Watch: Kate Cassidy Reveals Her and Liam Payne Planned to Get Married Before His Tragic Death

Love you goodbye.

Kate Cassidy shared a video tribute to late boyfriend Liam Payne Dec. 8, marking her first TikTok post since the One Direction member's Oct. 16 death at the age of 31.

The influencer posted a montage of short clips from throughout her two-year relationship with Liam set to "Fade Into You" by Mazzy Star on TikTok Dec. 8 including many of them laughing with one another at home, traveling together, cuddling in bed, sharing a kiss at Disneyland and dancing.

At one point, Liam can be seen making a sketch of Kate. During another, he hilariously tries to fit himself into a suitcase and, in one particularly sweet moment, Kate reveals a sweet note he wrote her along with a milkshake that said, "[Let us] always be together, I love you."

The 25-year-old, who hadn't posted on TikTok since Oct. 14, first spoke out two days after Liam's fatal fall from a hotel balcony in Argentina.

Liam Payne's Death: Everything We Know

"Thank you for all the kind words and love that has been sent my way," Kate wrote in an Oct. 18 Instagram Stories post. "I have been at a complete loss. Nothing about the past few days have felt real. I ask and pray that you give me the grace and space to navigate this in private."

"You are everything," she noted. "I want you to know I loved you unconditionally and completely. I will continue to love you for the rest of my life. I love you Liam."

The content creator had been vacationing in Argentina with Liam for two weeks but had flown back home to London Oct. 12.

Kate, who attended the "Strip That Down" singer's funeral alongside his former bandmates, further honored her late boyfriend with a longer tribute a week later in which she revealed that they had made a commitment to marry one another in the future.

"A few weeks ago, we sat outside on a beautiful evening manifesting our lives together," Kate said on Instagram Oct. 23. "I keep your note close, even though you told me not to look at it. It said, 'Me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged & together forever 444.'"

"Liam, I know we’ll be together forever, but not in the way we had planned," she added. "You’ll always be with me. I’ve gained a guardian angel. I will love you for the rest of my life and beyond, carrying our dreams and memories with me everywhere I go."

Kate continued of her late love, "I want you to know I loved you unconditionally and completely. I will continue to love you for the rest of my life. I love you Liam."

Her Forever Partner

In an additional heartbreaking tribute, shared just one week after the “For You” singer’s death, Kate reflected on how he will always be with her. 

"Liam, I know we’ll be together forever, but not in the way we had planned," she wrote. "You’ll always be with me. I’ve gained a guardian angel. I will love you for the rest of my life and beyond, carrying our dreams and memories with me everywhere I go."

Lasting Love

Within the tribute, the 25-year-old also shared that that she and Liam had looking toward their future and he had written about his plans to marry her. 

"A few weeks ago, we sat outside on a beautiful evening manifesting our lives together," Kate wrote. "I keep your note close, even though you told me not to look at it. It said, 'Me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged & together forever 444.'"
