Singer LIAM PAYNE's girlfriend, KATE CASSIDY, reveals he gave her a note before he died revealing his plans to marry her

Thursday, October 24, 2024 - Liam Payne's girlfriend has paid a heartbreaking tribute to her late boyfriend, revealing that they were planning to get married within the year.

The former One Direction singer fell 45ft to his death from a hotel balcony in Argentina last Wednesday at the age of 31.

In a new and emotional tribute to the late One Direction star, via her official Instagram account, Cassidy revealed the future plans she had made with her boyfriend.

"I don't even know where to begin. My heart is shattered in ways I can't put into words. I wish you could see the huge impact you've had on the world, even as it feels so dark right now. You brought so much happiness and positivity to everyone-millions of fans, your family, friends, and especially me. You are so incredibly loved,” she penned in her tear-jerking note that was paired with a carousel of memorable photos she had with Payne.

Cassidy continued, "You are because I can't say were-my best friend, the love of my life, and everyone you touched felt just as special as I did. Your energy was contagious, lighting up every room you walked into. None of this feels real, and I can't wrap my head around this new reality of not having you here. I'm struggling to figure out how to live in a world without you by my side. Together, we got to be kids again, always finding joy in the smallest things.”

"A few weeks ago, we sat outside on a beautiful evening manifesting our lives together. I keep your note close, even though you told me not to look at it. It said, 'Me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged & together forever 444.' Liam, I know we'll be together forever, but not in the way we had planned. You'll always be with me. I've gained a guardian angel,” she further noted.

"I will love you for the rest of my life and beyond, carrying our dreams and memories with me everywhere I go. Forever yours, Katelyn 444,” Cassidy wrote, as she signed off.

Ms Cassidy, 25, left Argentina two days before Liam's death in Buenos Aires, where they had originally flown to watch his former bandmate Niall Horan's concert on October 4.

The former One Direction star fell from the third floor of the Casa Sur Palmero hotel in a tragedy which is being treated as an 'inconclusive death'.

A post-mortem examination has determined that he died from multiple injuries.

Kate and Liam first started dating in October 2022, and made their red carpet debut at the Fashion Awards later that year.
