Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy calls him ‘love of my life’ in a heartbreaking tribute, revealing his plans to marry her before his tragic death.

Kate Cassidy, influencer and girlfriend of the late Liam Payne, has opened up about their relationship in an emotional tribute following the One Direction singer’s tragic death. Payne, 31, passed away on October 16, 2024, after falling from the third-story balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A week after his passing, Cassidy shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, reminiscing about their two-year relationship and revealing the singer had plans to marry her.

In her post, Cassidy wrote, “My heart is shattered in ways I can’t put into words. You are — because I can’t say were — my best friend, the love of my life.” She expressed the immense void Payne’s death has left in her life, adding, “None of this feels real, and I can’t wrap my head around this new reality of not having you here. I’m struggling to figure out how to live in a world without you by my side.”

Cassidy also shared a romantic note Payne had written just weeks before his untimely death, in which he expressed his desire to marry her within the next year. “Liam, I know we’ll be together forever, but not in the way we had planned. You’ll always be with me. I’ve gained a guardian angel,” she added.

The influencer had previously been in Argentina with Payne, where they attended a concert by his former bandmate Niall Horan. Days before Payne’s death, Cassidy posted on TikTok about leaving the country solo. In her Instagram post, she included a carousel of photos from their time together, capturing happier moments during their relationship.

Payne’s death shocked fans worldwide, and many, including his former One Direction bandmates—Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, and Louis Tomlinson—shared tributes expressing their grief. The preliminary autopsy report confirmed that Payne was alone at the time of the incident and had suffered multiple traumas and hemorrhages upon impact. Toxicology tests indicated the presence of drugs in his system.

Cassidy initially asked for privacy in the wake of Payne’s passing, requesting “grace and space to navigate this in private.”
