Ashley Cain's ex Safiyya Vorajee reveals heartbreaking Christmas after daughter's death
Safiyya Vorajee has shared her emotional plans for Christmas and said she will pay tribute to her late daughter. Azaylia - who Safiyya shared with her ex Ashley Cain - heartbreakingly passed away aged just eight months in April 2021, after being diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia.
And this Christmas, Safiyya said she will pay a visit to Azayliaa's memorial garden, which Ashley created in her memory. When asked how she will spend Christmas, the 37 year old told The Sun: "I’ll be with my mum, my stepdad and my brother and my nephew, but I always go on my own to Azaylia’s garden. I’ll spend a bit of time there on Christmas Day."
The last time Safiyya spoke about Azaylia's memorial garden was at Easter time. In a heartbreaking Instagram post, she admitted that her 'heart is shattered' and wished her daughter a Happy Easter as she shared a variety of pictures from the garden as she was joined by her brother, nephew and other family to celebrate the holiday with Azaylia.

She wrote: "Bringing Easter to Azaylia‘s garden. Mummy will forever include you in every occasion my sweet baby I love you," she wrote alongside the post.
Opening up about her feelings on the holiday in a separate post, Safiyya remembered Easter 2021, which they spent with Azaylia, sharing pictures and videos from the day. "My fav Easter ever will be with you Azaylia even though it was the most heartbreaking time of our lives we made the most of it, getting messy eating chocolate and playing with all the toys & teddys finishing off the day with a nice bath, movie and cuddles," she wrote.
"My memories are all I have now and I’m so blessed to have made the time with you as special as I could, the best thing I could of done was, capturing each moment it now allows me to sit here today and watch the love we share."
Safiyya also recently spoke out after ex-professional footballer Ashley - who she split from 11 months after Azaylia's death - announced the arrival of his second child with his new girlfriend.
Ashley, 34, who is also a dad to son Aliyas Diamond, who was born in January, confirmed the birth of son Atlas Diamond Cain in late November, saying he was "bursting with pride and excitement".
While Safiyya said: "For me, I know he is an amazing dad, and he always will be an amazing dad. He’s just really blessed, and I hope he enjoys every moment of it."
