On March 20, 2025, Kate Cassidy, Liam Payne’s girlfriend, took to TikTok to share an emotional unboxing video. In this heartfelt clip, she reflected on cherished memories from her time with the late singer.
While sorting through various boxes, Cassidy uncovered a dress she had worn to a wedding alongside Payne. This particular dress sparked a wave of nostalgia and provided her with “so much peace and comfort”due to the significant memories associated with it.
“I opened this box. I’m really trying to pull it together now. I found this dress at the top of the box. And this dress brings me so much peace and comfort because the memory me and Liam had in this dress was just a memory that I will literally never forget.”
Liam Payne, previously a member of One Direction, tragically passed away in October 2024 following a fall from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires. At the time, he and Cassidy had traveled to Argentina to see Niall Horan perform. They enjoyed their time exploring the city together before Cassidy returned to the U.S. mere days before the singer’s untimely death.
“We Just Had the Best Time” —A Glimpse Into Their Wedding Experience
In her TikTok segment, Cassidy highlighted a stunning yellow satin dress that held a profound memory of her and Liam. She mentioned that this dress was not just any garment; it was the first one she wore to a wedding.
“We just had the best time,”she explained.
As she continued to unpack, Cassidy revealed the shoes she donned for the wedding. Pulling out a pair of white Christian Louboutin heels, she shared a humorous recollection about waking up the morning after the wedding to realize her shoes had become quite worn.
At that moment, her shoes appeared “almost new,”yet the soles bore witness to a night filled with dancing. Cassidy fondly remembered how she and Payne had enjoyed themselves by dancing and having fun throughout the celebration.
Initially contemplating tossing the shoes, she was grateful she chose to keep them, as they now represented enduring memories of their beautiful night together.
The couple first sparked romance rumors in October 2022 after they were spotted together at a Halloween party. Their relationship was further confirmed at the British Fashion Awards in December of the same year.
In the hours before his death, Payne posted Snapchat stories illustrating their joyful vacation adventures in Argentina. Following the music event, it was revealed that Cassidy had returned to her home in Florida a few days before the unfortunate incident due to work obligations.
In February 2025, Kate Cassidy spoke with The Sun in her first interview since Liam’s passing. She candidly shared details of their final days together and mentioned returning home to care for their rescue dog, Nala. To aid in coping with her bereavement, Cassidy also disclosed that she has been seeing a counselor.
During a recent appearance on ITV’s morning show Lorraine, Cassidy expressed her ongoing struggle to process Liam’s loss, acknowledging that some days are challenging. Nevertheless, she emphasized the importance of her strong support system during this difficult time.
