Liam Payne’s Relationship with Kate Cassidy
Liam Payne had been in a relationship with Kate Cassidy for two years, beginning in October 2022. After the couple went public with their relationship, one of Liam’s followers sent him a direct message on Instagram, claiming that Kate was only with him for his money. According to the Daily Mail, Liam took a screenshot of the message and posted it on his Instagram Stories. In response, he said, "Gotta say you could tell me anything, and I couldn't be turned. I've never felt love like I do for Katelyn. We make each other better people."
He added, "If it was just for the money, I'd give her all of it. It's not though (please remember I'm hella sexy), and I know I'm fun and a loveable person. And I don't give a f*** to say that for the first time in my life I'm happy to be me, and that's priceless."
Despite breakup rumours in 2023, the couple remained together, and they were seen publicly at various events, including Paris Fashion Week in 2024. In a past interview with MTV News, Payne had spoken about his decision not to hide his relationships anymore, stating, "I don't have anything to hide... I realise it's not worth sacrificing my happiness just because somebody might see something."
Kate, an influencer with over 2,39,676 Instagram followers, often shares travel updates from her adventures around the world, including visits to Dubai, Rome, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. At the time of Liam’s death, the couple seemed to be enjoying a peaceful getaway, with no signs of what would tragically follow.
Before his relationship with Kate, Liam had high-profile relationships with singer Cheryl Cole, with whom he shares a son, and model Maya Henry.
