Giving her followers glimpses of the wonderful life she and the late “Teardrops” artist experienced, Cassidy’s images displayed the couple embarking on adventures.

From enjoying some time out in nature to snuggling up amid a snowy atmosphere, her photos radiated nothing but pure love and happiness.

She then divulged, “You are — because I can’t say were — my best friend, the love of my life, and everyone you touched felt just as special as I did. Your energy was contagious, lighting up every room you walked into.”

She also referenced a note he gave her and said, “I know we’ll be together forever, but not in the way we had planned. You’ll always be with me. I’ve gained a guardian angel.”

Another standout image shows a playful Payne, who sported pink Mickey Mouse ears, giving a cheeky wink to the camera while sticking his tongue out. Next to him was his beloved girlfriend, who flashed a sweet smile.

The seventh carousel photo showed Cassidy and Payne giving their cute dog some love while he wagged his tail in delight, with Payne giving him a playful bite on his right ear.

Cassidy caressed Payne’s face as he smiled at the camera while dressed in a jacket with a hoodie featured in another photo.

Then came the letter that Cassidy had received from her dearly missed boyfriend. “*me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged & 2gether 4ever 444,” reads the note that was written in pencil. Accompanying this were two cards — one had the number “444” written on it while the other showed a drawing of a rose.

“In simple [sic] sense, the number 444 reminds you that your angels are always there to support you. When you see this number you will be assured that you are protected and loved by the angels,” states the text written in the image.

After sharing how living a life in public made dating hard for him, Payne disclosed, “I’m kind of at the place in my life now where I just realized it’s not worth sacrificing my happiness because somebody might see something. I don’t have anything to hide. I’m really happy right now. Things are good.”

From the words Cassidy shared about Liam Payne and their love story, it’s clear that their relationship was also special and filled with deep affection like the relationship he described in 2019.

She, along with two friends, went out to pick up some pet supplies in Florida, which prompted several reactions from netizens.

The 25-year-old influencer kept things casual, donning an oversized graphic T-shirt, gray sweatpants, and slides, with her hair loosely cascading down her face. Her friends matched her laid-back vibe, as they were similarly dressed in oversized tees and sweats.

“My heart is breaking for her…she looks so exhausted,” commented one spectator. Another noted, “She is devestated [sic] and heartbroken at the same time. I can’t even imagine what she is feeling.”

People also urged the paparazzi to “let people mourn in peace.” One user expressed their sorrow, writing, “So sad to lose someone you love.” This individual revealed their own experience with loss, and added, “prayers to her and the family.”

Someone else shared, “My heart just breaks for her💔.” “I can’t even imagine how broken she is. So much happened in such a short time,” remarked another person. Many also continued to note how “gutted” Cassidy looked.

One observer commented, “She looks sad; the guilt she must be feeling right now, wouldn’t have left him alone and even more so in those distressing circumstances!” Another added, “She looks miserable. Prayers for her and the guilt she must be feeling.”

Although his death was initially surrounded by mystery, it was later reported that he was under the influence of potent drugs. Taking to social media on Friday (October 18), Cassidy reportedly paid tribute to Payne, with whom she lived in Florida.

In her since-expired Instagram Story, she expressed her gratitude for the kind words and love she had received and mentioned that she feels completely lost. Cassidy also noted how nothing about the recent days felt real and requested grace and space to navigate her grief privately.
