Angelina Jolie’s brother, James Haven, recently shared insights into his protective role for her children in the aftermath of her split from Brad Pitt.
During a conversation on the “90who10” podcast with co-host Jessica Entner, Haven discussed how he prioritized family amidst the public scrutiny of Jolie’s personal life. He acknowledged redirecting his life to ensure he could support her and her children.
“It all began with protecting her and her children — my nieces and nephews,” Haven stated, emphasizing his commitment to being present for their needs. He expressed his readiness to support them through any situation.
The 52-year-old actor highlighted the significance of being there for Jolie’s children during their crucial developmental years, as they transition into young adults in their early 20s.
“I want to be there any time,” Haven expressed, emphasizing his natural inclination to be a supportive presence in their lives whenever possible.
Jolie, 48, and Pitt, 60, share six children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15. Their divorce was announced in 2016 after 12 years together, generating public attention due to reports of an alleged altercation between Pitt and Jolie during a private jet trip with their children.
Reports claimed an incident where Pitt was accused of getting physical with their children. Pitt admitted to raising his voice but denied engaging in any physical altercations.
