Ashley Cain's ex says their split was 'quick and brutal' after daughter's death
Ex On The Beach star Ashley Cain's ex-partner Safiyya Vorajee said their breakup was 'quick and brutal'
Safiyya gave birth to their baby girl, Azaylia, in August 2020, but she was soon diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukaemia. The former couple documented every part of the couple's and their baby's difficult journey but, unfortunately, she died at only eight months old.
The duo parted ways almost a year after her death and remained close friends. Earlier this month, Ashley revealed he's expecting a baby boy with another woman. He explained that the two aren't in a relationship but added they have been friends since the age of 18.
The news was painful for Safiyya, who recently claimed he asked her if they could have another baby before their split. She also opened up about their difficult split.
According to Safiyya, he was the one to break up with her. She revealed to The Sun: “He’d had a drink, it was quick and brutal. He said he couldn’t do it any more.” He soon moved out of the family home in Warwickshire.
Baby boy has spent his life in hospital as doctors are 'scared' to discharge himAshley most recently appeared on The Real Full Monty to raise awareness about cancer and share the importance of checking for symptoms. One segment had the stars sharing their experiences with cancer and Ashley opened up about the death of his little girl and the reason he grew out his beard.
When asked by Coleen Nolan how he's feeling, he said: "I'm f**king angry. I'm angry. Every single day that I wake up in the morning, I'm sad. Every single day that I wake up in the morning I'm in pain. I go through mega-extreme amounts of trauma. Cancer took something from me that's way more important than my own life and I miss that little girl with everything in my heart and my body. I'm trying to do everything I can do in my life to make a difference so that other parents and kids don't have to go through what I went through.
"This experience bought back some experiences that I had in the hospital when I was feeling pain and I was feeling sad but I used to pick that little girl up and I used to dance with her all day to try and make her life a little bit better and in turn, it made my life a little bit better. It was during COVID-19 and I was living in the hospital room and I couldn't get a haircut so naturally I started growing a beard.
"As my beard was growing and Azaelia was growing. She used to hold onto it, she used to pull me in with it. She used to run her toes through it and it was our little connection and I kind of thought to myself, she's touched these very hairs on my face and I'm never going to cut them off. This beard is my strength and regardless of whether people like it or don't it's gonna stay on my face and it's just a beautiful memory."
