What Happened To Diana DeGarmo After American Idol?

So what happened to Diana DeGarmo after American Idol? Well, her debut 2004 single, "Dreams," failed to break into the Billboard Top 10, so it's safe to say the singer didn't find monumental success on the charts. However, she did find success in her love life ... with another Idol alum! 

In 2013, the Season 3 runner-up tied the knot with Season 5 finalist Ace Young. Though they were two seasons apart, they found each other! In fact, it was Broadway — where DeGarmo has found decent success — that brought them together. According to Billboard, the two met while starring in Hair in 2010 and begun dating. Two years later, Young enlisted Ryan Seacrest to help with the proposal, which ended up taking place on the finale of Season 11. "We were inseparable," Young told The Hollywood Reporter in 2013."We had breakfast, lunch and dinner together every day. I instantly knew I had a best friend." Aw! 

In terms of her career, DeGarmo has mostly stuck to the Broadway stage. According to Broadway World, she starred alongside Season 4 Idol contestant Constantine Maroulis in a regional production of Jekyll & Hyde. TV-wise, she had a recurring role on the singing series Sing It! and the long-running soap The Young and the Restless. Interestingly enough, she's also credited as the singing voice of Cosmo on an episode of The Fairly OddParents. Diana DeGarmo may not be the most famous Idol alum, but she's certainly stayed busy!
