James Van Der Beek revealed on the show Dancing with the Stars that his wife Kimberly Brook has suffered a miscarriage during the weekend. He was grief-stricken and conveyed to his fans that it was his wife who encouraged him not to miss the show.

James Van Der Beek and wife Kimberly were expecting their sixth baby together. Van Der Beek got quite emotional during the show- Dancing with the stars, semi-final episode, and somberly paid tribute to the departed soul. "My wife Kimberly and I went through every expecting parent’s worst nightmare. We lost the baby, the little soul that we had expected to welcome into our family took a shortcut to whatever lies beyond," said Van Der Beek in his video package.

He further revealed how this incident has affected his other children and how he interacted with them throughout. He recalls explaining to them that one cannot predict such instances and that it inevitably brings everyone closer. “It makes you more human," indicated the actor. After going through such devastation, James had made up his mind to skip the dance show on Monday evening. However, he performed and dedicated the performance to wife Kimberly, who also pushed him to participate. He announced, "Kimberly, I love you, I’m dancing for you, I’m dancing for us, so here we go, babe.”.

His performance with pro partner, Emma Slater, was mesmerizing on the touching Foxtrot to Hozier’s “Take Me to Church.” After the performance, the mourning father couldn't control his tears and burst down sobbing while Slater embraced him on the ballroom floor. While the judges awarded them a 27, Van Der Beek was all praises for his wife and her charisma. He shouted out to his wife, saying, "Kimberly, I love you. Thank you for pushing me out on that dance floor, thank you for everything you do. I don’t know how you do it. Five kids. You’re amazing.”

The actor also shared the news on Instagram, where he expressed the couple's devastating mood and the saddening dispersal of their baby, who would have joined them in April. The miscarriage was also life-threatening for Kimberly. “We’ve been through this before, but never this late in the pregnancy, and never accompanied by such a scary, horrific threat to @vanderkimberly and her well-being," wrote James. He also mentioned all the family and friends who stood by them during this time and thanked them to the core.
