Huge congrats!

Dawson’s Creek star James Van Der Beek and his wife Kimberly are expecting their fifth child.

The couple are already parents to Olivia, 7; five-year-old Joshua; Annabel Leah,4, and almost-two-year-old Emilia.

And the actor enlisted their help when it came time to make the announcement on social media.

He shared a photo of the children reaching out to touch their mum’s baby bump on Friday, which he captioned:

“Thrilled beyond belief to announce that we are once again adding to our family.

“And I say ‘beyond belief’ because some people are probably wondering if we’re out of our minds.

“Which we might very well be… but I couldn’t be more excited. Or grateful. Or in awe of @vanderkimberly.”

It comes as the actor recently took to the social media platform to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Dawson’s Creek.

He posted a throwback photo of the main cast – which included Joshua Jackson, Michelle Williams and Katie Holmes – that he captioned:

“I’d known these people all of 7 days when this pic was taken.

“The little pilot we shot in that small town for that fledgling network aired, changed our lives and launched our careers.

“This one will always have a special little place in my heart.”
