Angelina Jolie and her ex-husband Brad Pitt share six kids: twins Knox and Vivienne, Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, and Maddox. The actress is a dedicated mother to her children, despite having split with Pitt.
When Jolie and Pitt were still married, the actress’s brother, James Haven, helped take care of their six kids. Haven helped raise Jolie’s kids and would babysit whenever the actress and Pitt wanted time to themselves.
Jolie and her brother were very close. The siblings are the only children of Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. Jolie and Haven, who look like their mom, shared a close relationship for many years until it started to seem like there was a rift that had formed between them.
According to Haven, they were both raised by a strong woman who was very loving. The two also had a normal upbringing without the craziness of celebrity life. Besides his modest life, Haven was a loner who didn’t strive for the celebrity life.

Haven has kept a quiet profile in Los Angeles, unlike his sister. He is an actor, director, and producer. His first role was in “Gia” alongside Jolie, while his last role to date was in 2014’s “Easy Silence.”
