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.
