Angelina Jolie is a true A-list actress in every sense of the word.
But as one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, her private life is also a tabloid staple.
Here’s everything we know about Angelina Jolie’s relationship with James Haven.
For Jolie, it wasn’t long before she made a big splash on screen.
In 1998, a then-22-year-old Jolie starred in the HBO television film “Gia.”
Though it was a breakthrough role for her, Haven also had his time on screen.
Luckily for him, he was given a small role in the same film as his younger sister.
Outside of acting, Jolie and Haven share a love for humanitarian work.
The two have used their platform and devoted their time to causes worldwide.
For Haven, his involvement in causes like environmental and animal rights comes from his little sister.
“Angie was the catalyst.
Haven also believes that their empathy for those in need comes from the rocky childhood that they experienced.
He explained how his father’s mistreatment of his mother made him sensitive to other abandoned women and children.
However, it was the complete opposite for Angelina Jolie and James Haven.
The two even dropped the Voight name.
In a 2007 interview withDaily Mail, Haven didn’t bite his tongue.
He spoke in depth about how their estranged relationship with their father left emotional scars.
He recalled he and his sister often begging their famous father to pay child support.
In 2011, Voight mended his relationship with his kids.
“I suddenly saw things differently, and everything shifted.
That one moment changed my whole life,“he told Daily Mail.
Jolie was up for Best Supporting Actress for her dramatic role in “Girl Interrupted.”
“I’m in shock, and I’m so in love with my brother right now.
“Jamie, I have nothing without you.
You are the bravest, strongest man I’ve ever known.
I love you so much.”
However, the beautiful and heartfelt speech wasn’t the biggest talk of the night.
It was what occurred between Jolie and Haven on the red carpet.
As the two siblings walked the red carpet, theyshared a kiss on the lips.
To say the rest of the world was shocked by the lip lock would be an understatement.
The kiss and acceptance speech even seemed to overshadow Jolie’s big win.
The actor confronted the talk show host about some of the incest jokes he made about her.
“When somebody says stuff about your family, it’s just not okay.
“I highlighted the two that she really appreciated it made her sick.”
“First, we’re the best of friends.
And it wasn’t some odd open-mouthed kiss.
By 2007, Haven had enough of the questions surrounding the kiss.
“[It was] so long ago!
Can we yo move forward?
In an interview with Daily Mail, Haven revealed that the painful loss of their mother rattled the two.
“When I first lost my mother, I couldn’t stop crying.
Fortunately, I was with Angie when we heard.
It was such a big moment,” he recounted.
The grieving process wasn’t easy for both siblings, especially Jolie, who was under the spotlight.
“Angie has become very thin because she’s grieving,” Haven admitted that year.
“It’s even difficult for her to eat.
She has not wanted to eat, nor has she been able to.”
Haven admitted that it helped them connect to children in need.
“If Angelina understood something about missing parents before, she understands completely now.
Angelina and I are orphans, too, in a way.
When you see those kids in orphanages, they cling to each other,” he explained.
“I’ve always been tough on anyone he’s dated.
I’ve been the nightmare for any girl.
But if I like her, I’m fantastic,” she admitted to People.
“She wants me to be with the right woman.
“Maybe I haven’t found the right woman because my sister is too picky for me.
Any woman has to go through two filters, me and then my sister,” he said.
“I trust her opinion.
In 2007, Haven expressed high hopes for her relationship with Brad Pitt.
In 2007, Haven explained that Shiloh was a middle name his parents almost gave him.
Would it be okay?'
I was almost in tears,” said Haven in an interview with Express.
“I can see Brad in little Shiloh, my sister, too.
Much like her uncle,Shiloh lives a life under the radardespite her high-profile parents.
Jolie picking that name further displayed the sibling bond between her and her brother something he deeply appreciated.
“It’s an honor beyond any honor I’ve received in my life,” said Haven.
He was reportedly just one of the six nannies Jolie hired.
Haven made frequent trips with the children to Cambodia, where Jolie was shooting a film at the time.
According to the outlet, Haven was a rock for Jolie during the tough period.
It was an easy adjustment for the children who were used to having Haven around.
Months before news of the divorce,OK!
Magazinereported that the kids allegedly spent more time with Haven than with their own father.
“He leaves for the set before they wake and comes home after they’ve gone to bed.”
“But he’s done.
Haven’s schedule as the nanny was grueling, and he was reportedly working around the clock.
He was virtually running the household, and it became very draining,” the insider added.
He told co-host Jessica Entner that he’s still a protective big brother.
“I think it’s natural.
That’s where it all started.
It started with the protection of her and her children, my nieces and nephews,” he revealed.
The divorce drama is not over yet for Jolie and Brad Pitt.
The two have yet to come to a custody agreement regarding their three youngest children.
However, Jolie still has her big brother in her corner.
