Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy gets ‘angel’ tattoo tribute to late star REMOVED
LIAM Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy has revealed that she’s removing her tattoo tribute to the late star – but later admitted that she will get it redone in the future.
Kate, 27, has had a number permanent reminders in honour of One Direction star Liam, following on from his death on October 16 2024.
Liam died after falling from a hotel balcony while on holiday in Buenos Aires, Argentina, two years ago.
Since then, Kate has had a rose, angel wings, his initials LP and their angel number 444 tattooed on her to remind her of him.
Taking to her Instagram story, the star, who dated Liam for two years before his death, shared a mirror selfie of her in the studio in Miami wearing some safety goggles.
Kate captioned the post: “Tattoo removal today,” with a white love heart emoji.
In the next post she explained: “Decided to get some tattoos removed that were done poorly.
“Will be getting redone eventually.”
In the clip, Kate recorded the tattoo removal technician using their machine to zap away her ‘444’ inking – and the numbers have a special meaning.
Shortly after Liam’s death Kate declared the singer “her guardian angel” as she shared the details of their love letters.
In a heartbreaking tribute, Kate shared notes she found from Liam in which he vowed to marry her within the space of a year.
Throughout the note, which is believed to be a manifestation pledge, he used the number 444 – which has now taken on a deeper, more resonant meaning than either he or Kate could have imagined.
Angel numbers are believed to have mystic vibrational patterns, which help people attune themselves to the universe and what they desire.
It’s a practice that dates back to Ancient Greece, but is still used to this day by many who believe it offers them direction in life, or messages from the spiritual universe.
Kate, 25, revealed in the caption that they had planned their future and he wanted to get married “within a year”.
One photo showed the handwritten note from Liam, in which he wrote: “Me and Kate to marry within a year / engaged and together forever”.
His heartbroken girlfriend also described the singer star as someone who brought happiness to millions.
Calling Liam “the love of my life” and her “best friend,” she wrote in the tribute: “I don’t even know where to begin. My heart is shattered in ways I can’t put into words.
“I wish you could see the huge impact you’ve had on the world, even as it feels so dark right now.
“You brought so much happiness and positivity to everyone-millions of fans, your family, friends, and especially me. You are so incredibly loved.
“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.
“None of this feels real, and I can’t wrap my head around this new reality of not having you here.
“I’m struggling to figure out how to live in a world without you by my side. Together, we got to be kids again, always finding joy in the smallest things.
“Liam, you had the kindest soul and the most fun-loving spirit. It feels like I’ve lost the best part of myself. I can’t imagine a day without your laughter and love. You brought so much light into my life.”
She continued: “A few weeks ago, we sat outside on a beautiful evening manifesting our lives together.
“I keep your note close, even though you told me not to look at it.
“It said, ‘Me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged & together forever 444.’
“Liam, 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.
“I will love you for the rest of my life and beyond, carrying our dreams and memories with me everywhere I go.”
She ended the heartwrenching tribute, writing: “Forever yours, Katelyn 444.”
