Kate Cassidy Opens Up About Liam Payne’s Final Days and Why She Left Argentina

Kate Cassidy is speaking out for the first time since the tragic death of her boyfriend, former One Direction member Liam Payne. In an emotional interview with The Sun, Kate shared her heartbreak over losing Liam and revealed why she left him behind in Argentina before his passing.

"It Still Doesn’t Feel Real"

Liam passed away in October 2024, leaving fans around the world in shock. Kate admitted she is still struggling to process the loss. "It still doesn't feel fully real for me that he's not here," she said, adding that she thinks about him "every second of every day."

The couple had been vacationing in Argentina in the weeks leading up to Liam’s death. Kate returned home to Florida to care for their dog, while Liam decided to stay behind. She explained that it wasn’t unusual for them to travel separately and had no idea anything tragic would happen.

How She Found Out

Kate was at home scrolling through TikTok when she received the devastating news from one of Liam’s friends. "I’m just grateful I didn’t find out through social media," she shared. Her immediate reaction? Total shock—she says she blacked out upon hearing what had happened.

Liam’s Final Moments

After Kate left Buenos Aires, Liam reportedly went on a drug and alcohol binge. Days later, he fell to his death from his hotel balcony. Kate insists that if she had known something was wrong, she never would have left his side.
