Idina Menzel is finally talking about one of the hardest chapters of her life. At New York Comic Con, the Frozen star opened up about her 2013 divorce from Taye Diggs, telling the crowd,“We were separating and it was really hard. It was very complicated, that whole time.”
What makes the story so striking is the timing. The split happened the same year Frozen hit theaters and“Let It Go”became a global phenomenon. Menzel said the film filled her heart with“joy and love and forgiveness”during the turmoil, essentially carrying her through it. She even joked that Diggs couldn’t escape the song, imagining him in a mall hearing it on repeat and thinking,“I can’t let it go!”
Menzel and Diggs met during the original Broadway production of Rent in the mid-1990s, married in 2003, and welcomed son Walker in 2009. Since the divorce, Menzel married Aaron Lohr in 2017, and the exes have built an amicable co-parenting relationship. Have you ever had a song that got you through a tough breakup? Sound off in the comments.
