Ashley Cain has become a dad for the second time, almost three years after the tragic death of his baby daughter Azaylia.
The former Ex On The Beach star, who has welcomed a baby boy, announced the happy news on social media.
He wrote: “Aliyas Diamond Cain – 16.01.24, 4:32am, 9lbs 3oz. I will love you, appreciate you, guide you and protect you with all of my heart, for the rest of my life.”

The new baby’s name also features a poignant nod to his late big sister. Azaylia’s middle name, like Aliyas’, was Diamond.
Ashley then commented that Azaylia would be looking after her baby brother from heaven.
He added: “And you will have the most beautiful guardian angel heaven holds watching over you and protecting you too.”
Ashley concluded his post: “Welcome to the world my son. May your body be strong, your mind be wise, your heart be loving and your spirit be pure and truly powerful.”
