Ashley Cain has welcomed a baby boy two years after the tragic death of his daughter Azaylia.

The Ex On The Beach star, 33, previously announced he was expecting a son with an old friend after he split from his ex-partner Safiyya Vorajee. Ashley and Safiyya welcomed Azaylia into the world in August 2020 but were devastated after she was diagnosed with leukaemia just eight weeks later.

The reality star and Safiyya split a year after Azaylia’s death in April 2021 but often appear on one another's social media feeds as they continue to support each other. On January 18, the fitness enthusiast announced the birth of his baby boy much to the delight of his followers.

After welcoming the little one with an unnamed childhood friend, Ashley took to his Instagram page to share the happy news. Along with an adorable snap of their baby, he said: "Aliyas Diamond Cain - 16.01.24, 4:32am, 9lbs 3oz. I will love you, appreciate you, guide you and protect you with all of my heart, for the rest of my life.

When Ashley found out he was having another baby, he said that his late daughter Azaylia was the first to know about the news. The TV star explained that he visited his daughter’s resting place and said doing so allowed him to be positive about becoming a dad once more.

Speaking to about the mother of his son, Ashley said: “She is a really nice person and good to be around. I got a message saying that she needed to speak to me so I went to see her and she told me she was pregnant, I can't put into words how that felt.” However, Ashley admitted it was "painful" for his ex-girlfriend and Azaylia’s mum to find out he was having another child.

Speaking previously to The Mirror about Azaylia, Ashley said his little girl "saved his life".

He told us: "The reason also why I still talk about her passing is because I am so grateful that even though now I have lost her, I was blessed to have those eight months with her, and in that time, she taught me so much. She changed my life and she continually saves my life. I feel like she gave me a chance at redemption and that she is the person who allowed me to be organically and authentically who I am."
