Liam Payne Planned to Marry Me, Reveals Heartbroken Girlfriend Kate Cassidy
Kate Cassidy, girlfriend of former One Direction star Liam Payne, has shared a deeply personal message, revealing that the singer had written a note predicting they would marry within a year. This poignant revelation comes just a week after his tragic death in Argentina, where he fell from a balcony at the age of 31.
In a heartfelt Instagram post on Wednesday, Cassidy reflected on their plans for the future, explaining how they once spent an evening imagining their life together. “We sat outside on a beautiful evening, manifesting our future,” she wrote. “I still hold your note, even though you told me not to read it. It said, ‘Me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged & together forever.'”
Alongside the message, she shared a series of personal photos, including one showing Payne’s handwritten note. Expressing her grief, she added, “Liam, I know we’ll be together forever, just not in the way we had envisioned. You’ve become my guardian angel. I’ll carry our dreams and memories with me for the rest of my life. Forever yours, Katelyn.”
What We Know So Far:
Payne’s death on October 16 shocked fans around the globe. The singer had been in a relationship with the American influencer since 2022, and she had joined him on his South American tour just days before his death. However, by the time the tragedy occurred, Cassidy had already returned home.
A Heartfelt Tribute:
Cassidy began her emotional tribute by expressing her overwhelming sorrow: “I don’t even know where to start. My heart is shattered in ways I can’t even explain.” She went on to reflect on Payne’s lasting impact on those around him, saying, “You brought so much joy and positivity to the world—millions of fans, your family, your friends, and especially me. You are so deeply loved.”
She continued: “You were—and I can’t say ‘were’—my best friend, my soulmate. You lit up every room you walked into, and everyone who knew you felt just as special as I did.”
Cassidy admitted that she is struggling to accept her new reality without him, writing, “None of this feels real. I can’t fathom a world without you by my side. You had the kindest soul and the most fun-loving spirit. It feels like I’ve lost the best part of myself.”
An Outpouring of Grief:
Payne’s sudden passing has left his family, friends, and fans in mourning. His father, Geoff Payne, has since traveled to Buenos Aires, where authorities are conducting tests before his body can be flown back to the UK. Investigations are underway as officials review phone, computer, and security footage to determine the full circumstances surrounding his death.
