At the same time, he worked on popular TV shows such as Shameless, ER, Suits, and Longmire. However, despite his long acting career, Scott has mostly avoided the spotlight more than other Hollywood stars. According to some reports, he and Heather were close friends and eventually fell in love. In her words:
“Yesterday, Scott Michael Campbell and I, under the covenant of God, got officially married by my beautiful sister Essence Atkins, surrounded by the people we love most in the world, in our most favorite city, Missoula Montana. Our hearts are full and humbled by all of the love that we were surrounded by. God is so good.”

Why did Heather McComb separate from James Van Der Beek?
Heather McComb’s wedding can come more into focus, as it comes three months after her former husband, James Van Der Beek, died in February 2026 due to colorectal cancer. Heather married James in 2003. In fact, the couple had been together for nearly 6 years before they decided to separate. Eventually, the actor filed for divorce in 2009 due to irreconcilable differences. Despite the end of their marriage, the duo reportedly maintained a respectful bond and an amicable bond.
They did not mention any specific cause behind their separation. In fact, the divorce was also handled privately through mediation rather than a long public court battle. But they did not have any children and always spoke positively about each other. Even after James’ death, Heather penned an emotional post and expressed her sympathy for his wife and kids.
