Kate Cassidy has marked her first birthday since the tragic passing of her boyfriend, former One Direction star Liam Payne, with a touching tribute that hasn’t gone unnoticed by fans.
In a heartfelt TikTok video posted on her birthday, Kate, 26, is seen lighting a candle perched on a stack of pancakes and whipped cream. Dressed casually and makeup-free, she wore a collection of silver rings — one of which featured the letter “L,” believed by many to be a subtle nod to Liam.
Fans quickly picked up on the delicate tribute. “The ring [crying emojis],” one follower commented, while another added, “He blew out the candle for you,” referencing the moment the flame suddenly extinguished on camera, which many interpreted as a spiritual sign from Liam.
Kate also shared a previously unseen photo of her and Liam together, alongside a personal message thanking fans for their continued support.
“I just wanted to come on here and say thank you so much for all the kind words once again that have been sent my way because it does not go unnoticed or unseen,” she said.
“As I navigate this next chapter of my life without Liam, it’s just, I don’t even know what to say. It’s really kind seeing the support and love that has been sent my way.”
Liam Payne died in October last year at the age of 31 after a tragic fall from a hotel balcony in Argentina. His untimely passing shocked the world and left fans and loved ones mourning the loss of one of pop music’s most beloved figures.
Kate’s quiet but powerful tribute was a reminder of the deep bond the couple shared and the continued presence Liam holds in her life.
