Kate Cassidy is honoring late boyfriend Liam Payne on what would have been his 32nd birthday.
On Thursday (August 28), Kate, 26, took to Instagram to pen an emotional tribute to the One Direction singer on his birthday while sharing several photos of the two of them together.
“My dearest Liam, It breaks my heart being that I can’t hand you a physical birthday card today,” Kate began. “That I can’t hear your laugh, or tell you all the things I wish I’d said a thousand more times.

Liam tragically died in October 2024 after falling from the balcony of his hotel room in Argentina. According to a toxicology report, he had traces of various drugs in his system at the time.
Kate went on, “I hope you know how brightly you still shine, even from up there. I would give up years of my life just to give you a few more. I miss making memories with you. I miss having things to look forward to together.
“But today, my birthday gift to you is my strength,” Kate concluded. “I promise you I will celebrate you extra today, honor your life, and cherish the beautiful times we’ve had. August 29th will be a date that sits in my heart for the rest of my life. I love you so much. Yours, Katelyn.”
In an interview from earlier this year, Kate recalled the moment she learned that Liam had passed away.
