Kate Cassidy, Liam Payne's girlfriend, reveals the reasons behind her departure from the singer days before his fatal fall. Kate shares her grief and the haunting circumstances surrounding his death.
Liam Payne's girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, was overcome with emotion as she revealed the reasons behind her departure from the singer just days before his tragic death. Kate, who was with Liam leading up to his passing on October 16, 2024, returned to her Florida home two days prior to the fatal incident. Liam, aged only 31, fell from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room, sustaining multiple injuries that resulted in both internal and external hemorrhaging.
Since then, Kate has kept a low profile, moving her belongings out of their London residence and returning to her life in the United States. In November, she attended Liam's funeral in Buckinghamshire alongside Damian Hurley, though she was not present with Liam's family. Now, in a candid interview with The Sun, she broke her silence, shedding tears as she discussed her decision to return to Florida shortly before Liam's death. She explained, 'I had a responsibility, we had a responsibility. We had our dog and obviously, I never, ever thought this event would occur. It was a tragic accident and no, I never did think (he might die young). But, you know, we did have our own separate lives - this wasn't the first time we have travelled separately.'The singer's passing has left an indelible mark on Kate. She finds herself haunted by his old voicemail greeting, dialing his number repeatedly. Unable to bear the memories within their once shared Florida home, she has since retreated to her childhood roots in New Jersey. Nights, once filled with the soothing sounds of Liam's music, now bring a profound sense of emptiness. While some of Liam's friends received the devastating news through social media, Kate was at home with their dog, Nala, scrolling through her feed when one of Liam's friends delivered the heartbreaking message. The reality struck her with a force that left her reeling, initially dismissing the news as an awful joke, but a gnawing 'bad feeling' in the pit of her stomach hinted at the truth. In a state of panic, her mother booked the earliest flight to Florida to provide support. Kate was overwhelmed with shock, feeling as though she had 'blacked out'. In a desperate attempt to grasp reality, she reached for her phone to call Liam, hoping against hope to disprove the news. However, the circumstances surrounding Liam's untimely death remain shrouded in mystery, even to his former lover. Just hours before his fatal fall, witnesses observed Liam expressing extreme anger, smashing his laptop in the lobby of his hotel. Kate confessed that she remains clueless as to what triggered Liam's tragic downfall. Liam had openly shared his struggles with addiction, a battle through which Kate stood by his side, cherishing his true essence. Tragically, following her departure to Argentina, Liam succumbed once again to substance abuse, despite presenting as being in a 'good headspace' in Kate's eyes. In the days leading up to his passing, Kate had excitedly prepared their Florida home for Halloween, decorations Liam would never see. On social media, she has since poured out her heart about their deep connection, one that began when she was just ten years old and he was rising to fame as part of the world's most beloved boy band. Her walls were adorned with his posters, a testament to her early adoration. They had dreamt of an engagement, a commitment now immortalized in a heartfelt note Liam left behind, instructing Kate not to read it. She penned on Instagram, '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 we had planned. You'll always be with me. I've gained a guardian angel.' She concluded her heartfelt message with, 'I will love you for the rest of my life and beyond, carrying our dreams and memories with me everywhere I go. Forever yours, Katelyn 444.'In numerological belief, 444 signifies a divine message of protection and encouragement, believed to be from guardian angels offering their support and love. However, fate had a cruel twist in store. Kate revealed online that circumstances forced her to leave Argentina, where they had been staying. She expressed her eagerness to depart from the South American nation, stating, 'I was so ready to leave. Love South America, but I hate staying in one place for too long and we were supposed to be there for five days, turned into two weeks and I was just like, 'I need to go home.'' Liam stayed behind in Argentina. The couple had traveled to Argentina before Liam's untimely demise as he needed to renew his US visa. The process proved complicated due to his past issues with substance abuse and stays in rehab. It required him to pass medical checks and drug screenings before receiving approval. Their love story reads like a Hollywood movie script: Kate encountered the high-profile celebrity while working as a waitress at a bar in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2022.
