In the year 2000, Angelina Jolie garnered significant media attention by sharing a heartfelt kiss with her dear brother, James Haven. Following this touching moment of affection, it came to light that Jolie and Haven had nurtured a strong and enduring sibling bond since childhood, steadfastly supporting each other amidst the challenges posed by their father’s tumultuous temperament.

Angelina and James were close since childhood.

James and Angelina, born in 1973 and 1975 respectively, enjoyed a privileged upbringing within the Hollywood elite. They attended Beverly Hills High School, a renowned alma mater for celebrities during their teenage years. Later on, James offered insights and comments about his childhood and parents.

“I have no memory at all of my mother shouting at me or at my sister,” James explains. “But I do have horrible memories of my father and the way he behaved. He was so tough on our mother.” “I think one of the reasons Angelina and I care so much for other people is his treatment of our mother. Angelina and I were very protective of her for that reason.”

James fondly recalls the comforting routine of their mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who provided emotional stability amidst the glamour and chaos of their Hollywood lives. “There was very much that home feeling when we came back from school.”

However, their mother’s tragic loss to cancer at the age of 56 left an indelible void in their lives, profoundly affecting Angelina. He confides that eating had become a challenge for Angelina, and James constantly reminded her to nourish herself during that difficult time.

The controversy kiss

Since their early childhood, Haven and Jolie have consistently been each other’s main pillars of support. Despite a mere two-year age gap, they have steadfastly stood by each other, especially since their parents’ separation.

James claimed that he was a natural perfectionist and being so intimately connected to Angie made him feel like he had already found the ideal woman.

Her profound impact on him extends to the point where he’s contemplated adopting a child, provided he finds a suitable partner. Angelina has even steered him towards a change in career direction, motivating him to devote a significant portion of his time to charitable causes. Currently, he’s gearing up to participate in a major U.S. campaign aimed at combatting the AIDS pandemic in Uganda.

James vehemently denies any impropriety in their relationship, despite the controversy surrounding ’that’ kiss following the 2000 Oscars. “I did not give Angie a French kiss, it was something simple and lovely.”

The Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt relationship famously concluded in a highly publicized manner. Throughout this turbulent period, Jolie’s brother, James Haven, remained a steadfast source of support. In fact, he even assumed the role of a caregiver for her children during their time in Malibu, California. According to Us Weekly, Haven became more actively involved, earning him the affectionate nickname of “Uncle James” from the kids.

However, the exact reasons behind the apparent estrangement between Angelina Jolie and her brother, James Haven, remain undisclosed to the public. Notably, there have been no recent sightings of the two together, marking a departure from their previously close and inseparable bond.

In January 2021, a source shared insights, suggesting that their growing apart may simply be a natural progression. The source indicated that the siblings had drifted apart several years ago, with Haven once being their go-to choice for babysitting whenever needed.

The underlying tensions between Angelina Jolie and James Haven might have originated during Haven’s stint as a nanny for Jolie’s children with Brad Pitt. Allegedly, Jolie exceeded certain boundaries in their professional relationship.

The insider disclosed, “Angelina puts James through hell when he can’t keep the kids quiet while she’s trying to work, and has him making her coffees and going out to buy her groceries like he’s some kind of assistant.”

It appears that during this period, a suitable compromise was elusive for the siblings, eventually leading them to pursue separate paths.

Sibling relationships can be complex, marked by disagreements and challenges. It’s essential to acknowledge that they’re not always smooth, but rather, they can be filled with ups and downs. However, it’s equally vital to remember that investing in self-improvement and open communication can pave the way to a more harmonious and fulfilling connection with our siblings.
