LIAM PAYNE 'I'M NOT TO BLAME'

KATE CASSIDY SPEAKS OUT ABOUT THE SHOCKING AND TRAGIC LOSS OF HER MUSICIAN BOYFRIEND LAST YEAR

- Kylie Walters

Just a few months ago, Kate Cassidy was having the time of her life as she enjoyed long, carefree and sun-soaked days in Argentina with boyfriend Liam Payne. But the good times were about to come to an abrupt halt. Everything changed in an instant for the influencer after the singer plunged to his death at the age of 31 from a hotel balcony on October 16.

“It still doesn’t feel fully real for me that he’s not here,” Cassidy, 25, told British newspaper The Sun in her first interview since the tragic news made headlines. “I’m trying to be the best I can be, but I feel like my life has changed so much. I think about Liam every second of every day.”

The couple had been on vacation in Buenos Aires in the days leading up to Payne’s death. Cassidy had jetted back to their home and pet dog Nala in Florida a few days early, leaving the musician alone.
