Cassidy and Payne were with each other for two years before the former One Direction singer’s death
Kate Cassidy has spoken out about her last conversation with her late boyfriend Liam Payne, just days before his death.
The 31-year-old One Direction star died on October 16, 2024, after falling from a third floor balcony at the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Payne had been in the Argentinian capital as he attended the concert of his former bandmate Niall Horan, and was witnessed dancing at the gig, accompanied by Cassidy.
However, the 26-year-old returned to the US alone two days before his death, while police confirmed in the aftermath of the incident that they were called to the hotel over reports of an ‘aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol’.
Now, while appearing as a guest on the Jay Shetty’s podcast On Purpose with Jay Shetty, she has detailed their last in-person conversation they had together, which she had described as both ‘chilling’ and ‘beautiful’.

“On the last day in Argentina my car was in the driveway and we went back into the guest house grabbed my suitcase and we were sitting on the couch and I just kept going on, and on, and on about how much I love him and how much he means to me, and how much I’m going to miss him and that I can’t wait for him to already be back in Florida,” she shared.
“Because we were starting this new chapter of our life – we just bought a new house, we just got a dog, we just moved to America as well. I mean I was living in England with him for two years, we just moved to my country – it was just all these new beginnings and it was in just such a positive light.
“So I remember sitting there with him and I was going on, and on, and on, and saying to Liam how much I love him.”
Cassidy continued: “He laughed and he interrupted me, and he just said, ‘Kate like you’re going to miss your flight, your car’s in the driveway – you’re acting like this is the last time you’re ever going to see me again’.
“I just laughed back I was just like, ‘I know I’m being silly, I need to get in the car I can’t miss my flight’.
“Just to even look back at it in time and just know that really was the last the last time I was able to see him again, is just so chilling but in a way I think that the way that we said goodbye to each other, I’m so blessed.”
She went on to explain how their ‘heartfelt, beautiful’ farewell helps her get peace from Payne’s death.
Adding: “I’m so glad that we had that last beautiful moment together and shared that.”
