It looks like Guiding Light alum James Van Der Beek has his own cheering squad at home! The new season for Dancing With The Stars hasn’t even started yet but that hasn’t stopped James’ adorable kids from cheering their father on the small screen. Here’s what you need to know.
Dancing With The Stars’ New Cast!
After it was announced that James would be joining the cast of Dancing With The Stars Season 28, his family couldn’t help but jump for joy and excitement as they will get to see their daddy compete for the coveted mirror ball.
The Van Der Beek Squad Is Ready
James and his wife Kimberly Van Der Beek share five kids together: Olivia, 8, Joshua, 7, Annabel 5, Emilia 3, and Gwendolyn, 14 months. Kimberly shared a cute clip of the kids chanting, “Daddy, daddy, daddy!” as they watched their father appear on Good Morning America.
James must have seen the clip because he posted an Instagram story of him expressing just how much he misses his family back at home. “All I can think about is I miss my kids, which is a good thing!” he shared, while also captioning the shot, “Been away from my kids for literally 11.5 hours.”
