It is a story that has moved all of England. Last April, the former professional soccer player and reality TV star Ashley Cain announced that her 8-month-old daughter was suffering from a severe form of leukemia and only a few days later, on April 24, little Azaylia succumbed to this terrible disease. A real tragedy for the young father of 31 and his wife, Safiyya Vorajee, who had to live through days of excruciating pain. After a very moving funeral for both parents and their loved ones, the year that followed was obviously one of the most complicated for the couple who have just announced that they are separating.
This is unfortunately the end of the beautiful story between Ashley Cain and Safiyya Vorajee, almost a year after the death of their little girl and even if they have just indicated that they are separating, they assure that they will remain “bound by their powerful experience together” and “the undying love they share for their daughter”. It is on his Instagram account, where he is followed by more than 1.8 million subscribers, that the former footballer made the announcement in story and obviously the decision does not date from yesterday. “After a terrible and difficult year, Safiyya and I decided to separate a few months ago”he says.
It was an incredibly difficult decision and that’s why we’ve kept it to ourselves so far.
An announcement necessarily difficult to make and an even more difficult choice if we take into account the context around this separation. “It was an incredibly difficult decision and that’s why we’ve kept it to ourselves so far to give us the opportunity to deal with it privately.”, adds Ashley Cain. The decision to wait before announcing the news was obviously the right one since the two former lovers remained “very close friends”spending time together every day and the influencer assures him, he and Safiyya will continue to “love, care and support each other forever”.
A moving message from Ashley Cain, still bruised by the death of her little baby of only 8 months and who must now face a difficult breakup, but which seems to have gone well.
