Where was Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy before his death?

Liam Payne’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, had just returned to Miami, Florida, two days before the singer’s tragic death. Cassidy had spent two weeks with Payne in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but left early to return home.

Kate Cassidy, who had been dating Liam Payne since 2022, shared on October 14 that she had flown back to Miami after an extended stay in Buenos Aires. Originally, the couple planned a five-day trip, but it unexpectedly stretched into two weeks. Cassidy revealed in a TikTok video that she was eager to leave after the extended trip, stating, “I was so ready to leave. I need to go home.” She admitted she had developed a “weird rash” from anxiety before her flight but was relieved to return to the U.S.

While Cassidy headed back to Miami, Payne chose to stay behind in Argentina. Two days later, on October 16, the former One Direction singer died after falling from a hotel balcony. Police responded to reports of “an aggressive man” who was potentially under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Payne had shared updates from his trip, including enjoying the local scenery and spending time with Cassidy. Their final photo together was posted just hours before his death, showing the pair in swimsuits, ready for a day outdoors.
