Najahe Sherman Husband/Children

Najahe’s married life is equally fruitful. The LA-based TV star is living her happily-ever-after with her husband, Micah Charyn. Najahe and her other half are also the proudest parents of their sweet baby girl, Micalah and two Yorkshire Terriers. The pair announced the arrival of their little bundle of joy merrily on 8 September 2014.

Furthermore, despite being their first time of parenting the baby, they have done a fantastic job. On 2 October 2017, together, the father-mother duo planned a Minnie and Mickey Mouse themed birthday party for their 3-year-old munchkin. Baby Micalah’s grand-mother designed and sewed costumes for all her friends to make the occasion even more memorable.

Micah is also a wonderful father to his daughter and often pampers his wife with surprises and unanticipated bouquets waiting for her when she returns home after her hectic day.
