Hey there, friends! Let's talk about something real and raw. You know how life can sometimes throw unexpected curveballs? That's exactly what happened to James Van Der Beek and his wife Kimberly in late 2019 when they suffered the heartbreaking loss of a miscarriage. Since then, this incredible couple has been incredibly open about their journey, and Kimberly recently shared some powerful words about her body and how it’s changed since that tragic time.
Kimberly, who’s 42 years young, opened up on Instagram last January 9th. She posted a selfie and got real about the transformations her body has gone through. In her post, she mentioned, “Eccentric artists take selfies, right? With all the health effects from everything my body has been through in the past few months, and the pregnancy (just to clarify for those sending congratulations, the pregnancy ended in November), I’m now 35 pounds heavier than what I usually consider heavy for myself.”
But here’s the kicker—Kimberly didn’t stop there. She continued, “Guess what?! Love all your shapes as you work towards your best health! And love yourself as you evolve into the person you want to become, because change is inevitable anyway. #2020yeartoshine #bethebreath #loveitall.” Her message was one of self-love, resilience, and embracing life’s ups and downs.

And let me tell you, folks, her message resonated. People flooded the comments section with supportive and heartfelt responses. One commenter wrote, “The real thing isn’t the weight but to feel good in your body and to be healthy. Just take good care of yourself. That’s what truly matters.” Another chimed in, “Your body’s looking after you. You look amazing.” It’s moments like these that remind us how powerful community and kindness can be.
James Opens Up About the Heartbreak
Back in November, during an episode of Dancing With the Stars, James, also 42, revealed the painful truth about the loss of their baby. He shared, “My wife Kimberly went through every expectant 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. You never know why these things happen. That’s what I’ve been telling my kids.”

Strength in Moving Forward
While the past few months have undoubtedly been tough for the Van Der Beek family, they’ve shown incredible strength in moving forward together. Kimberly even documented their RV Christmas trip, sharing how it helped her heal. She confessed, “Day two of our RV Christmas trip! Last week I could barely get out of bed. Today, grounding on the river bedrock, watching the kids play, having @vanderjames family visit our campsite, getting a nap in the back of our RV with Gwen, fed the soul so hard. Got the bliss I asked for.”
It’s clear that Kimberly and her family are finding ways to heal, one step at a time. Their story is a testament to resilience, love, and the power of community. Here’s to Kimberly and her family as they continue this journey of healing and growth!
