In one video, Payne jokingly narrated their late breakfast, calling the scene “the breakfast table, just enjoying breakfast and coffee, even though it's 1pm.” Kate humorously chimed in, referring to their lazy start as being "losers."

Liam’s sudden death marks a devastating end to their relationship, which began in October 2022 and saw the couple attending various red-carpet events, including the premiere of 'All of Those Voices,' a documentary by Payne’s former bandmate Louis Tomlinson.

Liam Payne, the beloved former One Direction singer, has tragically passed away at the age of 31 after falling from the balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The incident occurred on Wednesday evening at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel, where he had been staying since arriving in the country for a brief vacation.

Sources close to the situation revealed that Payne had initially traveled to Argentina with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, on September 30.

The couple shared several joyful moments on social media before Cassidy departed the country on October 14th, leaving Payne behind.

Witnesses report Liam Payne’s erratic behavior before fatal fall

Eyewitness accounts suggest that Payne displayed erratic behavior in the hotel lobby earlier in the day. Reports indicate that hotel staff called 911 to report an "aggressive" male shortly before the incident. Witnesses noted that he had smashed his laptop and required assistance to return to his room.

Tragically, just after 5pm local time, Liam fell from the third floor of the hotel. Emergency responders arrived at the scene, where his body was found on the deck surrounded by tables and chairs, clearly displaying his recognizable tattoos.

Authorities have since covered the area with a red tent as they investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.

Payne had recently reunited with his former One Direction bandmates at a Niall Horan concert earlier in the month, reminiscing about their time together in one of the world's most popular boy bands.
