Kate Cassidy has shared what looks like two more tattoo tributes to her late boyfriend, Liam Payne, on TikTok. The update also marks her return to social media, following a three-month break in the aftermath of his tragic death.
Liam, 31, died from a fall at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in October and had been in a relationship with Kate since 2022.
In a TikTok titled 'simple day', she goes through her daily routine including putting makeup on before going to the gym, cooking and getting ready for bed.
During the video, fans spotted the 25-year-old influencer has tattoos of 'LP' on her wrist and '444' on her hands, adding to the angel wings on her left index and middle fingers. The number '444' had special significance to the pair, as it was their 'angel number'.
Hours before his death, Liam shared videos of them together on Snapchat, although Kate had already flown back to the US by the time they were posted. The couple had originally flown to South America to watch Liam's former band mate Niall Horan perform in concert.
A few days after Liam's death, Kate released a statement on Instagram, saying, 'Thank you for all of the kind words and love that has been sent my way. I have been at a complete loss. Nothing about the past few days have felt real. I ask and pray that you'll give me the grace and space to navigate this in private.'
She added, '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.'
Soon after news broke on Liam's death, his bandmates shared their condolences online. 'We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly.
'The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly. We Love you Liam.'
In 2017, he welcomed a son with his then-girlfriend Cheryl. He is survived by his son, his parents, his two older sisters and his girlfriend at the time of his death, Kate Cassidy.
Cheryl, who is the mother of Liam's son Bear, made a plea for people to stop the 'abhorrent reports' around his death.
