James Haven, the brother of actress Angelina Jolie, publicly came out as gay after his brief marriage to Romi Imbelli ended just 15 days after their wedding in August 2024. During a live-streamed conversation with his ex-wife, who remains his close friend, Haven shared that he had known since March 2025, after their divorce was finalized, that he was homosexual. He described growing up fascinated by Disney princesses but struggled to understand his identity until recently.
