The 25-year-old influencer was pictured with the late One Direction singer in his final Snapchat post, which was shared just minutes before his tragic death after falling from his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at around 5 p.m. local time on Wednesday.
Payne and Cassidy had been an inseparable couple for around two years before his story came to a shocking end.
Despite some bumps along the road, the two appear to have been together until Payne’s final moments.
Now DailyMail.com takes a look at Payne’s final girlfriend Kate Cassidy as his song ends on a minor key.

She has her own career as an influencer
Cassidy was prepared for the spotlight that her romance with Liam brought thanks to her own career as an influencer and social media star.
Cassidy, who was born in New Jersey, had prepared for a career by attending Coastal Carolina University, which she graduated from in 2021.
She later relocated to London, but the globetrotting beauty regularly treated her 109K Instagram followers to stunning views of her trips across the world.
She has posted herself in sizzling outfits at Italy’s Lake Como, in Milan, Paris, St. Tropez, Rome and Spain, among other glamorous locales.
Last year, the two made a show-stopping appearance together at the Wimbledon tennis championships.
Liam also occasionally joined his girlfriend on her Instagram page, though he was a rare sight.
Her new profile also put her in the orbit of other stars aside from her famous boyfriend, including the model and reality star Kendall Jenner.

The former One Direction member’s death came just around two years after he and Cassidy began their relationship.
DailyMail.com published photos of the two together for the first time.
They appeared to be having a great time for Halloween festivities in which she dressed up for the big night as Pamela Anderson, while Payne showed off a bevy of tattoos in a white tank top to transform into her rocker ex-husband Tommy Lee.
Cassidy made it clear she was ready to go Instagram official with the pop superstar when she also posted a photo of their costume on Instagram.
Payne was moving on with the blond bombshell just six months after the tumultuous end of his engagement to Maya Henry.
Earlier this year, Henry reignited their conflicts when she published a novel with thinly veiled characters appearing to stand in for herself and Payne, with his book avatar urging the female lead to get an abortion after she got pregnant.
Then, just two days before his death, Henry sent a cease-and-desist letter to Payne to prevent his alleged attempts to repeatedly contact her. She also accused him of ‘weaponizing’ his fans against her in the missive.
A month after Payne and Cassidy made their public debut, they made it clear that the relationship was serious when he appeared again on her Instagram in a post documenting her trip to Rome.
