‘I’ve never felt a love like this’: How Liam Payne gushed that girlfriend Kate Cassidy made him ‘happy to be me’ for the ‘first time in my life’ and fiercely defended her against gold-digger claims
As I read through this heart-wrenching tale of Liam Payne’s life and untimely demise, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of melancholy. Here was a young man who started his journey towards stardom at just 14 years old, auditioning for X Factor and eventually becoming one of the most successful pop stars in history as part of One Direction.
Liam Payne spoke up for his partner, Kate Cassidy, against claims she was in the relationship for his wealth. He shared that she brings him “joy” and that he’s never experienced such deep affection as what he feels for her before.
On Wednesday, the ex-member of One Direction passed away following a fall from the third floor of Hotel Casa Sur Palermo in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Earlier this month, it appears that the popular singer made a visit to a Latin American nation to watch his former bandmate Niall Horan perform at one of his concerts.
In October 2022, Liam and Kate crossed paths for the first time. This happened when she was serving him drinks at a bar located in Charleston, South Carolina. At that moment, he requested her phone number.
Initially, there were doubts about their romantic connection, with some spectators expressing skepticism, even going so far as to privately message Liam, suggesting that Kate might be more interested in his money than in a genuine relationship.
Liam shared a screenshot of the message on his Instagram Stories, expressing his excitement about his budding relationship.
He expressed: “I can assure you that there’s nothing you could share with me that would change my feelings, because the love I have for Katelyn is unlike any I’ve ever known. We positively influence and grow as individuals together.
In response to claims that she was a gold digger, he countered by saying: “If my intentions were solely for the money, I would gladly hand over every penny to her.
‘It’s not though (please remember I’m hella sexy) and I know I’m fun and a loveable person.
Additionally, it’s quite valuable that, for the very first time, I genuinely feel content with who I am. That’s truly invaluable.
In a TikTok post from September, Kate narrated the tale of her chance encounter with Liam at the bar where she used to work and her near mistake of giving him the incorrect phone number.
She said: ‘I worked at this bar/lounge place called Ritual. Me and all my friends worked there, it was only my second week at work and I didn’t want to work every weekend.
Initially, they had scheduled me for the second week, but I desperately wished to be rescheduled. I exhausted all possible means to get rescheduled, yet none of them were successful.
En route to work, my boss messaged me saying something along the lines of, “It turns out Liam Payne from One Direction is here. You’ll be handling him for tonight.
Kate confessed that she became very nervous when it came time to approach Liam’s table, leading her to back down initially.
Initially, when I encountered him, I felt a pang of nerves and even took a step back and looked away. It seems like we shared an uncomfortable moment of eye contact for a brief instant.
We discuss the situation as he told his friend Conor, “Wow, check out that girl approaching. I won’t be leaving this bar until I have her phone number.” (Paraphrased)
Two minutes later, I returned to find him asking, “Is there any chance I could get a table indoors?” He was already inside, sipping on Red Bulls. Initially, I perceived his behavior as merely friendliness and didn’t suspect he was trying to flirt with me.
Kate shared that whenever she got near his table, Liam would invite her to join him and eventually requested her phone number.
Every time I approached the table to check on him, he would tell me to sit down. I mentioned that I had relatives in London, and he expressed interest in being my tour guide when I visited. This made it seem like he was trying to flirt with me.
In my confusion, I hadn’t realized that a country code was needed since I’m from the U.S. I only provided my area code (201), but he attempted to text me, and it failed to deliver – the messages turned green instead of blue.
He believed I had accidentally entered the incorrect phone number, interpreting it as a sign of disinterest on his part. This misunderstanding left me anxious throughout the night. Later, he discovered that I had inadvertently omitted the ‘+’ symbol before the country code, which allowed the call to go through.
Later that night, they encountered another problem when Kate’s phone ran out of power during the night, leading Liam to believe she had blocked his calls.
She recalled: ‘That night, I actually didn’t plug my phone in before bed so when I woke up in the morning it was dead. Once he finally got the number to go through, he thought I blocked him because it didn’t say delivered.
The following day, I sent him a message apologizing for my late response and asked about his flight back to England. He replied saying he could visit me for lunch prior to leaving for the airport.
On our outing, our meal was delightful, followed by some fun bowling, and culminating in a ghost tour – an unconventional yet memorable first date that ended up in a cemetery.
Initially, he prolonged his journey, and on the following day, he extended it once more. As a result, he stayed in Charleston for a total of three days. This is the tale of how our paths crossed.
In my experience as a lifestyle guide, I’d say serendipity often plays a significant role in our lives. Instead of rushing off to that party tonight, consider staying back at work. You might just cross paths with someone extraordinary – perhaps even the man who will become your future husband!
Kate welcomed the limelight from her relationship with Liam, having already honed her readiness through her own success as a social media personality and influencer.
Born in New Jersey, Kate pursued her career aspirations by studying at Coastal Carolina University, where she received her degree in 2021.
