Ashley Cain issues statement over split from Safiyya Vorajee
Posting on Instagram, Ashely 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 every day, and that we will love, care and support each other forever.
“We are bonded by our powerful journey together, by the eternal love we have for our daughter, and our passionate commitment to her foundation.”
The couple first started dating in 2017 and welcomed their daughter into the world in August 2020.
Azaylia was diagnosed with a ‘rare and aggressive’ form of lukaemia, and passed away at just eight months old.
