Following the One Direction member’s death on October 16, Kate Cassidy said that her “heart is shattered.”
One of the last letters Liam Payne sent before passing away on October 16 is being shared by his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy.
The 25-year-old blogger shared a number of adorable pictures of herself and Payne on Instagram on October 23. She disclosed that she and Payne “manifested our lives together” just a few weeks before to his passing.
She posted a heartfelt statement the musician sent expressing his plans to get married within the year as part of her homage. “Even though you warned me not to look at your note, I keep it close. The message she wrote in the gallery said, “Me and Kate will get married in a year/engaged & together forever 444.” She went on, “My heart is broken in ways I cannot express.” “Even though it feels so bleak right now, I wish you could see the enormous impact you’ve had on the world.”
Cassidy wrote, “You are — because I can’t say were — my sweetheart, my best friend, and everyone you touched felt just as special as I did.” “I can’t comprehend this new reality of not having you here, and none of this feels genuine. I’m having a hard time adjusting to life without you in my life. We were able to relive our childhood together, constantly finding happiness in the little things.
She declared her love for Payne at the end of the post. “Liam, I know we’ll be together forever, but not in the way we had planned,” she said. “You’ll be by my side forever. I have a guardian angel now. I will carry our memories and dreams with me wherever I go, and I will love you for the rest of my life and beyond.”
Her first message, posted on her Instagram Stories on October 18, thanks everyone “for all of the kind words and love that has been sent my way.” This tribute comes after her initial post. Following Payne’s passing, she said she was “at a complete loss” and urged supporters to give her “grace and space to navigate this in private.” To keep informed about the best that PEOPLE has to offer, from captivating human interest stories to celebrity news, subscribe to their free daily email.
In October 2022, Payne and Cassidy were first seen together. Despite largely keeping their relationship out of the public eye, Cassidy gave hints of their affection through a number of informal pictures and TikTok videos that they created together.
Payne passed away on Wednesday, October 16, following a multi-story fall from a balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, according to PEOPLE. A preliminary autopsy report states that the singer died after falling from his balcony and suffering several “internal and external” injuries.
The singer “had multiple substances in his system,” according to ABC News, following a partial autopsy on Monday, October 21. According to the National Capital Poison Centre, “pink cocaine” is a combination drug that contains methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA, and caffeine, though it may not always contain cocaine.
Geoff Payne, Liam Payne’s father, is now assisting Argentine authorities in their investigation into Payne’s death as of Oct. 23.
