James Van Der Beek and his wife Kimberly have welcomed their fifth child together, a little girl named Gwendolyn.
Gwendolyn was born on Friday (June 15) at their home with a doctor and midwife on hand, People reports.
“Every child awakens a different energy in you… and this one has been bringing up the truth ever since we found out she was on her way,” James said in a statement. “I’ve been in bliss these last few days, but I’ve also been feeling the pain of parents who have been separated from their kids, and the terror those poor kids must be in right now. I live an incredibly privileged life… and the last thing I want would be to politicize a birth… but this is human rights abuse. It just didn’t seem right to bask in my privilege and blessings and not bring attention to it.”
James and Kimberly are also parents to Emilia, 2, Annabel Leah, 4, Joshua, 6, and Olivia, 7.
