Maya Henry, Liam Payne’s ex-fiancée, once shared a heartfelt response after photos surfaced of him with another woman. The images, posted by a fan account of One Direction, showed Payne with his arms around a woman, and the account tagged Henry in the post. In response, she publicly pleaded with fans to stop sending her the images, saying it was already hard enough to deal with the situation without seeing it online.
At the time, she referred to Payne as her fiancé, though it was later confirmed that the couple had broken up in April 2022. Their split wasn’t the first—reports from 2021 indicated they had separated earlier that year as well.
Payne and Henry began dating in 2018 and got engaged in 2020. However, their relationship faced ups and downs, with Payne admitting during a June 2021 podcast that he struggled with relationships and needed to focus on improving himself. Despite a brief reunion and vacation together in 2021, the couple officially parted ways in 2022.
Following their breakup, Payne started a relationship with Kate Cassidy, but tragically, he passed away at the age of 31 in Octobe
