Kate Cassidy, the girlfriend of the late Liam Payne, has unveiled a new tattoo tribute two months after the former One Direction member’s tragic passing. On December 22, 2024, Cassidy shared a photo on her Instagram Stories featuring angel wings inked on her index and middle fingers.

Liam Payne, aged 31, died on October 16, 2024, after falling from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Following the incident, she expressed her grief on social media, referring to Payne as her “angel” and stating, “I have been at a complete loss. Nothing about the past few days have felt real.”

In the weeks following Payne’s passing, Cassidy attended his funeral on November 20, alongside his former bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and Niall Horan. She also shared a heartfelt video tribute on TikTok, showcasing cherished moments from their relationship, accompanied by the song “Fade Into You” by Mazzy Star. In the caption, she simply wrote, “I love you.”

The angel wings tattoo appears to be a personal homage to Payne, symbolizing the deep bond they shared. Cassidy’s recent social media posts reflect her ongoing mourning and the ways she is choosing to honor his memory.
