Overview
- Haven publicly came out as gay during a Substack livestream hosted by Romi Imbelli on Thursday, August 6, and later expanded on his decision in a podcast interview.
- He says Jon Voight phoned after reading the announcement and told him, “I finally know who you are,” which Haven called a surreal and affirming conversation.
- Haven and Voight have a history of estrangement, including a period when they did not speak for years, and Haven says the call led to renewed contact and plans to meet in person soon.
- Haven granted Imbelli permission to include his story in her memoir, and several outlets report he plans to launch a weekly podcast called Safe Haven to continue public conversations about his life.
- Voight’s exact words and any formal statement from his representatives have not been published, and outlets note his recent high‑profile conservative politics as context that makes his reported supportive response notable.
