Liam Payne was planning to marry me, says girlfriend Kate Cassidy

One Direction singer Liam Payne wrote a note to his girlfriend shortly before her death, predicting they would marry within a year, he has revealed.

Kate Cassidy posted a new tribute to him on Wednesday, a week after he died in a fall from a balcony in Argentina aged 31.

“A few weeks ago, we sat outside on a beautiful evening showing off our lives together,” she wrote on Instagram.

“I keep your note close, even though you told me not to look at it. It said, ‘Me and Kate are getting married in a year / engaged and together forever.’

She also posted a series of photos, including one of her handwritten note.

She added: “Liam, I know we’ll be together forever, but not in the way 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.”

Payne had been in a relationship with the American influencer since 2022, and had been with him in South America in the days before he died.

But by the time Payne died on October 16, Cassidy had already left the country.

‘The love of my life’

She began her Instagram message: “I don’t even know where to begin. My heart is broken in ways I can’t put into words.

“I wish you could see the huge impact you’ve had on the world, even if it seems so dark right now. You brought so much happiness and positivity to everyone: millions of fans, your family, friends, and most of all, me. they are so incredibly loved.

“You are, because I can’t say it, my best friend, the love of my life and everyone you touched felt as special as I did. Your energy was contagious, lighting up every room you walked into” .

She continued, “None of this feels real to me, 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, I’m back to be children, always finding joy in the smallest things.

“Liam, you had the kindest soul and the funniest spirit. I feel like I’ve lost the best part of myself. I can’t imagine a day without your laughter and love. You brought so much light into my life. . “

Payne’s sudden death caused great grief for his family, friends and fans around the world.

Her father Geoff is now in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, and authorities are carrying out tests before allowing her body to be returned to the UK.

They are also reviewing phone, computer and security camera evidence to establish the full circumstances surrounding her death.
