‘I’d love to have another child – but they won’t replace Azaylia’: Safiyya Vorajee

Los Angeles| Safiyya Vorajee has revealed that she would love to one day welcome another child to continue her late daughter Azaylia’s ‘legacy’ following her death.

The mum and former partner Ashley Cain lost their daughter on April 24, 2021, when she was just eight months old following a courageous battle with acute myeloid leukaemia.

And in an interview with MailOnline, Safiyya told how she visited a medium in a desperate search for ‘answers’ following her loss, before coming to the realisation that she could see another baby in her future. Speaking to the launch of her second collection with jewellery brand Abbott Lyon in tribute to her daughter, the mum told how she’d finally become open to the idea of other children after previously being staunchly against it – but noted that Azaylia could not be ‘replaced’.  Safiyya explained: ‘At the start it was completely out of the question, I didn’t want another child and that’s because I didn’t want to feel like I was replacing Azaylia because she would never be replaced. ‘I then went to see a medium, I just needed answers from somewhere.

‘The medium asked me if I could see another child, and I said “oh no no” straight away. And she said “I want you to know that you will never replace Azaylia, this will be an addition to Azaylia and Azaylia would love that”.’ Safiyya continued: ‘When I heard that, it wasn’t so much that always believed mediums and what my readings are, it was more like what she said to me, that Azaylia will never be replaced, that she’s an addition – an addition to you. So if you had another child, they’d be another addition.

‘The fact that she said that to me, it gave me the hope to think that I would love to have another brother or sister for Azaylia.
