"Taye Diggs always knew Idina Menzel was The One -- but he wasn&amp;apos;t always so sure the Broadway star&amp;apos;s family felt the same way about him.\r\n&amp;quot;When she took me home, her dad came out and I was like, &amp;apos;OK, well take off that hood then and let&amp;apos;s see,&amp;quot; Diggs recently joked on Sway&amp;apos;s SiriusXM radio show. &amp;quot;No, I&amp;apos;m just kidding! I said, &amp;apos;You&amp;apos;re tough with the fiery cross in your yard!&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAll kidding aside, Diggs, 40, said he was &amp;quot;really lucky&amp;quot; to be accepted by his in-laws. &amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t know what they felt on the inside, but I was very fortunate,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;They&amp;apos;re very loving and accepting. They&amp;apos;re great grandparents. I can&amp;apos;t lie, I had no issues there.&amp;quot;\r\nDiggs&amp;apos; family was equally accepting of Menzel, 40.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;My mother said, &amp;apos;I told you!&amp;apos;&amp;quot; the Private Practice star laughed. &amp;quot;She always thought -- I hate this, but I&amp;apos;m being honest -- she said, &amp;apos;I always knew you were gonna marry a white girl!&amp;apos; I hated her when I was young for saying that, but eventually, for whatever reason, that&amp;apos;s what happened. She loves my wife.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThough the Chocolate Me author admits he and Menzel are often criticized for their interracial romance, it hasn&amp;apos;t affected their feelings for one another. &amp;quot;I get it, but that&amp;apos;s not my trip,&amp;quot; Diggs said. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m living my life and I found a woman who I love.&amp;quot;\r\nMarried since January 2003, Diggs and Menzel are parents to son Walker Nathaniel, 2."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
