James Van Der Beek's ex-wife, Heather McComb, has remarried just four months after the Dawson's Creek star's tragic death. McComb tied the knot with American actor, writer, and director Scott Michael Campbell on Saturday in Missoula, Montana. She was previously married to Van Der Beek from 2003 to 2010 and paid tribute to him in February after his death following a brave battle with colorectal cancer.
Wedding Details
McComb marked this new chapter by sharing photos from her second wedding on Instagram. She stunned in a lace-embellished wedding gown with a cross necklace and a long train and veil, while her new husband wore a white tuxedo jacket with black pants and a black tie.
"Our hearts are full and humbled by all of the love that we were surrounded by," McComb posted. "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! You all made it so special and a truly magical weekend that we will never forget. We are sitting here counting our many blessings. Thank you to everyone who made this so special for us!"
Van Der Beek's Passing
McComb's celebration comes four months after the death of her first husband, Van Der Beek, who died in February at age 48 from stage 3 colorectal cancer. At the time, McComb shared an emotional tribute alongside a throwback photo from her 21st birthday, taken before Dawson's Creek had aired.
"I am heartbroken over the loss of beloved James," McComb said. "I am especially heartbroken for his incredible wife Kimberly, his beautiful children, and his amazing family. I will treasure the last loving words we exchanged. James was a beautiful soul filled with so much light, love, talent, humor, depth, sensitivity, knowledge, and a deep love of God that shined through him. He shined so bright yet was so humble and human."
Van Der Beek went on to marry Kimberly in 2010, and they had six children. McComb urged followers to donate to a GoFundMe page for his family, which has since raised $3.9 million.