Later on, she moved to London, yet this world-traveling charmer frequently shared breathtaking glimpses of her global journeys with her 109K Instagram audience.
She can be found showcasing her style in stunning locations such as Lake Como (Italy), Milan, Paris, St. Tropez, Rome, and various other glamorous spots around Spain.
Last year, the two made a show-stopping appearance together at the Wimbledon tennis championships.
Liam also occasionally joined his girlfriend on her Instagram page, though he was a rare sight.
Six months ago, he started a romantic relationship with Kate, following the stormy conclusion of his engagement to Maya Henry.
In the early part of this year, while Payne was involved with Cassidy, tensions between them resurfaced when she released a novel, where some characters seemed to represent herself and her former partner. In this novel, his character suggested that the female lead should consider having an abortion after she became pregnant.
Two days prior to his demise, Henry issued a legal warning to Payne, aiming to halt his persistent efforts to reach her. In this letter, she further accused him of exploiting his fanbase to harass her.
Approximately a month following their initial public appearance, Payne and Cassidy solidified their relationship’s seriousness by reappearing together on her Instagram. This time, he was featured in a post detailing her journey to Rome.
Although they had been coy about their relationship, two came together for a hug in the post.
In the month of May, 2023, it was reported that Liam and Kate had parted ways. Whispers about their separation had been circulating following the absence of any public sightings of them since April.
According to a source, it was reported earlier that Payne had been putting more effort into his musical career, while Cassidy was said to have returned to her home in the U.S. after moving out.
But in June, the two were pictured together holding hands, signaling that they were back together.
After attending the 60th Anniversary Party at Annabel’s, they were seen exiting Chiltern Firehouse in London as a pair.
Kate appears to have been with Liam in his final days.
On Snapchat, it seemed like he was sharing their journey to Argentina, and in a flurry of Snapchat updates mere moments before his passing, he mentioned that they were waking up at 1 pm every day.
He also posted a somber shot of himself, which he captioned: ‘Lovely day in Argentina ❤️.’
Significantly, Kate appeared with Liam in his final post, but the photo was not new.
Initially, it was posted on Kate’s Instagram account on the 29th of August, 2023, as part of a series (carousel) to celebrate her boyfriend’s 30th birthday.
As a devoted follower, I can’t help but wonder if that old photograph carried a profound meaning for Payne. Regrettably, it turned out to be the last snapshot he chose to share with us, his admirers, prior to his unexpected demise.
Just days before his death, Kate shared a touching post, dedicated to the singer.
The blonde beauty took a snap of the popstar riding horseback in the countryside The Sun reports.
Liam was sitting on the horse, clad casually in a gray t-shirt, conversing with an individual who seemed to be assisting him, all of which were visible to the observer.
Over the picture, Kate wrote: ‘I am very grateful for the simple things in life’.
Prior to the singer’s passing, a final Snapchat post emerged featuring him smiling alongside Kate, both of them gazing at their reflection in a mirror. The photo was actually captured back in August.
In the later updates from the star’s last days, it was found that he was savoring a meal in his hotel suite. During this time, he disclosed that they were rising at 1 pm each day and were considering dressing up as Forrest Gump for Halloween.
An additional sad selfie was labeled: “Beautiful day in Argentina”, preceding the celebrity posting a picture of their hotel with the caption: “Glad I had some time off” accompanied by a heart symbol.
He shared a further photo with Kate captioned: ‘Quality time.’
According to statements made by the city’s ambulance service representative, Alberto Crescenti, it was reported that Mr. Payne had fallen approximately 40 meters, resulting in critical injuries from which he could not recover.
He said: ‘The alarm was raised at 5.04pm local time saying a person was lying in an internal patio at Casa Sur.
‘At 5.11pm an ambulance arrived and the man was certified dead.
Later on, I discovered that he was a renowned vocalist. Regrettably, the harm inflicted by his fall ultimately led to his demise, leaving no room for reviving him.
Liam began his pursuit to stardom when he initially auditioned for X Factor in 2008.
At just 14 years old, Liam left the judges amazed with his rendition of “Fly Me to the Moon,” originally sung by Frank Sinatra. However, he was ultimately removed from the competition later on.
In 2010, after restarting his singing career, Payne once more tried out for the competition. Rapidly, he became famous as a member of One Direction.
I was assembled alongside my ex-bandmates Niall Horon, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson, under the discerning eyes of Simon Cowell and former judge Nicole Scherzinger. They recognized our collective potential as a band.
Following his stint with one of the most renowned boy bands ever, Liam debuted his first solo album, titled “LP1,” in the year 2019.
In the same year, his song “Strip That Down,” which he co-wrote with Ed Sheeran, managed to reach the tenth spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Throughout his pop music journey, he worked together with artists such as J Balvin, French Montana, Dixie D’Amelio, and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie.
Previously, he was romantically involved with popular British singer Cheryl Cole, and they had a child named Bear Grey on March 22, 2017. However, the relationship ended in 2018.
