The Dawson's Creek star and his wife Kimberly welcomed their second child, a boy, on Tuesday, the actor announced via Twitter.

Van Der Beek revealed:

    “Had my first son this morning… well, actually, my wife had him. I just caught him. Wow. Heart expanding way faster than my brain.”


The proud papa later added, “If you could bottle up and distribute this feeling, I swear there’d be no more war. #fatherhood”

The couple was married in August 2010, and also have a 17-month-old daughter, Olivia.

Congrats!
