Azaylia was born in August 2020. The good news of her birth was announced by the "Ex On The Beach" star in an Instagram post where he shared a snapshot of his tender daughter. He noted alongside the post how he could not describe his feelings.

Cain said he would be there for Azaylia as a father, a friend, and a confidant, adding that he loves her so much and changed his life. Watching a child go through pain, especially at a young age, is one of the most heartbreaking experiences.

This, however, was the unfortunate scenario Cain and his partner Safiyya Voyagee found themselves in. The footballer announced that his daughter had Leukemia when she was about two months old after he and his wife had decided to stop the cancer treatment.

The payment for the treatment was made by well-meaning individuals who contributed through a GoFundme, and over $2.2million was raised.

The couple has decided to donate the extra money to children and families who are passing through similar difficulties following their pledge of giving back to the community.
