According to James Haven, Jolie’s brother, the relationship has changed her life, especially after the failed marriages to Johnny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton. Haven told WENN, "Brad has changed my sister a lot. They have an extraordinary bond, it’s not on the usual level. Haven added, "He’s great with her and I’ve never seen a brood like that who are all so supportive of one another."
Haven concluded, "Brad is so strong for her. When she feels vulnerable, he has the most incredible strength. She says she couldn’t have adopted more children after Maddox without him. I’ve never seen any sign of tension between them, and if it keeps going the way it’s going, they’ll be together for life."
