Taye Diggs, casually dressed in skinny jeans, a tan V-neck tee, and black-and-red Nike high-top sneakers, was spotted taking the subway with his son, Walker Nathaniel Diggs, in New York City.
The sighting came months after finalizing his divorce from Rent co-star Idina Menzel on December 3, 2014, following 10 years of marriage.

In an interview with The Grio, a website geared toward African Americans, Taye explained that he wants his son to embrace his mixed heritage.
“When you [call biracial kids black], you risk disrespecting that one half of who you are and that’s my fear,” Taye says.
“I don’t want my son to be in a situation where he calls himself black and everyone thinks he has a black mom and a black dad, and then they see a white mother, they wonder, ‘Oh, what’s going on?’”

“I am a proud black man. I want my son to grow up to be a proud black man if he so chooses. He has a mother who is white. He has every right to be just as proud of his mother’s ‘blood’ as well. Please wake up, people. It’s not that deep,” Taye later clarified on Twitter.

Before the Academy Award-winning film, though, the actress and singer had started making waves on stage with her roles in various musical plays, including the Broadway musical Wicked, for which she won the Tony Award for Best Actress in 2004.
