‘Hearts Are Full’: Ex-Wife Of James Van Der Beek Marries Three Months After Actor’s Death

Heather McComb, who was married to James Van Der Beek from 2003 to 2010, tied the knot with actor Scott Michael Campbell over the weekend in an intimate ceremony three months after the Dawson’s Creek star’s death.

“Our hearts are full and humbled by all of the love that we were surrounded by,” McComb posted on Instagram Sunday. “God is so good. Thank you to all of our family and friends who traveled from all over the country to be with us. Thank you Jesus the way maker miracle worker!”

McComb shared photos from the ceremony in Montana, where the couple looked happily in love surrounded by their closest friends and family.

The “Party of Five” actress shared a heartfelt message after Van Der Beek’s passing on February 11. He was just 48 years old and had been battling stage three colorectal cancer.

“I am heartbroken over the loss of beloved James. I am especially heartbroken for his incredible wife Kimberly, his beautiful children and his amazing family, Jim, Jared, Juliana and all of his family and friends who I know he loved deeply,” McComb wrote on Instagram.

Van Der Beek remarried Kimberly in 2010 and went on to have six children with her after his split from McComb.

The 49-year-old actress’s nuptials to Campbell come after more than a decade of friendship before the two’s relationship turned romantic more than three years ago, as reported by People magazine.

Campbell, best known for his role in “Brokeback Mountain,” and McComb had a large bridal party to stand next to them on their rain-filled big day. The weather clearly did not put a damper on the high spirits of the day. The ceremony began and ended with worship music before everyone moved into the reception hall and danced the night away.

McComb took the time to thank all of the vendors who made her day special as she shared photos from the weekend. Fans of the actress flooded the couple with comments wishing them well.

Some users seemed to confuse McComb with Van Der Beek’s widow, Kimberly, leaving comments like “couldn’t even wait a year,” referring to the short timeframe between the wedding and Van Der Beek’s death. But as previously mentioned, McComb and Van Der Beek had been divorced since 2010.

“James was a blessing to all that knew him and because of his boldness to share his journey with the world so bravely is now a blessing to all,” McComb shared in an Instagram post alongside an old picture of her and her then beau. “God please hold Kimberly, his children, his family and everyone who is mourning his loss in your arms. You are the healer of all healers.”

Her tribute to Van Der Beek showed there was nothing but respect for her former partner, as she geared up to enter her new union with the 54-year-old “Shameless” star.

McComb concluded her post with a picture of her own dirt-covered shoes and socks, which read, “I love my husband.”
