Idina has let her marriage go. One year after their public split, Idina and Taye secretly ended their 10 year marriage and are now officially divorced, according to a new report.
Idina Menzel, 43, and Taye Diggs, 44, called it quits on their marriage after they announced their split in December 2013. However, the couple didn’t take any divorce action until nearly one year later, finalizing the divorce in December 2014 after 10 years of marriage.

Taye Diggs & Idina Menzel: Did They Split Because Of Taye’s ‘Roving Eye’?

We were shocked when Taye and Idina announced that they were separating after a decade of marriage. They have always seemed like such a happy, stable couple, but a new report says they split because Taye was interested in other women!
It’s hard to imagine Taye Diggs looking for love outside of his marriage — especially when he has a wife as beautiful and talented as Idina Menzel! But apparently Taye’s wandering eye is partly to blame for their separation, according to Vh1′s The Gossip Table.
