Kate Cassidy has shared a heartfelt video marking the one-year anniversary of the tragic passing of Liam Payne. The influencer, 38, posted footage of her final hour with the One Direction star, capturing an emotional moment where Payne playfully lifts her into the air.
### Last Moments Together
Cassidy revealed that the video was taken during the last hour they spent together before Liam’s fatal balcony plunge in Buenos Aires on October 16, 2024. Accompanying the TikTok clip, she wrote:
> “This video was taken during the last hour and last day Liam and I shared in this lifetime. I am forever grateful for the beautiful moments we shared. I will miss you for the rest of my life, Liam.”
Earlier that day, Cassidy also shared a sweet black-and-white photo of the couple in bed, with Payne kissing her cheek. Another image posted on her Instagram Stories showed them wrapped up during a snowy winter break, with Cassidy hugging Payne tightly.
She captioned these memories, saying:
> “Today marks a full year without you here. I will forever hate goodbyes. I miss you, Liam.”
### Heartbreaking Family Tributes
Liam Payne’s younger sister, Ruth, also shared a poignant tribute. Posting a family photo featuring Liam dressed as a pirate, she expressed the deep pain of losing her brother:
> “1 year, 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days… whichever way I say it, it still means the most heartbreaking truth that you’re not here anymore.”
Ruth continued by reflecting on the grief:
> “When you used to go away on tour, and I’d cry that you’d be gone for a while, I always knew you’d come back. But now I can’t get you home, I can’t meet up with you somewhere in the world, I can’t FaceTime or text to see how you’re doing. It’s an eternal homesick feeling because we can’t go back.”
She admitted to underestimating the depth of her grief:
> “I am paralyzed by it daily. I thought I had felt grief before, but I know the losses before you were just intense sadness. You are the loss of my life, the one person who I will miss at every single occasion in my life. I’d taken for granted that my little brother would be there through life. What a cruel lesson to learn in our 30s—that a sibling is not guaranteed to be a lifer, that I have to face this without you.”
Ruth revealed that Liam’s death still “will never make sense” to her and shared how she experiences recurring nightmares reliving his final moments in the hotel room.
Meanwhile, Liam’s older sister Nicola described the loss as a “pain that will never heal.” She posted several intimate photos and spoke about how the family has worked to keep Liam’s memory alive for his eight-year-old son, Bear, so he can “know all about his amazing daddy.”
Nicola also shared how she helps Liam’s niece, Ffion, remember her uncle through heartfelt comparisons, likening him to “a star in the sky,” “a rainbow,” “a butterfly,” and “a cloud.”
