James Haven Comes Out as Gay on Ex‑Wife’s Substack Livestream

He framed the disclosure as part of healing from childhood trauma and said it marks the start of a personal new chapter.

Overview

  • Haven publicly said “I’m gay” during a 35-minute livestream hosted by Romi Imbelli on her Breathe Mija Substack on Thursday, Aug. 6, 2026.
  • He read an emotional letter in which he recalled childhood moments such as sneaking glitter onto his cheeks and feeling more like himself around Disney princesses.
  • Imbelli immediately posted public support, calling her role one of helping to “set someone free,” and court records show the pair married in August 2024 with an annulment filing 15 days later.
  • Multiple outlets report Haven is developing a weekly podcast called Safe Haven with Wonder Peak Media, a project described as forthcoming rather than released.
  • The announcement highlights Haven’s place in a high‑profile family that includes Angelina Jolie and Jon Voight, and he urged relatives and the public to respond with compassion as he begins this new chapter.
