The bond between Angelina Jolie and her brother James Haven has frequently made headlines, especially their passionate display of affection at the Academy Awards and the strong connection that Jolie always prioritized above even her most intense romantic relationships. It’s no surprise that her older brother was a constant presence in her life. This was true during her marriage to Brad Pitt as well: insiders reveal that James was a regular guest at their home, sometimes staying for extended periods, even months.
Over time, the constant presence of a third party in their relationship began to frustrate Brad Pitt. This was partly due to James increasingly assuming a dominant role within the family, gaining respect and influence, particularly with the couple’s children.
Sources close to the couple revealed that the younger children even began referring to James as “dad.” The tension intensified after Brad’s long absences for work, with him returning from filming and feeling alienated from his family as James became more central to their lives.
