However, back in 2000, Jolie attracted the media’s attention when she publicly planted a kiss on the lips of her beloved brother, James Haven. Shortly after the public display of affection, news outlets discovered that Jolie and Haven had shared a close bond since they were children, braving the onslaught of their father’s rage side-by-side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Haven has opened up about their dad,\u00a0Jon Voight<\/a>, saying he always had a temper and would often focus more on his kids’ faults rather than their strengths. Jolie and Haven’s parents split in 1976, which led the siblings to form a strong bond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n James Haven and Angelina Jolie spotted in Los Angeles on March 25, 2000. | Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Haven recalled that he and Jolie stood up to his father and became protective of their mother. After years of having a\u00a0bad relationship<\/a>\u00a0with his dad, Haven had few good memories of the man.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Jaime Haven Voight, Angelina Jolie, and Jon Voight file photo, dated January 1, 1980 | Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n He said Voight had always been a difficult man, and the years of bearing the brunt of his ill temper left him with a terrible opinion of his dad. Luckily, Haven and Jolie had each other throughout the difficulty and remained close as adults.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n James Haven and Angelina Jolie at the after-party for the premiere of “Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life” in Los Angeles, California on July 21, 2003. | Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The kiss that turned numerous heads happened when Jolie\u00a0won the Oscar<\/a>\u00a0for her role in “Girl, Interrupted.” The actress planted a big kiss on Haven’s lips as her name was called.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In her speech, she\u00a0said,<\/a>\u00a0“I am just\u00a0<\/i>so in love with my brother! He just held me and said he loved me \u2026 Jamie, you’re just \u2026 I have nothing without you.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Angelina Jolie kisses James Haven during 57th Annual Golden Globe Awards – Press Room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, California on January 23, 2000. | Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Ever since they were kids, Haven and Jolie have been each other’s primary sources of support. With only two years separating them, they’ve had each other’s backs ever since their parents divorced when Jolie was two years old. Haven also noted that his sister may have influenced his personal life,\u00a0commenting<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “Maybe I haven’t found the right woman because my sister is too picky for me.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Angelina Jolie and James Haven at the 56th Annual Golden Globe Awards – red carpet on January 24, 1999 | Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Marcheline Bertrand, mother to Jolie and her brother, sadly passed away in 2007 after a long\u00a0battle with ovarian cancer<\/a>. It was reported that Jolie and Haven stuck together while their beloved mother battled against the debilitating illness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Jolie had been incredibly close with her mother throughout her life and sorely missed Bertrand at her wedding. Nonetheless,\u00a0the actress<\/a>\u00a0and Haven honored the late Bertrand by wearing some of her jewelry to the ceremony.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Angelina Jolie and James Haven in 2004. | Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Jolie chose a flower ring from her mother’s jewelry box, while Haven wore an angel pin on his lapel.

The “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” star referred to her late mother as one of her closest friends,\u00a0noting<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “[She was] the most compassionate woman I know. There are no words to express what an amazing woman and mother she was. She was our best friend.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Marcheline Bertrand and Angelina Jolie at LAX on August 4, 1998. | Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Although Jolie and Haven were still close after their mother passed away, their relationship started to decline after Haven began working as Jolie and Pitt’s\u00a0full-time nanny<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n When Jolie and Pitt entered negotiations in the early days of their divorce and custody battle, Haven reportedly stepped in and acted as a caretaker for the Jolie-Pitt children. He used to babysit for Pitt and Jolie whenever they felt overwhelmed or needed a night to themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Angelina Jolie and James Haven on October 24, 2005 in New York City. | Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Haven kept the kids busy, often taking them out and spending time with them. He was seen with the Jolie-Pitt kids numerous times, once taking them out for fresh air in a\u00a0local park<\/a>. A source close to the family noted that Haven got along great with the children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n After a year of looking after the children, Haven was reportedly quietly let go from his\u00a0nanny role<\/a>. Little is known about why, but numerous sources have suggested that Jolie and Haven drifted apart over the years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Haven hasn’t been seen with his sister since being dismissed as her nanny in 2017. The actress allegedly stopped talking to him out of the blue. Both siblings have refused to elaborate on the real reason behind their sudden iciness, and sources close to them also seemed baffled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n James Haven at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California on February 11, 2002 | Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Haven reportedly found his way back to Christianity in 2009. Reports emerged that he became part of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. Some sources even suggested he was training to become a youth minister in 2012.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Haven’s\u00a0return to his faith<\/a>\u00a0allegedly inspired him to mend his relationship with his dad. The\u00a0actor<\/a>\u00a0landed a role in the 2024 film “Court of Conscience,” co-starring his father and Anton Yelchin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n James Haven nd Jon Voight at the 9th installment of “Kat Kramer’s Films That Change The World” on June 3, 2017, in Los Angeles, California. | Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"James](\"https:\/\/imgproxy.amomama.com\/XddafUeso-NEQK9e2l1O5jYc6zaExmlAtVN8hvXRrkw\/rs:fill:375:0:1\/g:no\/aHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4uYW1vbWFtYS5jb20vNTFkMjAxNTQ2ZWYyYTY1NjBjOTdlYjY3YzZjMjQ2OGY1MWJhNzE5MzBmMmRjOTg2YWQ3MTc0MGNiODc3YjgzMS5qcGc_d2lkdGg9MzEwMCZoZWlnaHQ9MzAzOA.jpg)
