The next couple to join the pregnant celebrities bandwagon is Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel. Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel are expecting their first baby after 13 years together, their rep exclusively confirmed to Usmagazine.com. The baby is due later this year. Taye, who stars on the hit ABC show, Private Practice star, 38, and the Tony award-winning actress, 37, first met on the original 1996 Broadway production of Rent in NYC. They got married in January 2003 after seven years of dating.
The Menzel hinted to Us last January that once she finished promoting her third solo album, I Stand, she would consider starting a family with Diggs and becoming one of many pregnant celebrities. “It’s definitely in the plans,” she told Us. “I’ll settle down and start popping out some babies. The question most ask when we see pregnant celebrities is will it follow in mommy and daddy’s footsteps and become a celebrity baby? There is a great chance that this baby will be a celebrity baby, with parents like Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel. Many pregnant celebrities say they do not want a celebrity baby or that it is up to the child. In any case there is no doubt this child will have talent. Idina has said Diggs has been ready for kids since “the day I met him.” “He wouldn’t talk about marriage, but he’d talk about me having his children,” she told Us. “He’s always wanted kids. He grew up with four younger brothers and sisters, so he’s very comfortable around children.”
So how do they keep their marriage together? “We just really work hard to try to stay best friends,” Menzel told Us. “I love him so much, and I feel like we both have each other’s backs, and we have a great respect for each other. We’re enjoying each new phase of our lives together.” If nothing else is known it can be said without a doubt that this celebrity baby will grow up in a house full of love.
