In the final year of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s marriage, a family addition stirred up tensions behind the scenes. James Haven, Jolie’s older brother, joined their household, taking on the role of primary caregiver for their six children.
According to sources from the Daily Mail, while James provided invaluable support to Angelina, his relationship with Brad was strained. Allegedly, this friction reached a point where Brad once insisted James fly economy class while the rest of the family traveled business class.
While these claims remain unconfirmed by insiders, rumors suggest that James’s presence contributed to the strain between Mr. and Mrs. Smith, ultimately leading to their divorce in September 2016.
Born in Los Angeles in 1973, James Haven shares parentage with Angelina as the son of actor Jon Voight and the late actress Marcheline Bertrand. Despite their familial ties, James and Angelina changed their last names due to their father’s actions, maintaining a separate identity.
In Hollywood, James pursued various roles in acting, directing, screenwriting, and producing. While he played minor roles in some of his sister’s films, he gained notoriety for an unconventional kiss with Angelina at the Oscars in 2000, sparking media speculation.
James has led a private life in recent years, making rare public appearances. In a candid interview on Jessica Entner’s podcast, he expressed his unwavering commitment to protecting his sister and her children, emphasizing his role as their guardian.
Despite the passage of time, James remains devoted to his family, cherishing moments spent with his niece and nephew, who have now grown into young adults.
