The Hollywood star buried her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, in 2007. She has had a strained relationship with her father, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, for many years. Angelina’s only close relative is her 51-year-old brother. She used to be very close to James Haven, and they starred together in films such as Gia, Hell’s Kitchen, and Original Sin. The actor emotionally supported his famous sister at the 2000 Oscars, when Jolie won the coveted statue for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Girl, Interrupted.
However, recently a rift has appeared between the brother and sister. In August, Angelina did not attend James’s wedding in Laguna Beach. The actor, known for his role in Monster’s Ball, married his long-time acquaintance, Romi Imbelli. The 43-year-old actress is known for her role in a TV series and for participating in several reality shows. Jolie initially opposed the marriage.
“Angie was sure that her brother was making a huge mistake and begged him to wait. James took this badly. He accused her of not supporting him and not wanting him to be happy. As a result, things between them got worse,” an insider revealed.
The marriage ultimately ended after just seven months. The initiator of the breakup was the blogger. Imbelli accused Haven of fraud and said that she decided to divorce for her own well-being. Jolie was not surprised by the turn of events. However, James feels that his sister shows him no sympathy during his difficult divorce. “Now what she predicted has happened, and she’s acting very arrogantly, which is cruel, considering that James is at rock bottom,” the source noted.
What bothers Angelina the most is that Romi is trying to profit from her connection to the famous family. The reality star has already announced plans to release memoirs about her relationship with the member of the famous Hollywood acting dynasty. The Maleficent actress believes her brother is to blame for the situation and owes him nothing. “Before James got married, they still communicated and occasionally saw each other. Now they are not as close as they used to be. James’s heart is broken, and he needs support, but Angelina only feels sorry that he ever married that woman.”
Furthermore, Angelina believes James was involved in her split from Brad Pitt. Haven initially had a negative view of the Fight Club actor, and their relationship became increasingly strained. “Angie blames her brother for her breakup with Brad Pitt, and this only increases the likelihood that she will never mend her relationship with James. She believes he never supported her during her marriage to the star and thinks that because of their close bond, Brad ultimately decided to leave,” the insider added.
