Actor James Van Der Beek, best known for his role in Dawson's Creek, revealed in late 2024 that he had been diagnosed with stage three colorectal cancer. In public appearances since, he has spoken candidly about the toll of the illness and the unwavering support of his wife, Kimberly.
'She's really taught me what unconditional love is,' James said on Good Morning America, adding, '[Cancer] has put me in a position of having to ask for help [and] having to receive help. The beautiful blessing of that has been seeing how many people in my life have shown up.'
