They better pay this year's rent, because they have another mouth to feed. 'Rent' alums and all-around pretty people Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel welcomed a son, Walker, on Wednesday.

"Mother, father and son are all doing well," their reps said in a statement to PEOPLE.

Walker is the first child for Diggs and Menzel, who are both 38 and met on the 1996 Broadway production of Rent. They wed in January 2003. Diggs is currently a star on 'Private Practice.'

Congratulations on the healthy new baby! And I really respect that you gave him a strong, steadfast name which will serve him well in life. Of course, I shouldn't be surprised, since you boought him into have a stable, loving, married, committed home with two parents to help along the way, too!

I hope he saves his money because Private Practice stinks and I don't think it's going to last for that reason AND because the star and the producer (who were married) are getting divorced.

Too bad we can't retroactively get rid of you. There are definitely too many of those with your attitude.
