Kate Cassidy on how she met Liam Payne: Model reveals she served star in Charleston bar and almost gave him the wrong number before romantic first date in video shared weeks before singer’s tragic death aged 31
In reflecting upon the life of Liam Payne, I am struck by both the meteoric rise to fame and the tragic circumstances that ended his journey too soon. From humble beginnings on the X Factor stage to becoming a global sensation as one-fifth of One Direction, Liam’s story is a testament to the power of dreams and determination.
In a video shared just under a month before his passing at 31 years old, Liam Payne’s partner, Kate Cassidy, narrated the tale of how they first crossed paths.
On Wednesday, I found myself taking an unfortunate tumble from the third level of Casa Sur Palmero hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina – a place where I was staying as a former member of One Direction.
Earlier this month, it was said that the popular singer made a visit to a Latin American nation to witness his former bandmate Niall Horan’s performance at a concert.
On September 20, a TikTok video was shared by Kate, a resident of New Jersey, detailing the chance encounter between her and Liam, as well as how their romance almost didn’t materialize at all.
In October 2022, their romantic journey kicked off after they crossed paths at a bar located in Charleston, South Carolina. At that moment, Kate was employed there as a waitress.
In her video, Kate shared with her audience that the meeting nearly didn’t take place because she had made a last-ditch effort to get out of work on that particular evening.
She mentioned that she had been employed at a venue known as Ritual. Interestingly, most of her friends also worked there. During her second week on the job, she found herself unwilling to work every weekend.
Initially, they had scheduled me for the second week, but I desperately wished to be released from it. I exerted all my efforts to be freed, yet none of my attempts were successful.
En route to work, my supervisor messaged me saying something along the lines of, “Liam Payne from One Direction is currently here; you’ll be handling his duties this evening.
As a devoted admirer, I must confess that when faced with the task of approaching Liam at his table, I found myself in quite a state of nervousness, almost to the point of cowardice initially.
Initially, when I went up to him, I became anxious and paused, then even looked away. It seemed like we had 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 here. I won’t be leaving this bar unless I manage to get her phone number.
Two minutes later, I returned to find him asking, “Is there any chance I can get a table indoors?” It turned out that he was actually inside, sipping on Red Bulls. Initially, I thought he was being unusually friendly rather than attempting to flirt.
Kate shared that whenever she got close to his table, Liam would invite her to join him and eventually asked for her phone number.
Each time I approached the table to check on him, he’d 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 gave me the impression that he might be flirting with me.
In my case, being an American, I hadn’t realized that international numbers need a country code (+1 in this instance). I simply provided my area code (201), but when he attempted to text me, the messages turned green (indicating they weren’t being sent or received).
He believed I had accidentally dialed the incorrect number, implying a lack of interest. This misunderstanding caused me quite a bit of anxiety throughout the night. It turned out that I had inadvertently left off the ‘+1’ code, which allowed the call to go through successfully.
Later that night, they encountered another setback: Kate’s phone ran out of battery while she was asleep, 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 next morning I texted him and was like so sorry for getting back to you so late, what time is your flight back to England? He was like, before I leave for the airport I can come see you for lunch.
On our outing, our lunch date turned out splendidly, followed by an exciting game of bowling, and to top it off, we embarked on a ghost tour. In essence, our initial date took place in a cemetery.
Initially, he prolonged his journey, and then did so once more the following day, which resulted in him staying in Charleston for a total of three days. This is the tale behind our initial encounter.
‘In essence, every occasion seems to pave the way for an encounter. Avoid leaving work early for a party, as unexpectedly, it might lead you to meet your potential spouse.’
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 in a relaxed grey t-shirt, engaged in conversation with someone who seemed to be assisting him, all while being visible to those around them.
Over the picture, Kate wrote: ‘I am very grateful for the simple things in life’.
Prior to the singer’s passing, he shared a final Snapchat photo that depicted him smiling alongside his partner, Kate Cassidy, in front of a mirror. The image was actually captured back in August.
From hereon, I’ll share more about the last days of the celebrated figure, as additional disclosures emerged. It turns out, we’d rise late at midday, around 1 pm, and brainstorm over our Halloween costumes, ultimately deciding on emulating the beloved character, Forrest Gump. These were the daily routines he shared from his hotel room.
Another sad instance occurred as the celebrity posted a selfie with the caption “Beautiful day in Argentina,” followed by a picture of their hotel room and the message “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 ambulance service spokesperson, Alberto Crescenti, it was reported that Mr. Payne fell approximately 40 meters and sustained injuries so severe that they proved fatal.
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, we discovered that he was a well-known musician. Regrettably, the harm from his fall ended up being lethal, and there was no chance of bringing him back to life.
Liam began his pursuit to stardom when he initially auditioned for X Factor in 2008.
14-year-old Liam left the judges astonished when he performed a personal rendition of “Fly Me to the Moon,” originally sung by Frank Sinatra; however, he ultimately got eliminated from the competition.
In 2010, Payne tried his hand at singing once more by auditioning for the competition. Not long after, he became famous as a member of One Direction.
Simon Cowell and former judge Nicole Scherzinger identified the potential in him and his current bandmates Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson, which led to them being assembled as a group.
Following his stint with one of the world’s most successful boybands, where they produced a total of five studio albums, Liam unveiled his debut solo album titled LP1 in the year 2019.
In the same year, a song he co-wrote with Ed Sheeran, titled “Strip That Down,” managed to reach the tenth spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Throughout the span of his pop music journey, he teamed up artistically with figures such as J Balvin, French Montana, Dixie D’Amelio, and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie.
Previously, he had a romantic involvement with renowned British pop star Cheryl Cole, and they became parents to a boy named Bear Grey on March 22, 2017. Unfortunately, the relationship ended in 2018.
Previously, he had been romantically involved with the famous British pop artist, Cheryl Cole. The two of them gave birth to their son, named Bear Grey, on March 22, 2017.
After dating the singer from Girls Aloud, Liam experienced a series of ups and downs in his relationship with his former fiancee, Maya Henry. Eventually, they decided to part ways in May, 2022.
