Ashley Cain celebrated his baby daughter Azaylia’s eight month birthday with a moving tribute amid her brave battle against leukaemia.
The 30-year-old reality star is spending some quality time with daughter and girlfriend Safiyya Vorajee, 34, after being told by doctors on Thursday that Azaylia may only have “days to live”.
The couple brought their little girl home where they said she belongs, and Ashley posted pictures of her wrapped up in a pink blanket and bobble hat, calling her his “hero” on Instagram.
He captioned the sweet snaps: “Yesterday Azaylia returned home from hospital like the fearless little lioness that she is.”
“Today is her 8th month birthday! Happy 8 months baby! I honestly thought @therock was my hero until I spent the last 8 months with you.
“You taught me how to be strong when I needed strength, you taught me how to smile when I am feeling sad, you taught me how to cherish every single moment – as these moments are all we have.
“You’ve been tenacious, fearless, courageous, positive, happy and loving through times which I thought would make it impossible!”
Safiyya later posted her own tribute to her daughter writing: “Happy 8 months princess.
“Yesterday we come home from hospital in the ambulance to spend quality time together.
“This morning I sang happy birthday to you in bed, as we were blessed to wake up with you & celebrate 8months of magical moments together , we had a fun day and done so many casting of your cute hands and feet.
“You have changed me as a women in so many ways! You are my hero happy 8 month birthday pretty girl, mummy loves you soooo much.”
On Thursday Ashley posted a video with a heartbreaking update for his fans.
He revealed the tumours had spread across Azaylia’s body, leaving no more treatment available to her.
“Consultants said that they think she’s only got one, two days to live, it could even be that night,” he said.

The couple had previously started a GoFundMe to get Azaylia treatment in Singapore, but despite successfully raising over £1 million, the doctors said they would be unable to help.
Ashley tearfully said on camera: “Her disease is that aggressive that nothing that they are doing, nothing is working.
“And then to make it worse, consultants got an email from Singapore and because Azaylia is one in a trillion – she literally is she’s so special – but unfortunately so is her disease, so in Singapore they can’t create what they need to treat her leukemia.”
Ashley added: “For the last part of her life I just want to take her home. See her like a baby and give her the best rest of her life ever.
“We are going to be strong and we are going to go out with honour.”
