It's not uncommon for real-life Shondaland couples to appear on the same show but have their characters be dating other people. That's exactly what happened with Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel on Private Practice. The couple met while performing in the original Broadway cast of Rent and went on to get married in 2003, as noted by People. Both have successful careers, with Menzel starring in big hits like Frozen and Diggs appearing in Chicago, Empire, and, of course, Private Practice. Menzel had a guest spot on Private Practice in 2009, while they were married, though she wasn't with Diggs' character on the show.
Sadly though, their marriage didn't last. Menzel and Diggs finalized their divorce in 2015 (via Us Weekly), as the relationship had started showing strain years earlier. In an interview with People in 2013, Menzel said, "I'm not going to glamorize it or glorify it — we go through tough times like everybody else." Despite their difficulties, the ex-couple are committed to co-parenting their son, as Diggs confirmed in an Us Weekly interview, saying, "We both love our son so much. ...We wanna do right by our kid."
