Kate Cassidy has officially shattered the Internet’s collective heart into a million little pieces (again), this time with a new TikTok video honoring her late boyfriend, Liam Payne.
The former One Direction singer tragically passed away on October 16, leaving fans, friends, and family devastated. Kate, a 25-year-old influencer known for her online presence and enviable style, had taken a hiatus from TikTok—because who’s in the mood for trending dance challenges when your soulmate is gone?
But on Sunday (December 8), Kate returned to the platform, dropping a compilation video that could only be described as “a highlight reel of love and feels.” The video, captioned simply, “I love you,” showcased moments from their life together that could make even the iciest of hearts melt faster than an ice cream cone on a summer day.
The clips featured the couple doing everyday couple-y things: going bowling (cue the debate on who got more strikes), Liam pulling Kate across the floor at home (a romantic or comedic moment, depending on how you look at it), and a whole lot more that screams, “We were disgustingly adorable together.”
If you’re wondering, “Wait, didn’t she already post something about him?”—you’re correct. Back in October, Kate poured her heart out in an Instagram Story shortly after Liam’s passing, sharing her grief and love. She had just returned from Argentina, where she spent a couple of weeks with him before the tragic news.
Fast forward to late November, and Liam’s funeral was held. Kate attended the solemn event with her good friend Damian Hurley (yes, the Damian Hurley—Liz Hurley’s son and walking proof that genetics sometimes play favorites). Together, they supported each other during the emotional day.
This new TikTok tribute is a bittersweet reminder of the love they shared, with glimpses of their playful and sweet dynamic. It’s a poignant celebration of Liam’s life, proving that love can transcend even the hardest goodbyes. Now, excuse us while we grab some tissues and cry into our snack of choice.
