Ashley Cain announces surprise birth of new baby boy as stars send their love
Ashley Cain has announced the birth of his baby son, a month before his due date. It comes shortly after the star revealed he was set to become a father for the third time, three years after the tragic death of his daughter Azaylia. Azaylia tragically passed away in April 2021 following a devastating battle with leukaemia.
The former Ex On The Beach star announced the arrival of his baby son Atlas Diamond Cain, less than a year after the birth of his baby boy Aliyas, on Instagram. Along with adorable pictures of the new born, the 34-year-old penned: "Welcome to the world, my son! When you rearrange your final two filming dates three times to make sure you’re back for your son’s birth, fully expecting him to be just like you - LATE. He surprises everyone by showing up a month early!"
Ashley expressed his disappointment for not being able to be at his sons birth, as he continued: "Even though I’m absolutely gutted I couldn’t be there, my heart is bursting with love and excitement. I can’t wait to leave the danger zones behind and come home to the best welcome ever - hugs, kisses, and sleepy snuggles on the sofa with my beautiful baby boy.

Paying tribute to his late daughter, the star continued: "Atlas, you will always have the most beautiful, strong, and courageous guardian angel watching over you in your big sister, Azaylia. And you’ll share an unbreakable bond with the best big brother, Aliyas, who will forever have your back, look out for you, and stand by your side."
Concluding, Ashley wrote: "May your body grow strong, your mind grow wise, your heart remain loving, and your spirit stay pure and truly powerful! See you soon, my boy - I love you."
Ashley's post was filled with congratulations messages from fans and celebrity friends as Radio 1's Rickie Haywood-Williams wrote: "Congrats Ash," alongside trophy and heart emojis. Britain's Got Talent magician Marc Spellman wrote: "Nothing compares to the love for our children.. Huge congratulations Ashley and family.. What a wonderful way to end an epic 2024.."
It comes just a week after the star revealed he and his partner would be expecting their second child together. In an announcement post, he penned: "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!"
He then revealed he was off "to head to two of the most dangerous places in the world to film the final two episodes of my brand new series." The star planned to be back for the birth of Atlas, however, he was born a month earlier than expected.
