Kate Cassidy reveals why she is ‘icked out’ by dating after boyfriend Liam Payne’s death

Kate Cassidy confessed that she can’t help but compare men to her late boyfriend Liam Payne.

The 27-year-old influencer dated the former One Direction singer for two years until his tragic death at the age of 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina in 2024.

Kate said in a TikTok post, “I compare literally everyone to my late partner, for anybody that’s new here I lost my partner a year and a half ago and he kind of hit every single box on the check list.”

The influencer explained how she was “icked out” when her date forced a friend who accompanied them to pay her own bill.

Cassidy said, “I was icked out, Liam never did that, ever, some of these men are like pulling teeth.”

The social media personality has been open about her grief for the Strip That Down artist but revealed last month that she was ready to begin dating once again.

In an Instagram video, she said, “I am ready to start dating again. It has been a year and a half since Liam passed away.”

Kate continued, “I think that love after loss is a big chapter within your grief journey and I don’t know how that is going to feel. But I do know that I loved being in love.”

“I want to have kids one day, I want to have a family and I know Liam would want that for me and if the roles were reversed I would want him to be happy and fall in love again. I will always love Liam and that will never change no matter who I meet and who comes into my life,” she added.

“I am going to think about Liam on my wedding day, I am going to think about him everyday for the rest of my life and that goes without saying,” Kate Cassidy said of how her love for Liam Payne would live on with her.
