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.

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."
