James Van Der Beek Says He “Would Not Be Alive” Without Wife Kimberly Amid Cancer Battle


“Presence is really the gift that cancer has given me,” he added. “Before cancer, I took all these little beautiful moments as part of a collection. I was just aware of everything. Now, I’m able much more to just settle into that exact moment.”

Meanwhile, Kimberly has also shared her appreciation for James, reflecting on their deep bond as they celebrated his birthday in March.

“You are a treasure,” she wrote on Instagram. “I feel like the luckiest lady in the world to be married to you. May this year bring you so much laughter, dancing, deepening connection with God, exceptional health and exquisite beauty all around—plus, of course—family snuggles, sunrises, sunsets, play and restorative rest.”
