James Van Der Beek has been an entertainment staple since Dawson’s Creek premiered in 1998, making numerous appearances in TV and movies. As James celebrated his 46th birthday, he shared an adorable photo of himself with all of his kids. Like with Olivia, Kimberly wrote a similarly glowing birthday post for Joshua, where she complimented how outspoken and funny he is. James revealed that they hadn’t discussed what to name their second daughter before she was born in an episode of The Talk, via People. Gwendolyn apparently is a very big Miley Cyrus fan, as James revealed in a birthday post for his daughter.
