Kate Cassidy, the One Direction actress’s girlfriend, is slowly moving on from the tragic death of Late Liam Payne as she grieves and cautiously considers dating once more.
Kate Cassidy, the former girlfriend of late One Direction star Liam Payne, is gradually rebuilding her life a year after his death. Payne, 31, died on October 16, 2024, after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
A subsequent toxicology report revealed that alcohol, cocaine, and prescription antidepressants were in his system at the time. Cassidy, 26, struggled with severe depression following the tragedy, experiencing days when she would not even smile or leave her home.
A friend has now stated that “She was definitely not okay for a long time.” “I literally didn’t see her smile for months, but I was seeing her every day.”
She didn’t even seem like herself because it was so troubling. She abruptly ended many hangouts and appeared to be almost recluse, they continued.

According to the insider, Cassidy is now reportedly open to dating again and spending more time with friends, even though she is going along slowly.
She’s open to dating again, even though she’s not yet fully engaged, her friend told Daily Mail. She is now progressing. She is aware of what he would have desired.
After months of silence, Cassidy has also resumed posting on social media, sharing more upbeat content and fun-loving photos.
She is also disguising claims made by former CasaSur Palermo Hotel server Braian Nahuel Paiz, 25, who claimed to have spent several hours with Payne while he was unconscious the day before his death.
Paiz did not make up her sexual allegations, and Cassidy’s friend has since stated that she is unfazed by the speculation.
Kate’s friend said, “Kate doesn’t pay any attention to them.” She is aware of the excellent food Liam and her husband had. How she feels about Liam is unaffected by what transpired after she left Argentina.
She’s ignoring it, they continued, “she’s ignoring whatever that guy says happened, because it doesn’t affect her.”
At a National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) event on October 6 in front of the media, Cassidy stated in a statement: “I was always kind of just kind of doing nothing and just dealing with that grief and pain.”
Simply put, I didn’t want to live my life for the long term. I finally came to the realization, “OK, I need to live my life, I need to get up and get out of bed.” “
She continued, explaining that she began by making small changes, setting alarms for each day, exercising, eating well, and living her life in memory of Payne.
Despite her efforts to move forward, Cassidy has faced criticism for some Instagram posts, including a recent video showing her being hoisted onto the shoulders of two men, with some fans calling it disrespectful.
Her friend defended her, saying, “This is her beginning to smile once more.” The old Kate is returning in this image. This is what he would want for her, she knows, and everyone who knew Liam knows that.
