Javaherian’s presence in Canada during her pregnancy, alongside Javan, with the intention of giving birth there resulting in Canadian citizenship for their child sparked reactions from the public on social media and from various prominent figures in the country, creating controversies surrounding the personal life of this actress and her husband. Ultimately, on July 18, 2019, Noordoxt Javan, the daughter of Negar Javaherian and Rambod Javan, was born in Canada.
