Van Der Beek's Family Finds New Life After Tragedy
13 Feb
Summary
- Van Der Beek's family relocated to a Texas ranch after his passing.
- A GoFundMe has raised over $2 million for his widow and six children.
- The family sought a more nature-focused, community-oriented lifestyle.

James Van Der Beek's family is finding solace and a new beginning on a ranch in Spicewood, Texas, following the actor's passing. The move to the expansive 36-acre property came after a series of personal challenges, including the loss of James' mother and two miscarriages experienced by his wife, Kim. This prompted the family to leave behind their former life in Beverly Hills, California.
The family's new Texas ranch offers significant space for their six children, featuring five bedrooms and three bathrooms, along with a commercial kitchen and balconies overlooking the Pedernales River. Kim Van Der Beek has expressed gratitude for their "magical" landlords, who allow them to actively steward the land. The GoFundMe page set up to assist the family with living expenses has surpassed $2 million in donations, indicating strong community support.
