Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy sizzles in a skimpy bikini after she fooled fans with dramatic ‘breakup’ prank

by

Kate Cassidy, Liam Payne’s girlfriend, shared some stunning photos on Instagram on Friday, wearing a revealing lilac bikini.

The 26-year-old influencer displayed her incredible physique in a very small bikini featuring a triangle top and tie-side bottoms.

Kate took a mirror selfie wearing a see-through matching skirt and comfy white sandals.

The beautiful woman carried her things in a large Dior bag while lounging on a rooftop in the sun.

Kate quickly put her dark hair up with a claw clip before jumping into a rooftop pool with a view of the city.

She wrote: ‘I never wear purple but I might start’.  

This follows a recent playful prank Kate pulled on her 1.8 million TikTok followers, where she jokingly announced she was splitting up with her friend Kaitlin Reagan.

In a recent video shared on April 1st, she revealed she’s going through a breakup – but it’s not with a male partner.

It’s always tough when a friendship ends, particularly when you believed you had a deep understanding of the other person.

Let me give you a clue: her name is the same as my own. I ended our relationship with Kaitlin. She might tell a different story, but I was the one who initiated the separation, not the other way around.

She’s also been claiming I’m interested in Mirko, which is really confusing because I’m fiercely loyal to my female friends and would never go after someone they’re dating.

I’m really hurting, and while I love Kaitlin, I can’t handle these feelings of jealousy anymore. It’s a big part of why I’m so upset.

It seems this is the consequence of getting close to someone you met online – we actually connected through Instagram direct messages. I’m sure Kaitlin will record a video as soon as she sees this.

Kaitlin also posted a video online, telling viewers that she and the other person are no longer friends.

Once the April Fools’ jokes were done, Kaitlin posted a video wondering if she should pursue acting as a result of the prank. Kate then shared a photo of them together with the caption ‘April Fools guys’ written over it.

In her video, Kaitlin explained that she and Kate were planning a playful prank on their followers, just for fun.

It seems the prank didn’t fully work though as several fans claimed they ‘knew it was April fools’. 

Just last month, Kate considered appearing on the reality dating show The Bachelorette. This came 17 months after the passing of the One Direction singer.

Liam passed away in October 2024 at the age of 31 after a fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Toxicology reports showed the presence of both alcohol and cocaine in his system.

Kate, who previously dated singer Liam for two years before his unexpected passing, has hinted she’s open to dating again. She shared a playful new video on TikTok suggesting she’s ready to move forward.

The influencer reached out to the network that produces The Bachelorette, hoping to be a contestant on the show.

Kate playfully hinted she’d be a good fit for the next season of The Bachelorette, posting a video of herself dancing and wearing sunglasses with the caption, ‘Heard they’re looking… hi!’

She captioned the post: ‘hi abc’.

Viewers expressed interest in Kate appearing on the popular American show, saying they think she’d be a great fit.

Someone said they’d finally watch the show if a particular person was on it, then wondered if that was even possible. They encouraged that person, suggesting they might really be able to make it happen.

You’d be amazing on the show! You’re exactly what they’re looking for, and honestly, I’d even tune in to watch if you were the Bachelorette’s suitor.

Production of The Bachelorette was halted after a disturbing video emerged showing contestant Taylor Frankie Paul physically assaulting her former partner, Dakota Mortensen.

Disney announced last week that they are pausing the new season of ‘The Bachelorette’ after a recently surfaced video. Their priority right now is supporting the family involved.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following the buzz, and it seems Kate is definitely open to finding love again! Last week, she shared a really cute TikTok video where she playfully leaned into the arms of someone new, and everyone’s been talking about it. It’s a sweet sign she’s ready to move forward and embrace new connections.

She appeared much happier while being held by the unknown man, leading fans to express that she ‘deserves to be loved again’.

The American social media personality was walking down the street with a very attractive man when he playfully picked her up and spun her around.

Kate, dressed casually in low-rise jeans and a crop top, laughed joyfully and playfully added Olivia Newton-John’s song “Hopelessly Devoted To You” to the video.

People shared their excitement in the comments, saying they were thrilled for Kate and that she deserves to be happy in love again.

So thrilled for you, Kate! We’re sending you lots of love and support. You deserve all the happiness in the world! Liam is cheering you on too!

So happy for you, Kate! Liam and I are thrilled for you. You deserve all the happiness in the world, and it’s wonderful to see you healing. As long as he treats you well and makes you happy, that’s all that matters!

So thrilled to see you happy and finding love! You truly deserve all the good things coming your way, and it’s wonderful to see you smiling. We’re all rooting for your happiness!

Kate mentioned her friend Michael in the photo’s description, and some followers noticed he’s actually friends with her sister, Amy.

They wrote: ‘I think he’s a friend; yall its her sisters friend omg!!!!; Thats her sisters friend’.

I was so touched last year when Kate got emotional and confessed that, no matter who she dates in the future, she’ll always carry a special place in her heart for Liam. It really showed how much he means to her, and any guy who gets involved with her needs to understand that connection will always be there.

The influencer responded to an online critic who told her to stop discussing the deceased singer and focus on other topics.

They had been a couple for two years when he died, and Kate shared her experience with mourning online.

Kate clarified in a TikTok video that anyone she dates in the future needs to understand she will always have feelings for Liam.

‘I will always talk about Liam I will always laugh about Liam, I will always cry about Liam.’

I have to share this – Liam Payne and I actually dated. He wasn’t just some celebrity I admired from afar, he was my boyfriend, someone I really knew.

It’s incredibly painful to constantly be criticized for talking about my late boyfriend, the person I loved deeply and still love. I could never be with someone who wasn’t okay with me sharing memories of Liam.

Liam meant a lot to me. He was my best friend, and I truly believed we had a future together. While it’s hard, I know I need to start thinking about the future, and I hope to find love and have a family someday.

People truly pass away twice: first with their last breath, and then when we stop remembering them. I refuse to let that happen to Liam. My love for him will never fade.
