“Humbled and overjoyed to announce the safe, happy arrival of Jeremiah Van Der Beek ❤️ (We’ve been calling him Remi, btw - not “dinosaur” 🥰),” James captioned a sentimental carousel of photos and videos.
He also opened up in the post about why he and Kimberly didn’t publicly share the pregnancy news. “After experiencing late-term#pregnancylosstwice in a row (both at 17+ weeks), we kept this one quiet,” he wrote. “Truthfully, I was terrified when I found out.”

“Each child brings their own energy, their own manifestation of consciousness, their own lessons. The ones we lost each gifted us with different pieces of the puzzle… leaving us that much more grateful for the ongoing master class we get to enjoy with this sweet, wise little one,” James added, going on to thank “everyone in our community” for their support and honoring of their privacy.
“Life is beautiful ❤️,” James concluded the post.

In April, theDawson’s Creekalum shared a series ofInstagramphotos holding Jeremiah while watching the sunset. Alongside the sweet snaps, he expressed gratitude about having the newest addition to his family after he and his wife initially decided they didn’t want to have any more children.
“Thank god for the surprises. For the detours. For those times the universe heard my plans and said: ‘Yeah, that’s cute… try THIS,’ " the proud father of six wrote. “We weren’t trying for more kids. We were done. But fortunately, this chunky little angel knew better.”
“And when I hold him, I’m reminded of the benevolent forces out there likely laughing at my agenda and waiting for me to toss my ‘clarity’ for an upgraded reality,” he added. “Thank god for surprises… and thank god we SUCK at not getting pregnant. 😍.”
