Amanza Smith and Taye Diggs
Following her divorce from Ralph, Amanza and Taye Diggs were seen holding hands in April 2014 before making their red carpet debut as a couple at the BET Awards in June of that year.
Taye Diggs is a 49-year-old actor best know for his roles in iconic musicals such as Rent, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, as well as TV series like Private Practice.
“They are 100% in love,” a source told E! News at the time. “They have been dating for a while.” But after four years together as a couple happily in the limelight, the pair split in 2018.
In Amanza’s Instagram bio, she describes herself as a “single mommmy of 2,” [sic] so it is likely that she is still single.
