"My wife, Kimberly, and I went through every expecting parent's worst nightmare. We lost the baby," an emotional Van Der Beek said on Monday's show ahead of his second dance. The Van Der Beeks were expecting their sixth child together. "It breaks you open," he said of the loss. "It opens up your heart, it deepens your appreciation. It makes you more human. I really didn't think I would be dancing tonight, but Kimberly from her hospital bed said to me, 'I am not done watching you dance.' Kimberly, I love you." Van Der Beek then proceeded to dance to Hozier's "Take Me to Church." "That song has taken on a whole new meaning for me this week," he said. "Kimberly, I'm dancing for you, I'm dancing for us, so here we go, babe."
