@m.exclusive.us: Idina Menzel was experiencing one of the biggest career breakthroughs of her life when her marriage to Taye Diggs was falling apart. Now, the actress and singer is opening up about how difficult that period really was. During a New York Comic Con panel on Thursday, Menzel reflected on their 2013 separation, which came just as Disney’s Frozen was about to change her career forever. “We were separating and it was really hard,” she admitted, explaining that the timing made everything more complicated. Then came “Let It Go.” The song became a massive hit, playing everywhere from shopping malls to radio stations. Menzel even joked about how difficult it must have been for Diggs to escape hearing it while their marriage was ending. “The poor guy,” she said, laughing about the situation. But behind the humor was a deeply emotional chapter. Menzel explained that while her personal life was filled with sadness, guilt, and regret, working on Frozen gave her something positive to hold onto. She said the film filled her heart with “joy and love and forgiveness” and gave her the chance to share something special with their son, Walker, who is now 17. Menzel and Diggs first met while starring in the Broadway musical Rent. They married in 2003 and announced their separation in December 2013, asking for privacy as they focused on raising their son. Both eventually moved forward with new relationships, and Diggs later praised Menzel for the care she continues to put into their son's life. Sometimes, even when one part of life is falling apart, another can give you the strength to keep going. \#IdinaMenzel #TayeDiggs #Frozen #CelebrityNews #hollywoodnews
