Liam Payne’s girlfriend is grieving her insurmountable loss.
Kate Cassidy, who had dated the One Direction singer since 2022, shared a tribute to the musician following his Oct. 16 death at age 31.
“Thank you for all the kind words and love that has been sent my way,” she wrote in an Oct. 18 Instagram Stories post. “I have been at a complete loss. Nothing about the past few days have felt real. I ask and pray that you give me the grace and space to navigate this in private.”
Kate went on to call the singer her “angel.”
“You are everything,” she noted. “I want you to know I loved you unconditionally and completely. I will continue to love you for the rest of my life. I love you Liam.”
Kate had been vacationing with Liam in Argentina for two weeks before his passing, though their trip was originally only scheduled for about five days. She ultimately flew out of the country on Oct. 12, sharing on TikTok that she felt a “need” to go home to Florida while he remained in South America.
“I was so ready to leave,” she said in an Oct. 14 TikTok video. “Honestly, love South America but I hate staying in one place for too long.”
The 25-year-old added in the caption, “soooo happpiii to b back in sunshine state.”
During their travels, the pair had attended concerts, enjoyed bowling dates and tried local cuisine—including Argentine Chinese food and Wagyu steak, as well as indulged in their favorite treats like McDonald’s, Oreos and Skittles, as Kate shared in her TikTok vlogs.
