Finally, in his safe Haven

Angelina Jolie’s brother James confirms he is gay 

Award-winning actress Angelina Jolie’s brother James Haven has come out as gay and said that he is “now free” in an emotional message about embracing his identity after “years of healing from childhood trauma.”   

In a post shared on his former wife-turned-best friend, Romi Imbelli’s Instagram account on Thursday, James shared a collage of pictures first and then a video. 

He said in the clip, It’s been a minute since you probably heard from me. Today is August 6th, 2026. And I, James Haven, begin a new chapter in my life. After many years of healing from childhood trauma, I am now free to live the life that I believe I was always meant to live. One of hope, one of peace, and one of love.”

He added, “So as my story unfolds, I want you all to know that I do it with an open heart, with nothing but love for myself and for all of you. And so thank you for reading my statement, and thank you for allowing me to be what I was meant to be. That’s it. Thank you. Much love.”
