Meet Liam Payne's girlfriend, Kate Cassidy
Kate Cassidy and Liam Payne were first spotted together in October 2022. Two months later, they made a public appearance on the red carpet. The couple frequently shared glimpses of their happy relationship on social media.
Kate Cassidy graduated from Coastal Carolina University in 2021 and has since become a successful influencer, boasting over 250,000 followers on Instagram (as of October 2024). She regularly shares updates about her travels, including high-profile events like Wimbledon.
Relationship resilience amid rumours
Break-up rumors surfaced in May 2023, but the couple managed to overcome them. Liam Payne expressed his deep love for Kate in an Instagram story, addressing a hate message that claimed she was only with him for his money.
He stated, "I've never felt a love like I do for Katelyn. We make each other better people [...] If it was just for the money I'd give her all of it. It's not though [...]. And I don't give a f*** to say that for the first time in my life I'm happy to be me and that's priceless."
Before Kate Cassidy, Liam Payne had relationships with Cheryl Cole and Maya Henry, among others, and shares a child with Cheryl.
