Ashley Cain’s ex Safiyaa Vorajee opens up on ‘challenges’ in emotional post after he reveals his baby news
ASHLEY Cain’s ex Safiyaa Vorajee has broken her silence on social media after he revealed he is set to become a dad again.
The TV star told fans he will welcome a second son into the world following the tragic death of his daughter Azaylia.
She died in April 2021 following a long battle with a rare form of leukaemia.
Following her death, Ashley and Safiyaa broke up, and the Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins star Ashley went on to have a baby boy with another woman.
Ashley had his first son Aliyas Diamond with an old friend who he has dated on and off over the years.
Writing on social media this afternoon, he said: “My little girl will soon have another little brother to watch over, and my little boy will not only be a baby brother but a big brother too.
“With all the heartache I’ve been through, I’m truly grateful that I can really start counting my blessings again!!”
Following his announcement, Safiyya said: “Working towards my dreams with purpose.
“I’m embracing the power of healing, kindness, and helping others along the way.
“Every step is part of my journey of growth, balance, and resilience, reminding me that true strength comes from within.
“I choose to stay true to my purpose, knowing that with each challenge I face, I’m becoming stronger, wiser, and more aligned with the life I’m meant to live.
“The path may not always be easy, but it is mine and I will walk it with courage, hope, and unwavering faith in what’s to come.”
Speaking about the mother of his second baby, Ashley said: “I got a call from a girl I was seeing who I have known since I was 18.
“We are friends and have met up on and off over the years.
“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.
“The thought of potentially having another child after losing one was very difficult to understand for me.”
He added: “The Yukon gave me a lot of time and solitude to think and it made me understand that, even though this next part of my journey is going to be hard, I truly understood that every child that comes into this world is a blessing.”
Safiyya, 36, had previously claimed he had wanted to try for another child with her and that his baby news last year had left her taken aback.
She told us: “I don’t know why he would ask to have another baby with me knowing he’s sleeping with someone else.
“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.
“He said, ‘I don’t want another baby with another woman’, and asked if we could have one together.
“I couldn’t speak, the tears were rolling down my face.
“Over the coming weeks I then waited for him to say, ‘Shall we get back together’. I truly thought he would, I thought he was just taking things step by step.
“But then, out of the blue, he told me he was having a child with someone else.
“It was like a hurricane had hit me. I am shocked.”
Safiyya and Ashley now run The Azaylia Foundation together.
The former Ex on the Beach star has completed a number of physical challenges since his daughter’s death in 2021 and was preparing to take on the Yukon 1000 when he found out the news about the baby in July 2023.
The Yukon 1000 is the world’s toughest survival endurance race from Canada, through the Arctic circle, to Alaska.
