Liam Payne’s heartbroken girlfriend Kate Cassidy packs up what’s left of their life together and leaves their home as she faces life without the love of her life

Liam Payne’s heartbroken girlfriend packed the remains of her shattered life into cardboard boxes as she faced an uncertain future – just days after saying her final goodbyes to the superstar singer.

Heartbroken Kate Cassidy, 25, appeared close to tears after gathering her belongings as she left the property where she had been living in the aftermath of the tragedy.

A forlorn-looking Kate stood in the street surrounded by her belongings after leaving the modern high-rise apartment believed to have belonged to her late partner.

At one point, the American model and influencer was spotted tightly clutching a stuffed animal – a colorful squishmallow that was too big to pack in her luggage – it seemed like a treasured memento of the couple’s time together.

She was greeted by a friend who helped her load piles of boxes and suitcases into a rented van before leaving for an unknown destination.

Neighbors said Kate would have to rely on the generosity of friends to give her shelter as she prepares to fly back to the US to spend Christmas with her family.

She flew to Britain the day after tragedy struck when Liam plunged to his death from the balcony of his third-floor hotel suite in Buenos Aires, Argentina, last month.

Just weeks ago, Kate and Liam, 31, were planning their future together.

The couple, who have been dating for two years, had been in Argentina to attend former bandmate Horan’s sold-out concert in the city.

Kate flew back to the couple’s Miami home on October 14, while Liam stayed behind to renew his US visa.

Following the tragedy, Kate traveled to Britain to join Liam’s family and close friends at an emotional funeral service at the 12th century St Mary’s Church in Amersham, Buckinghamshire.

The pop star was laid to rest after his coffin was driven to the church in a white horse-drawn hearse.

His One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson were among the mourners.

They were united in grief as they appeared together in public for the first time since the band split in 2015.

Former Girls Aloud star Cheryl, mother of Liam’s seven-year-old son Bear, was also in attendance.

Kate, a university graduate, had previously lived in Liam’s £3.25million five-bedroom mansion in the Buckinghamshire countryside.

The property – which Liam bought to be close to his ex Cheryl and their son – had been on the market in the weeks before the tragedy.

It came as the couple made plans for their new life in America after making their home in a spectacular rented £1.4 million Spanish-style mansion near Miami, Florida.

Following Liam’s death, Kate revealed in an emotional social media post how they had mapped out their future together, with Liam laying out his hopes that they would get married in the coming months and be together ‘forever’ in a touching handwritten note.

Kate posted a series of heartwarming photos highlighting their adventures and opened up about how she had ‘lost the best part of myself’ following the singer’s death.

Kate wrote: ‘I don’t even know where to start. My heart is broken in ways I can’t put into words.

“I wish you could see the tremendous impact you’ve had on the world, even though it feels so dark right now.

“You have brought so much happiness and positivity to everyone – millions of fans, your family, friends and especially me.

‘You are so incredibly loved. You are – because I can’t say you are – my best friend, the love of my life, and everyone you touched felt as special as I did.

“Your energy was contagious and lit up every room you entered.

“None of this feels real, and I can’t wrap my head around this new reality of you not being here. I’m struggling to figure out how to live in a world without you by my side.

‘Together we had to be children again, who always found joy in the smallest things.

“Liam, you had the kindest soul and the most cheerful 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.’

Cassidy added, “A few weeks ago we sat outside on a beautiful evening and manifested our lives together.

“I’ll keep your note handy even though you told me not to look at it.

It read: ‘Kate and I will be married within a year/engaged and together forever 444’.

“Liam, I know we will be together forever, but not in the way we planned.

‘You will always be with me. I got a guardian angel.

“I will love you for the rest of my life and beyond and carry our dreams and memories with me wherever I go.”

The couple first started dating in October 2022 and made their red carpet debut at the Fashion Awards later that year.

Kate had helped Liam get his life back on track as he planned to relaunch his career.

Last year, Liam opened up about his mental health, revealing that doctors diagnosed him with ‘a few conditions’ after he hit ‘rock bottom’ and spent some time in a wellness clinic in the US.

He was later forced to cancel a South American tour after being hospitalized with a kidney infection.

Liam previously opened up about how he struggled with alcoholism at the height of his success with One Direction.
