James Haven, Angelina Jolie’s brother, has come out.

This announcement comes a relatively short time after he split from his wife.

Coming out at 53 can seem like a daunting prospect.

But, for Haven, it was time to live as himself. And his wife’s commentary may surprise you.

James Haven is coming out!

In August of 2024, Haven and his wife, The Real L Word star Romi Imbelli, separated.

They had only been married for 15 days.

In March 2025, they successfully had their marriage annulled.

During a recent livestream, Haven explained that he came out to Imbelli after their annulment.

It is important to note that the Thursday, August 6 livestream was with Imbelli. We’d say that she took it as well as expected.

Haven is gay.

“It was never about pretending to be someone else,” he explained, reflecting upon his childhood interests.

He added: “It was about letting a part of myself shine that had always been there.”

Haven went on to affirm that coming out “isn’t about becoming someone new.”

Instead, he emphasized that it is about “allowing everyone else to meet the person who has been here all along.”

He is anxious about how certain family will reaction

Not everyone comes from a family that they believe will love and accept them for being who they are.

Haven’s sister is Angelina Jolie, and she is obviously not the issue.

Their father is Jon Voight, who has become a notorious conservative and an outspoken supporter of the Trump regime over the past decade.

On Thursday, Haven expressed a hope that “family and others can choose love over fear, understanding over judgment, and connection over the beliefs that may have kept us apart.”

He aspired: “I hope they can look beyond the labels and simply see me with the same heart, the same laugh, the same soul they’ve always known.”

For her part, Imbelli was deeply supportive of her ex-husband.

“I didn’t want to see it. I didn’t want to believe” that he was gay, she explained.

“I knew it and I wanted to support you and love you,” Imbelli reasoned. “And then I didn’t want to believe it because then it would mean losing you in that capacity, which I couldn’t.”

On the stream, she affirmed that Haven will remain her “life partner” but not her spouse. “You are not my close friend. You are my love. And you happen to be gay.”

That’s actually really beautiful! It’s a good reminder that it’s never too late to come out. It can be a daunting prospect, but many aspects of your life will improve faster than you think.

We’ve known for a while that Jax Taylor is dating Lori Krebs, the former publicist and close friend of his ex-wife, Brittany Cartwright.

But we figured it was just a fling. This is Jax Taylor, after all.

Of course, falling in love with Lori and launching a serious relationship is pretty much the worst thing Jax could do in this situation, so naturally, that’s exactly what he did.

Speaking with paparazzi outside a Los Angeles gym this week, Taylor didn’t hesitate when asked about Krebs.

“I love [Krebs] to death. You can’t help who you fall in love with. Everybody deserves to find happiness,” he said (via Page Six).

The former Bravo star went on to gush about the relationship, saying:

“I’m in the happiest place I’ve ever been, and I couldn’t be happier right now. My mental health has been so amazing since I’ve been with her.”

Taylor also called Krebs “the best thing that’s ever happened” to him and said the two “love each other very, very much.”

The public declaration comes just weeks after Taylor confirmed he was “taken” without identifying his new partner following the publication of vacation photos showing the pair together in Puerto Vallarta.

Taylor’s comments arrive on the heels of a very public response from Cartwright, who has made it clear she feels deeply betrayed by both her estranged husband and her former friend.

During recent interviews, Cartwright described Krebs as someone who had been like family for years, saying the publicist helped her through some of the darkest moments of her marriage before beginning a relationship with Taylor.

She has since fired Krebs and didn’t hold back when discussing the situation publicly.

Taylor acknowledged that Cartwright has “every right” to be upset, but insisted “a lot of the stuff she’s saying is untrue.”

He also argued that many of the issues she’s raising stem from years ago, pointing to the extensive rehab and mental health treatment he’s undergone since the couple separated in 2024.

“I’ve gone through countless amounts of rehab [and] countless amounts of mental health facilities,” Taylor said, adding that he believes it’s unfair for old issues to continue defining him.

Questions about the timeline have fueled much of the controversy.

Taylor and Krebs first sparked speculation back in 2024 after appearing together in social media photos, though those rumors were denied at the time.

According to a source who spoke with Page Six, however, the romantic relationship didn’t begin until several months ago.

