Ashley Cain daughter passed away
Former footballer Ashley Cain has announced his eight-month-old daughter Azaylia has died.
She was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukaemia at eight weeks old.
Her parents, ex-Coventry City player turned reality star Ashley Cain and partner Safiyya Vorajee, had raised more than £1.5m earlier this year to fund specialist treatment in Singapore.
But the 30-year-old told his Instagram followers last month that Azaylia had become too ill for the treatment.
In posts announcing her death, Ashley and Safiyya shared pictures of them cuddling their daughter.
Ex on the Beach star Ashley wrote: “Rest in Paradise Princess. I will always hold you in my heart until I can hold you again in heaven.”
Azaylia’s mum said her baby was “my angel, my heartbeat, my soul.”
She added: “RIP my precious baby, you will always be with me like a handprint on my heart.”
In November, the couple – from Nuneaton in Warwickshire – had urged people to register as stem cell donors after being told their daughter needed a transplant.
It led to 41,000 people registering within 48 hours.
But doctors had told them they wouldn’t be able to cure Azaylia, whose leukaemia got worse despite a successful bone marrow transplant.
Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague is one of many who’ve posted tributes online, writing: “Heaven has gained the sweetest angel, My heart is broken”.
Ashley Cain new girlfriend
The former Ex On The Beach star announced his relationship with aesthetic practitioner Safiyya had come to an end nearly a year after the death of their baby daughter Azaylia.
Shortly after, Ashley, 31, was pictured working out with ex-Love Island stars Kaz and Michael Griffith and shooting a photo campaign for a gym clothing brand.
It sparked speculation that Ashley and Kaz were secretly dating, but she has promptly put an end to the rumours.
In a Q&A on her Instagram, the 28-year-old influencer was asked: ‘What’s going on with you and Ashley Cain? X.’
Kaz then stated: ‘We are friends but after our work shoot the other day I’ve been getting hate messages saying I’m trying to get with him.
‘I’ve always supported his cause and likewise him with my kids in Thailand.’
Hitting back at the trolling she’s received as a result of their friendship, she added: ‘People are so quick to tear each other down it’s sad.’
Last week, Ashley and Safiyya shared a joint statement confirming they were no longer together.
They said: ‘After a devastating and heartbreaking year, Ashley and I decided to separate a few months ago. This was an incredibly tough decision which we needed to keep to ourselves for some time to give us the opportunity to figure out our own journey privately.
‘The past few months have demonstrated that we remain the closest of friends, spending time together everyday [sic], and that we will love, care and support each other forever.
