Liam Payne<\/a> had died, and says they were in “such a great place” just before he passed away. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Kate Cassidy ‘completely blacked out’ upon being told boyfriend Liam Payne had died<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old influencer discovered the One Direction star – who passed away in October, aged 31, after falling from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires – had died when one of his friends rang her to tell her the devastating news, and she is “blessed” she didn’t find out over social media like many others. <\/p>\n
She told The Sun newspaper: “I feel blessed I didn\u2019t find out over social media because I just couldn\u2019t even imagine that. I was in our home with our dog, scrolling TikTok and one of Liam\u2019s friends called me.<\/p>\n
“That moment, it\u2019s like blank; it\u2019s blacked out in my head.<\/p>\n
“I didn\u2019t believe it at first. I thought it was just a rumour. Or something that somebody made up just to get views. Then instantly I just had a bad feeling in my gut. I was like, \u2018Why would somebody make this up? Is this true?\u2019<\/p>\n
\n“And I feel like I just completely blacked out.”<\/p>\n
\nKate “felt numb” when she “officially” found out Liam had passed away and she tried to call his phone, which she still now rings to listen to his voicemail recording. <\/p>\n
\nSpeaking about her reaction at the time, she said: “I tried to call him. I called pretty much everybody.<\/p>\n
\n“Then I was in touch with his family, and my mum got the first flight out to be with me. <\/p>\n
\nKate had been in Argentina with Liam, but she returned to their Florida home without him to take care of their dog Nala. <\/p>\n
\nBut Kate – who started dating Liam in 2022 – insisted he was in “such a good headspace” when she left the country, and the couple were “in such a great place”. <\/p>\n
\nShe added: “Liam was in such a good headspace when I left Argentina.<\/p>\n
\n“We were in such a great place, just full of love; he was so happy and positive. And I just can\u2019t even believe the way things truly ended.<\/p>\n
\n“It\u2019s genuinely insane to me how things can just be taken away from you so quickly in life, you never truly know what tomorrow will bring, you never know.”<\/p>\n
\nKate – who has since left the pair’s rented Florida mansion and moved back to New Jersey – also told how she can’t listen to Liam’s music now, but hopes to return to his tunes “one day”. <\/p>\n
\nShe recently revealed a new angel wings tattoo on two of her fingers following his tragic death. <\/p>\n
\nKate showed off her new inking as she cuddled up to Nala in a post on her Instagram Story, which was simply captioned with a heart emoji.<\/p>\n
