After ending his seven-month marriage to Romi Imbelli, Angelina Jolie’s older brother, James Haven, has come out as gay. While his revelation brought unexpected support from his ex-wife, it also became a blessing in disguise for the former actor, as it helped pave the way for a long-awaited reconciliation with his father, Jon Voight, with whom he has always shared a complicated dynamic.
In his first interview since publicly coming out as gay, the 53-year-old shared that his father repeatedly tried to reach him after Haven spent years waiting for a phone call.
