Heather McComb has married fellow actor Scott Michael Campbell in a small ceremony in Missoula, Montana, three months after the death of her former husband, Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek, from stage three colorectal cancer at the age of 48.

McComb and Van Der Beek married in 2003 and divorced in 2010, but both repeatedly described their split as amicable and stayed in one another's lives as friends. Van Der Beek went on to marry Kimberly Van Der Beek, with whom he had six children, and it was Kimberly who confirmed in February that the actor had 'passed peacefully' following his cancer diagnosis. McComb, who is 49, publicly mourned him at the time, calling herself 'heartbroken' at the loss.
