Idina & Taye Welcome a Son!

It's a boy for Idina and Taye. The couple welcomed a son, Walker Diggs, on Wednesday. "Mother, father and son are all doing well," the reps said in a statement.

The Broadway belters announced the pregnancy in March, later sharing that the baby was a boy. Although they had a few names in mind, Diggs said they were waiting to make a final decision.

"We have a couple [names] in the running," the Private Practice star explained. "But part of us wants to see what he hits us with when we see him. We'll see what he looks like." Walker is the first child for Menzel and Diggs, who are both 38 and met on the 1996 Broadway production of Rent. They wed in January 2003.

If you would like to send your congratulations and support for them in something more than words, you may donate to Idina's Stand Up to Cancer team. Please do not send baby gifts to her fanmail address. If you would like to donate, you may do so by clicking here. Idina's team has already raised more than $1,700 to Stand Up 2 Cancer's research.

congratulations!!

What a powerful name, and he will do you proud, I'm sure. So happy for you and happy that you went a week before your delivery date (generally with first babies it's the opposite and goes on and on and on....). You survived the summers heat, which was brutal, too, so enjoy parenthood, and I'm looking forward the the season premier of 'Private Practice' and awaiting Idina's plan post-maternity leave....God bless you all!
