Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie's brother James Haven has denied the rumours that Angelina is very controlling in her relationship with Brad Pitt.

Angelina has repeated been rumoured to be the one calling the shots in the relationship - and it causes tension between the couple - but James has told Grazia magazine that while she does like to be in charge, she doesn't control Brad: "I have never seen any sign of tension between them. They make all their decisions together. It's rubbish that she tries to control him."

"They have a balanced relationship; they each do their stuff. I've never seen moments where one is nagging or controlling the other."

"Brad has changed my sister a lot. They have an extraordinary bond, but not on the usual level. 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."

"The great thing about Brad and Angelina is that they really get each other's sense of humor, and make each other laugh a lot. They talk about politics a great deal and are very creative together with the projects they are working on. If it keeps going the way it's going, they'll be together for life."
