Kate Cassidy has shared a heartfelt tribute to her late partner Liam Payne, just weeks after his funeral.
The former One Direction star passed away at 31 in October after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His funeral was held last month in Buckinghamshire.
Nearly three weeks after laying him to rest in Amersham, the 25-year-old compiled unseen moments from their relationship and accompanied the video with the caption: "I love you."
The tribute, shared on TikTok, featured a minute-and-a-half video set to Mazzy Star's Fade Into You.
The montage captured intimate moments of the couple laughing, hugging, and kissing during their travels. One clip showed Payne lovingly picking Cassidy up, while another featured them smiling during a cozy cabin getaway.
Cassidy also included snippets from a ski trip, a visit to a bowling alley, and private moments of them cuddling in bed and dancing together in a bathroom.
The couple began dating in October 2022 and made their red carpet debut at the Fashion Awards later that same year. They were in Argentina together to attend Niall Horan's concert shortly before Liam's tragic death.
The influencer recently revealed that she and Liam, whom she called the "love of her life," had been planning their future together and hoped to marry.
She penned in a heartfelt Instagram caption: “A few weeks ago we sat outside on a beautiful evening manifesting our lives together. I keep your note close, even though you told me not to look at it.
“It said: 'Me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged and together forever 444.’ Liam, I know we'll be together forever, but not in the way that we planned.
“You'll always be with me. I've gained a guardian angel. I will love you for the rest of my life and beyond, carrying our dreams and memories with me wherever I go. Forever yours, Katelyn, 444.”
Days before the singer’s tragic death, Cassidy had returned to their home in Miami on October 14, while Payne remained in Argentina to renew his US visa.
In a TikTok video shared shortly before the tragedy, she revealed she was feeling homesick after their planned five-day trip extended into two weeks.
Last month, Cassidy traveled to England to attend Payne’s funeral at St Mary’s Church in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, with the support of her friend Damian Hurley.
Payne's ex, Cheryl Cole, the mother of his seven-year-old son Bear, was also in attendance alongside his One Direction bandmates Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson.
Since then, three people have been charged in connection with his death. In November, Argentine prosecutors charged the suspects with "abandonment of a person leading to death" and "supplying and facilitating narcotics use."
