Ashley Cain's ex-partner Safiyya Vorajee claimed he asked if they could have another baby after the tragic death of their daughter Azaylia.

The former couple welcomed their baby into the world in August 2020, but were devastated after she was diagnosed with leukaemia just eight weeks into her short life. Unfortunately, she died at only eight months old, with Ex On The Beach star Ashley and author Safiyya splitting a year later.

Ashley, 33, and Safiyya decided to call time on their relationship just weeks before the first anniversary of her death, with the two still sharing a strong bond. Earlier this month, he revealed he's expecting a child. He is not in a relationship with the mother of his unborn son but says they have been friends since the age of 18.

And now, ex-partner Safiyya claimed she and Ashley discussed the possibility of having another child before breaking up for good.

"I don’t know why he would ask to have another baby with me knowing he’s sleeping with someone else," she claimed. "When he asked me, it was the moment I’d been waiting for. I sighed with relief that we could reunite and have a family again. It was at Azaylia’s garden, in front of our daughter, such a precious, safe space for us."

According to Safiyya, Ashley said he didn't want a child with another woman before asking them to try again. She said she waited for him to ask if they could get back together, but it never happened. Speaking to The Sun, Safiyya revealed he told her 'out of the blue' that he was having a child with another woman.

The Mirror have contacted his reps for comment. Ashley previously said telling Safiyya about the baby news was 'painful' for both of them. He went to the resting place of Azaylia, who bravely battled against a rare form of leukaemia, to “talk to her about it” - before sitting her mum down to explain what was going on.

The semi-professional footballer says it was very hard for her to hear - and for him to explain to his ex - but given their close relationship. But Ashley says that it was important to sit down together and to do things right when it came to letting her know about the pregnancy.

He told The Sun: “It was painful for Safiyya but it was also painful for me as well to talk to her. We haven’t been together for a while now and it is inevitable that at some stage people are going to move on with their lives - that doesn’t mean that we can’t be friends and have an amazing relationship. I know Safiyya will always support me and I will always be there to support Safiyya."
