Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie’s Daughter Vivienne Files to Drop Dad’s Last Name After 18th Birthday
James Haven is sharing his truth.
More than a year after sharing he and wife Romi Imbelli filed to annul their seven-month marriage, Angelina Jolie’s older brother came out as gay—with a little help from his now-ex.
“Today’s a new day,” Imbelli, 44, said during an Aug. 6 Substack livestream with Haven while discussing their new chapter as friends. “We get to be this and you get to be… What are you James?”
Jokingly asking “is this the cue,” Haven, 53, responded, “I’m gay.”
He also read a statement about his coming out journey, saying when he was younger, he “didn’t have the language back then to explain why” he felt different.
“It was never about pretending to be someone else,” he shared. “It was about letting a part of myself shine that had always been there.”
He continued, adding, “I hope my family and others can choose love over fear, understanding over judgment, and connection over the beliefs that may have kept us apart. I hope they can look beyond the labels and simply see me with the same heart, the same laugh, the same soul they’ve always known.”
