In a candid interview on the ’90who10′ podcast, Haven shared insights into the impact of the divorce on their family dynamics.
When asked about how he supported Jolie as her personal life played out in the public eye, Haven revealed that he made significant adjustments to his own life in order to prioritize the well-being of his sister and her children. He expressed his commitment to being present for them during challenging times and emphasized the importance of providing support during their formative years.
As Jolie’s children navigate their early adulthood, Haven stressed his natural inclination to be there for them, stating, ‘Anytime I’m blessed to be in their presence, I want to be in their presence.’
