James Van Der Beek chokes up discussing his wife's support after cancer diagnosis
James Van Der Beek is leaning on his family's support amid his battle with cancer.
The "Dawson's Creek" star, 47, got choked up in a "Good Morning America" interview Tuesday while discussing how his wife has been by his side since he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer last year.
"She's been amazing," he said.
"She's really telling me what unconditional love is, and I'm someone who has always in the past tried to do everything for everybody and never asked for help myself, and this has put me in a position of having to ask for help and having to receive help.
"The beautiful blessing of that has been seeing how many people in my life have shown up."
Van Der Beek and his wife, Kimberly Brook, have been married since 2010, and they share six children.
