Speaking with Daily Mail in 2007, James Haven revealed just how difficult his father was, recalling that "alimony was always an issue" and that, when he was 13 and Angelina Jolie was 11, they were tasked with confronting him about money. "There were times when our dad was awesomely good with us, but my biggest and most abiding memory is that he would look more to our faults than to our strengths," Haven shared.
So when they lost their mother, Marcheline Bertrand, to cancer in 2007, their bond only strengthened. "I couldn't stop crying," Haven recalled. "Fortunately, I was with Angie when we heard." Noting that "Angelina and I are orphans too, in a way," he explained, "When you see those kids in orphanages, they cling to each other. And that's exactly what they have — they have each other." Proudly adding that Jolie has "always been very protective of me with regards to my romantic life, which I love," he revealed, "I go to Angie for advice and won't do anything without her because we were so close as children."
Haven and Jolie became so close, in fact, that the actor tattooed the letter 'H' on her wrist in honor of her brother. When she married Brad Pitt in 2014, she and Haven shared a sweet secret: a tribute to their mom. "I also wore a little flower ring that was hers, and Jamie wore an angel pin from her jewelry box," Jolie told People.
