. The two, who met in the original 1995 Broadway cast of Rent and share son Walker, have a coparenting relationship that Diggs himself called“fairly simple”because they always put their son first. Have you ever leaned on a creative project or a song to get through a tough time? Tell us about it in the comments.
