Ashley Cain hits back at trolls saying mum of his unborn baby is ‘a good person and someone I trust’
ASHLEY Cain has hit back at the trolls as he admitted the mum of his unborn baby is ‘a good person and someone I trust’
The reality star previously revealed he is preparing to become a dad again two years after his daughter Azaylia passed away in his arms.
Ashley, 33, previously admitted how he broke down in tears as he spoke of visiting his daughter’s grave to tell her that she was going to be a big sister.
His late daughter was diagnosed with with acute myeloid leukemia at eight-weeks-old and she tragically lost her fight after she had tumours on her stomach, kidneys and lungs.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, he admitted he felt guilty about his new happy news.
He told Ed Balls and Susanna Reid: “It was different because I felt slightly guilty, I felt slightly hurt for Azaylia and I didn’t really expect this to be the case.
“But very quickly, like I do, I took the responsibility of being a father. I realise that every child is a blessing and I got myself in the right mind frame and had a long time to think about it.
“[I’m going to] be the best person I can possibly be for my son that’s coming into this world and that’s what I intend to do.”
But as he is set to become a father, although he received plenty of support, he hit back at cruel trolls in a lengthy statement.
The former Ex On The Beach star posted a clip of a large lion looking after a young cub alongside a long statement on Instagram.
Ashley said: “This isn’t a post for sympathy, it’s a post to say it how it is.. I am a man that went through a tragic 6 month battle with my daughter fighting cancer. I am a man that witnessed that terrible illness take her life.
“I am a man that had to bury the most precious thing I have ever seen, touched & witnessed. I am a man that not only is dealing with grief, but remained strong to help those around me deal with theirs.
“I am a man that made promises and commitments to his daughter that he would be the best person he could be to make a positive difference in this world for other children that follow in her footsteps.
“I am a man that kept that promise and despite his feelings everyday, does what he needs to do to make that happen. I am also a man that chooses to help others fight their demons, open up about their problems and be brave enough to tackle and improve their mental health.”
In the lengthy written essay, he admitted that he is a ‘carer’ and a ‘fighter’ whilst he left gushing praise for the partner of his new child, even though they are not together.
He continued: “I am a man that even though not with his ex partner, provided a safe space for her surrounded by his very own family for years after they spilt. I am a family man.. A lover, a carer and a fighter for myself, my people and the things that I believe in.
“& now I am a man that is having another child, not with a partner, but with a lady that is a good person, who I trust & believe will be a great mother. Being that man, I will be a present father to my child.
“I will love, care & protect him at all costs for the rest of my life. I am a man that has took heat over and over again while caring for his terminally ill child. I am a man that has continued taking that heat since losing his precious child.
“I am also a man that is prepared to continue to take that heat to continue his daughters legacy, to continue having a positive impact in this world & to make sure that I can be the best father that I can be to my son.”
Commenting on his resilience, he added: “I am a man that will not only take that heat, but I will control the flames to make sure they don’t burn others that I care about in the process.
“I am a man, a human being, not a perfect one, but one that is committed to doing as best as he possibly can. To everyone reading this whether you love me or hate me.. I wish you love, strength & blessings!”
