James once called his sister \u2018the perfect woman\u2019, but their relationship is far from perfect<\/p>\n

Their close relationship caused a stir back in 2000, when they famously kissed on the lips at the Academy Awards, but sources say Angelina Jolie, 49, and brother James Haven, 51, have drifted apart over recent years. And a source says his recent marriage to reality star Romi Imbelli didn\u2019t help relations.<\/p>\n
\u2018Angelina\u00a0and James used to be so close, they were inseparable growing up,\u2019 says a source. \u2018They got a lot of backlash after that famous kiss at the Oscars, but it didn\u2019t faze Angie one little bit. They kept their bond going for many years after and they weren\u2019t just brother and sister. They were best friends and near enough soul mates.<\/p>\n
\u2018But in recent years, they\u2019ve drifted apart a bit. Angelina has been content to be more of a loner, while James has had his romantic ups and downs. He\u2019s also kept a very low-profile Hollywood-wise, while Angelina\u2019s kids are her full-time focus, as well as her support system.\u2019<\/p>\n
Both Angelina and James are certainly no strangers to high profile marriage splits. While Angelina\u2019s protracted divorce from Brad Pitt rumbled on for eight years, James had a shock split from wife Romi Imbelli earlier this year. He wed The Real L Word star just seven months ago, in Laguna Beach California.<\/p>\n

\u2018After careful consideration, I have decided to move forward with the annulment of my marriage to James Haven,\u2019 Romi told People in a statement. \u2018As reflected in public record, the reason cited remains fraud.This has been a deeply personal and difficult decision, but one that I feel is necessary for my own well-being. I appreciate the support of those who have stood by me, and at this time, I am focused on moving forward with clarity and peace.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m finding healing through this process by putting my truth into words in my upcoming memoir, where I will share more about this chapter of my life and the journey that led me here.\u2019<\/p>\n
Romi and James married last August in an intimate ceremony, which followed a 23 year friendship between the pair. But Angelina who is mum to Maddox, 23, Zahara, 20, Pax, 21, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16, was reportedly unable to attend the nuptials. And a source says that she feared her brother was making the wrong decision.
\u2018Angelina\u00a0isn\u2019t close to James the way she used to be, but they are still in touch and still see each other,\u2019 says a source. \u2018She would have absolutely gone to his wedding, but she couldn\u2019t help worrying he was making a mistake. Understandably, he didn\u2019t take that well, he had really hoped for her support.\u2019 <\/p>\n
James famously once revealed how protective Angelina, who he called the \u2018perfect woman\u2019 is of him. \u2018She wants me to be with the right woman. When you come from a divorced home, divorce is what you desperately want to avoid,\u2019 he told the Daily Mail. \u2018Any woman has to go through two filters, me and then my sister.\u2019<\/p>\n
But while Angelina may not have been at the wedding, her father Jon Voight, 86, was there to celebrate with the newlyweds. However, the notoriously right-wing actor has had a famously fractious relationship with his daughter.<\/p>\n

Angelina is no stranger to a high profile divorce<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Last August, it was reported the pair were not on good terms after he spoke out about her divorce from Brad, saying, \u2018The kids need some stability.\u2019 And just weeks before the wedding, he publicly criticised Angelina, who is a UN ambassador, for supporting Palestine. \u2018She\u2019s been influenced by antisemitic people,\u2019 he claimed. \u2018Angie has a connection to the UN, and she\u2019s enjoyed speaking out for refugees. But these people are not refugees.\u2019<\/p>\n
Now a source says that Jon and Angelina\u2019s political differences haven\u2019t helped family relations. \u2018James is still very close to his dad,\u2019 says a source. \u2018Of course, Jon has polar opposite views to his daughter on politics, so that hasn\u2019t helped their communication. They\u2019ll all talk from time to time, but neither Jon nor James get to see Angie anything like as much as they\u2019d like to. Her kids are her full time focus now.\u2019 \u00a0<\/p>\n
While James has been navigating his own marriage split, Angelina has of course been dealing with her own messy divorce from Brad Pitt. The showbiz power couple met while filming spy thriller Mr and Mrs Smith in 2004 and finally wed in 2014, but in 2016 Angelina filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences.\u201d They have since been locked in a high stakes war over custody, finances and even their prized Ch\u00e2teau Miraval winery. It wasn\u2019t until last December that they finally reached a settlement, with Angelina\u2019s lawyer saying she was \u2018exhausted,\u2019 but \u2018relieved.\u2019<\/p>\n
In the immediate aftermath of the split, James reportedly stepped in to play \u2018manny\u2019 to Brad and Angelina\u2019s six children, at their temporary home in Malibu. And in 2024, he made a rare public comment about supporting Angelina and her children. \u2018I set my life up so I can be present with whatever the situation,\u2019 he said. \u2018The formative years, the young adults they’re going to become, I want to be there for them \u2014 or for her \u2014 whatever she’s going through.’<\/p>\n
Now, a source says he is hoping his sister will be there to support him in his own hour of need. \u2018Since James\u2019 marriage broke down, he\u2019s been calling Angelina for support, and asking to spend more time with her,\u2019 says an insider. \u2018He\u2019s very upset right now, it\u2019s been a traumatic time for him and, much like Angelina, he doesn\u2019t have a whole lot of trusted people to lean on. But Angie feared this would happen, and she\u2019s hoping he\u2019ll learn from his mistake.\u2019 \u00a0<\/p>\n
