In June 2014, Afshar married Yasin Ramin , the son of Mohammad Ali Ramin, a former high-ranking official under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The union was controversial due to their differing political leanings; Afshar was a vocal supporter of reformist causes, while her father-in-law was a staunch conservative. The couple had a daughter named Liana (or Leah) in 2015. They officially divorced in 2019.
