Safiyya Vorajee left touched by fans' support after heartbreaking Ashley Cain split

Safiyya Vorajee has received an outburst of support from her legion of fans following her unexpected split from Ashley Cain.

The heartbroken mum and dad of tragic Azaylia Cain announced yesterday that they have parted ways as the anniversary of their baby daughter's death nears.

They sadly lost Azaylia in April 2021 after she bravely battled against a rare form of leukaemia.

On Wednesday, Ex On The Beach star Ashley shared that the couple decided to part ways a few months ago, but were ready to make it public knowledge.

Since telling fans their sad news, Safiyya has thanked everyone for all the kind messages she has been inundated with.

Speaking on her Instagram Story, the aesthetician said she took some time to visit her daughter's grave - which is a place she goes to when feeling sad.

As she reflected on their sudden break-up, Safiyya told fans: "I just want to say thank you to all the beautiful messages as well that I've received. So kind and so thoughtful. So heartwarming. So thank you for them."

She added: "I'm just going to take a moment for myself now with Azaylia."

Ashley announced their split on his Instagram last night.

"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," he revealed.

The reality star added: "The past few months have demonstrated that we remain the closest of friends, spending time together everyday 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."

Earlier this month Ashley paid tribute to Safiyya on International Women's Day, calling her 'fearless and strong'.

Little Azaylia tragically died when she was just eight months old.

She'd been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia, a type of cancer, when she was just eight weeks old and fought bravely before sadly losing her battle in April last year.

Ashley and Safiyya set up a charity in memory of their daughter, and The Azaylia Cain Foundation aims to support families and provide memorable experiences for children fighting cancer.

Safiyya is also helping others with her book, Loving and Losing You, Azaylia, which she's releasing next month.
