Fans now fear for Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy after the 31-year-old’s death last week 😭 Images have emerged after her first outing, and they’re heartbreaking to see

While fans across the world are slowly coming to terms with the tragic death of One Direction’s Liam Payne, his girlfriend Kate Cassidy is grappling with the loss of the man she will love “unconditionally and completely” for “the rest of [her] life.”

Only four days before his fatal fall, Cassidy left Payne behind in Argentina and returned to her home in Florida, saying she “hates staying in one place for too long.”

The social media influencer was recently spotted for the first time since her boyfriend’s death and fans are expressing a deep concern for the woman who looks “gutted,” reminding her that “it’s not your fault.”

In the months leading up to Liam Payne’s death, the former member of One Direction was jet-setting around the world with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, who he reportedly started dating in October 2022.

The couple traveled to Italy, London and France in August, Greece in September and their last vacation together ended on October 12, when Cassidy, 25, returned home to Florida, leaving Payne behind in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

On October 14, the social media influencer shared a TikTok clip, explaining why she decided to head home.

“I was so ready to leave,” Cassidy said in the video shared October 14. “Honestly, love South America but I hate staying in one place for too long. And we were supposed to be there for, like, five days, turned into two weeks.”

“I was just like, ‘I need to go home…I was so happy to be home.” The social media influencer adds, “It was so relieving.”

Only two days later, her world was completely shattered when the man she loved “unconditionally” plunged to his death from the third-floor balcony of the hotel room he was staying in the Argentinian capital.

Two days after Payne’s October 16 death, Cassidy spoke out for the first time in an Instagram Story.
