Idina and Taye got married in 2003 after they met in 1995 during the original production of Rent on Broadway.
The couple went on to appear in several movies together, with them then welcoming their son, Walker, in 2009.
COUPLE SPLIT
The couple sadly split in late 2013, with them parting ways after a decade of marriage.
When they filed their divorce papers, Idina cited negative public reaction to the “interractial aspect” of their marriage as a factor of their split.
“Complicated reasons” were also cited in the documents.
The former couple have continued to co-parent their son.
FATHER AND SON DATE
At the event, Walker could be seen posing with his dad, Taye.
The father-son duo posed up a storm on the red carpet, with Taye rocking a gray suit with a burgundy t-shirt, complete with a tan-colored hat.
Walker could then be seen wearing a black suit and white collared shirt, with the teen smiling beside his dad as they posed on the red carpet.

DOTING DAD
Taye recently opened up about how he enjoys the time he gets with his teenage son.
Speaking to PEOPLE, he said: “I try not to show him how excited I am just when he says three words to me, but it can be difficult.
“It’s very humbling because I feel like a 12-year-old girl that’s out with a senior boy.
“Anything I say could ruin the date. I’m so tentative.
“It’s a trip. I’m an adult and I’m hanging on every word of this 15-year-old. It’s fun. It’s really, really fun and eye-opening,” he added.
