Kate Cassidy’s Heartbreak

Kate Cassidy, the girlfriend of late One Direction star Liam Payne, has spoken candidly about her struggle with grief, revealing that “sometimes it’s hard for me to get out of bed.”

Payne, who was 31, died in October last year after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina. His sudden passing sent shockwaves through the music industry and left fans and loved ones in mourning.

In an emotional interview on Lorraine, Cassidy joined the show’s March4March mental health campaign, emphasizing the importance of awareness — something she says Payne was deeply passionate about.

“He was so open about his mental health,” Cassidy shared, explaining that she now feels a responsibility to continue the conversation he can no longer have.

She described her healing journey as an ongoing struggle, admitting that some days feel insurmountable. However, she credits small routines — like walking her dog, Nala — with helping her regain a sense of stability.

Beyond personal grief, Cassidy hopes to help others coping with loss. She spoke about the symbolism of the number four, which she and Payne shared as their “angel numbers,” believing it to be a sign of guidance and protection.

Payne’s legacy was honored at the Brit Awards on Saturday night, a poignant moment for those who knew him best. The singer had previously been open about his battles with mental health and addiction, once describing himself as “quite lucky to be here still.”

Following Payne’s passing, his family issued a heartfelt statement, asking for privacy amid ongoing speculation. Meanwhile, legal proceedings in Argentina continue, with charges dropped against three of the five individuals previously linked to the case.

Despite the pain of loss, Cassidy remains committed to raising awareness, ensuring that others facing similar struggles feel less alone.
