Taye Diggs & Idina Menzel Split

After a decade of marriage, Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel have separated, PEOPLE has learned.

"Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs have jointly decided to separate at this time," reps for the couple tell PEOPLE. "Their primary focus and concern is for their son. We ask that you respect their privacy during this time."

Diggs and Menzel, both 42, met as costars in the original production of the Broadway musical Rent in the mid-1990s. They married in 2003 and had a son, Walker, in 2009.

Menzel, a Tony Award winner for Wicked, spoke to PEOPLE about the marriage earlier this year, saying it wasn't always smooth sailing.

"We work at it," she said. "I'm not going to glamorize it or glorify it – we go through tough times like everybody else, but we love each other very much. We try not to be away from each other for more than two weeks at a time, and we try to find new ways to communicate."

I have to say I'm really surprised about this one. Although, just for clarity's sake they met during The Wild Party which was before Rent.

Oh really? They always say they meant during Rent.
What was/is The Wild Party? Another play?

Not surprised by this, he is truly a dog.

My sister's ex boyfriends sister is an actress in Hollywood (small recurring roles on some popular tv shows).

She was on several epsidoes of Private Practice and he was all over her whenever he had the chance.

She really had nothing nice to say about him.

Rent came first.

I saw him in The Wild Party back then (2000). The only part I remember is him without his shirt on. Chat Icon I didn't know who she was back then...

Sad to see they split.

I'm shocked by this!

I had no idea he was like that with other women (according to what pp's have said).

She was just on Kelly & Michael promoting Frozen and they brought up their marriage and you would never know that something was off.

Very sad.

I also know someone who was seriously hit on by him after he was married so I believe it!

Given that she skipped the premier of Frozen, I'm not surprised something was up, especially since their son is little.
