Wicked cute! Idina Menzel shared a rare photo with her teenage son, Walker, whom she shares with ex-husband Taye Diggs.
“Happy New Year everyone, from me and my three curly-haired boys. xoxo,” the Frozen star, 51, captioned a sweet selfie via Instagram on Sunday, January 1, in which she posed with Walker, 13, husband Aaron Lohr and their dog. The Broadway icon placed a red heart over her son’s face as the family cuddled on the couch.
Menzel and Diggs, 52, rarely share any pictures of their son via social media. However, the coparents have frequently gushed about their child, whom they welcomed in September 2009.

He plays basketball every day and when he’s not playing basketball, he’s running around throwing a football.”
Diggs and Menzel were married from 2003 to 2011. The now-exes met while costarring in Rent, which premiered on Broadway in 1996. The How Stella Got Her Groove Back star originated the role of Benny, while the Disenchanted actress was the first to play Maureen.
