Kate Cassidy was by Liam Payne ’s side in the time leading up to his sudden death. In the weeks before the One Direction alum’s death after falling from a third-story balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Oct. 16, his girlfriend of two years had been documenting their travels around the world.
The duo spent time in France in late August to attend a wedding , with Cassidy, 25, sharing a TikTok video of the two dancing in a bathroom in their formal attire. She subsequently shared glimpses of their trips to the French capital as well as Costa Navarino in Greece the following month. Beyond the glamorous locations, she shared a TikTok of their travel meals, noting that she was "always eating good.
" In her Oct. 12 post, set to Chris Isaak 's 1989 hit ballad "Wicked Game," she included a shot of Payne sitting beside a resealable package of Skitters and images of more food, including platters of sushi, and Wagyu beef as well as some McDonalds. In the two weeks before his death, Payne and Cassidy had spent time in Buenos Aires, where they saw performances by the singer's One Direction bandmate Niall Horan as well as Paul McCartney .
During their most recent trip, Cassidy gushed about the quality time with Payne, sharing a picture of the “Strip That Down” singer on horseback alongside the caption, "I am very grateful for the simple things in life." Cassidy ultimately left Argentina on Oct. 12 while Payne remained behind.
"I was so ready to leave," she explained in an Oct. 14 TikT.
