Ashley wrote alongside an adorable photo: ‘Aliyas Diamond Cain – 16.01.24, 4:32am, 9lbs 3oz.

He continued: ‘May your body be strong, your mind be wise, your heart be loving and your spirit be pure and truly powerful.’
The news comes after Azaylia – who Ashley shared with ex partner Safiyya Vorajee – died in April 2021, from a rare cancer at eight months old.
She had been through chemotherapy and other treatments for over half her life.
Aliyas’ middle name ‘Diamond’ appears to be in honour of his late sister.
