Angelina Jolie’s brother, James Haven, has reshaped his life to offer steadfast support and protection to her children following her high-profile split from Brad Pitt. The couple, who parted ways in 2016, share six children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and 15-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
In a conversation with ‘90who10‘ podcast co-host Jessica Entner, Haven opened up about his decision to be a reliable presence for his nieces and nephews during this turbulent period. Emphasizing the importance of being there for Angelina and her kids, he said, “That’s where it all started, it started with the protection of her and her children — my nieces and nephews. I set my life up so I can be present with whatever the situation.”
The 52-year-old actor highlighted the significance of providing support and guidance to the children, who are now entering their formative young adult years. Haven expressed his natural inclination to be available for them whenever needed.
Angelina, 48, recently spoke about the constraints she faced in her post-divorce life and her desire to move to Asia once her legal battles with Brad are resolved. She shared her experiences with WSJ. Magazine, reflecting on the need for authenticity away from Hollywood and the healing process for herself and her children after the public breakup.
Looking forward, Angelina aspires to find authenticity and spend more time at her home in Cambodia, alongside her children, who she describes as her closest friends and sources of strength.
