Liam Payne’s girlfriend ‘still in shock and disbelief’ over his devastating death

A close source to Liam Payne’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, says the influencer is still “in shock and disbelief” nearly a month after the singer’s death.
The 25-year-old TikTok star had been in a relationship with the One Direction member since 2022.
The pair first met at a bar in Charleston, South Carolina where Kate was working as a waitress at the time.
Love bloomed after Kate served Liam’s table for the night, and the pair soon became an item.
Liam even wrote in a recent note to his girlfriend that he wanted to get engaged or marry her within the next year during one night when the couple spent manifesting their goals for the future.
She says she still carries it with her as preparations for the 31-year-old’s funeral are underway in the UK.
Although it has not been confirmed, it is believed that the singer’s funeral will take place in his native Wolverhampton sometime within the next few weeks.
Liam’s final send-off is expected to be held near his childhood home at either St. Peter’s or St Paul’s Church in Pendeford.

The source explained: “She’s still in shock and disbelief. It’s been a very difficult time for her. Kate is trying her best to process everything and surround herself with loved ones. She is trying to be involved in plans to honor and remember Liam’s life and memory.”
In a heartbreaking post, Kate shared never-before-seen photos of her time with Liam. She captioned the Instagram photos: “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 and together forever 444.”
Labeling the popstar as the “love of her life,” she wrote: “Liam, I know we’ll be together forever, but not in the way that we planned. You’ll always be with me. I’ve gained a guardian angel. I will love you for the rest of my life and beyond, carrying our dreams and memories with me wherever I go. Forever yours, Katelyn, 444.”
She explained the significance of the numbers, saying: “In a simple sense, the number 444 reminds you that your angels are always there to support you. When you see this number you will be reassured that you are protected and loved by the angels.”
