AceShowbiz - Heather McComb has married Scott Michael Campbell, tying the knot on May 30, 2026. The actress celebrated the milestone in a heartfelt ceremony that reflected her close connections and personal journey.
The wedding came just months after the passing of McComb’s former husband, James Van Der Beek, who died in February 2026 after a battle with colorectal cancer. Van Der Beek was aware of McComb’s plans to remarry and had expressed his support for her and Campbell before his death. The couple’s shared history and enduring friendship lent a poignant backdrop to the event.
Following the ceremony, McComb shared on her Instagram that she felt the presence of her late loved ones throughout the day. She described symbolic moments including a double rainbow, ladybugs, and two white doves as signs of their spiritual attendance. McComb also reflected warmly on the relationship between Van Der Beek and his wife Kimberly, calling them true soulmates and acknowledging their encouragement leading up to the wedding.
James Van Der Beek is best known for his role as Dawson Leery in the television series Dawson's Creek, which aired from 1998 to 2003. His career spanned 37 credits, including appearances in films like Scary Movie and Three. Van Der Beek and McComb were married from 2003 until their divorce in 2010 but maintained a friendship that influenced the emotional resonance of McComb’s recent nuptials.
This marriage marks a meaningful new chapter for Heather McComb, coming at a time of both loss and renewal. Her ability to honor past relationships while embracing the future underscores the strength and depth of her personal life beyond her career.
