The 54-year-old supermodel responded to Nicole Scherzinger\u2019s heartfelt tribute to Payne on Friday, Oct. 25, with a simple but powerful message: \u201c\ud83d\udd4a\ufe0f\ud83d\udc94\ud83d\udd4a\ufe0f\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffe.\u201d Scherzinger\u2019s post on Instagram honored Payne, who died on Oct. 16, at the age of 31 after a tragic accident at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Payne reportedly fell multiple stories, and the Polic\u00eda Federal Argentina confirmed his death.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Naomi Campbell on Liam Payne\u2019s death:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scherzinger, 46, shared in her post the deep bond she had with Payne, recalling how their friendship began when Payne was a teenager and just entering the spotlight as part of the globally successful boy band, One Direction, formed on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The X Factor<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. In her touching tribute, Scherzinger reflected, \u201cDear Liam, I will forever cherish and treasure the time we shared together,\u201d recalling how they remained friends up until recent weeks. She expressed gratitude for their shared passion for music and the conversations they had, adding, \u201cIt\u2019s been so hard to process that you\u2019re no longer here \u2026 I will \u2018miss you\u2019 my friend and carry you in my heart.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Campbell and Payne were first rumored to be romantically involved in early 2019. Speculation began when the two attended several events together, such as a Formula E event in Hong Kong and the National Portrait Gallery in London, although they were not photographed together at either event. Their public exchange of compliments on social media in early 2019 also fueled rumors. Campbell commented \u201cBeautiful soul\u201d on a photo of Payne, to which he later responded, calling her \u201cPerfection in a person.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both maintained their privacy regarding the rumored romance. When questioned by host Andy Cohen about the relationship on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Watch What Happens Live<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Payne chose to \u201cplead the fifth,\u201d playfully asserting his right to privacy. Similarly, Campbell declined to comment on the matter when asked on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Jonathan Ross Show<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Campbell and Payne were first rumored to be romantically involved in early 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":433,"featured_media":57960,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[19834,18821,21748,21898],"class_list":["post-57951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-liam-payne","tag-naomi-campbell","tag-nicole-scherzinger","tag-the-jonathan-ross-show"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/433"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
