Influencer Kate Cassidy has shared her plans to start dating again 18 months on from the tragic accidental death of her One direction star boyfriend Liam Payne
Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy has admitted she wants to start dating again, 18 months on from his death. Kate, 27, was in a relationship with the One direction star for two years before he tragically passed away at the age of 31 in October 2024.
Kate has been very publicly processing her grief since Liam died, after he fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with alcohol and cocaine in his system. She often shares her feelings in social media updates and on Friday, April 24, she admitted she feels it is time to move on.
Speaking on Instagram she said: “I am ready to start dating again. It has been a year and a half since Liam passed away. I think that love after loss is a big chapter within your grief journey and I don’t know how that is going to feel.
“But I do know that I loved being in love. I want to have kids one day, I want to have a family and I know Liam would want that for me and if the roles were reversed I would want him to be happy and fall in love again.”
She continued: “I will always love Liam and that will never change no matter who I meet and who comes into my life. I am going to think about Liam on my wedding day, I am going to think about him everyday for the rest of my life and that goes without saying.”
Kate teased her hope to begin dating again in a TikTok video earlier this month when she tagged the network behind US dating reality series The Bachelorette and asked to be chosen for the show.
Kate danced for the camera in the clip and wrote in the caption: “Heard they’re looking for a new Bachelorette…. hi.”
Kate also previously spoke about love after Liam in another TikTok video where she said: “I want to make something clear. Whoever I end up with in my future will have to accept the fact I will always love Liam.
“I will always talk about Liam I will always laugh about Liam, I will always cry about Liam. Let me tell you something, Liam Payne was my boyfriend. He wasn’t just this famous figure to me.”
She continued: “It hurts so bad because I am just criticised all the time for speaking about my boyfriend that passed away, the person that I loved and still do love. I would never settle for anyone in this lifetime who did not feel comfortable enough with me speaking about Liam.
“Liam was a very big part of my life. He was my best friend, somebody I really thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with and, obviously, I know one day I’m going to have to move on. I want to get married one day. I want to have kids.”
Kate concluded: “When a person dies, they die twice, once when they actually die and the second time when you stop speaking about them. I’m not going to have Liam die twice on me. I will love him forever.”