The insider said both Taylor and Krebs were single when they got together and that their relationship developed naturally while Krebs supported Taylor through his struggles with substance abuse and mental health.

“This is the first relationship he’s been in sober,” the source claimed, adding that Taylor is “taking it very seriously.”

Krebs has not commented publicly on the relationship. She’s a publicist, after all, so she probably knows what sort of PR headaches will come with dating Jax.

On August 7, 2025, Kelly Clarkson’s ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, passed away.

He was only 48.

Now, the former American Idol contestant is working to help their young children cope.

It is the one-year anniversary of his passing. That milestone cuts deep.

‘Kelly has done everything she can to be there’

Brandon Blackstock died after a battle with melanoma that ultimately claimed his life.

One year later, Page Six reports that “It’s been an incredibly emotional year for Kelly and the kids.”

River, their daughter, is 12. Remington or “Remy,” their son, is 10.

“Losing a parent at such a young age is something no child should ever have to go through,” the insider opined.

The source added: “Kelly has done everything she can to be there for River and Remy as they’ve navigated that loss.”

“Her focus has been making sure they feel loved, supported, and as stable as possible,” the insider described.

The source added that this is “while giving them the space to grieve in their own way.”

Loss is difficult at any age, but children usually have fewer coping mechanisms than adults when it comes to accepting the change.

Losing a parent like this can alter a child’s trajectory in life, changing how they view relationships and more.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to healthy grieving. But, in most cases, giving someone space to process is a good idea.

They were married for nearly 7 years before the split

Clarkson and Blackstock’s marriage did not end on a high note. Nor did it end quickly.

In June of 2020, Clarkson filed to divorce her husband after just shy of seven years of marriage.

Some declared that their marriage was a pandemic casualty. Some bonds grew closer during lockdowns and social distancing, while others found that without work and hobbies, they did not really like their partners.

In Clarkson and Blackstock’s case, they locked into a lengthy legal battle that lasted for years.

It was not until March 2022 that they settled disputes on spousal support, custody of their kids, and of course the contentious Montana ranch. Only then did they finalize their divorce.

As many of us recall, Clarkson postponed her Vegas residency in light of what was, at the time, merely a report of her ex-husband’s illness.

Exes though they were, he was still the father of her children.

Since his passing, she has shared her own grief and even made public tributes to her ex in the form of changed song lyrics and more.

Her children are not public figures and their mourning remains a private matter.

But we hope that they are able to process this loss in a healthy manner, with emotional support and patience. Grief is not an easy thing or a linear experience.

Now that the dust has settled from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding, we can discuss the event’s broader impact on celebrity culture.

After all, this was unlike anything we had seen before. In the past, celebs sought privacy on their big day, but Taylor and Travis closed down blocks in Midtown Manhattan on a holiday weekend.

Naturally, that approach appealed to other stars who really love the spotlight — including (allegedly) Kim Kardashian.

As you may recall, Kim and Taylor have been feuding for about a decade, and one source claims that Kim has become fixated on one-upping her rival with a superior wedding.

For the record, Kim is not currently engaged, but she is dating Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton.

And it seems that she’s already dreaming of a ceremony that would make Tay and Trav’s look like a drive-thru nuptial at a 24-hour chapel in Vegas.

“Kim’s madly in love, and she says Lewis has told her he feels the same way,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online, adding:

“What’s more, she says that when she and Lewis get married, there’s no reason they can’t throw a wedding just as big and star-studded as Taylor’s.”

The source added that Kim wouldn’t be getting married just to show up Taylor — but that would be a nice bonus.

“Kim isn’t trash-talking Taylor anymore,” said the source.

“But she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t envious of [Swift’s wedding]. She’s now dreaming up ways she and Lewis can top it.”

Kim is also a billionaire, so expense wouldn’t be an issue. But apparently, the guest list is where Kim really plans to outshine Tay.

“Between Kim and Lewis, they know just about everyone worth knowing,” said the insider.

“Kim insists they could easily pull together a guest list of a thousand people, if not more. She would absolutely love the satisfaction of outdoing Taylor.”

Besting your rival seems like a bad reason to get married, but what do we know?

After all, this would be Kim’s fourth wedding, so she’s clearly more of an expert on these matters than we are.
