The 29-year-old singer looked lovelier than ever when he was spotted chatting with influencer Kate, 24, as she showed him her phone screen.

The former One Direction star showed off a casual figure in a blue T-shirt as he brushed his long dark locks out of his face.

Meanwhile, Kate looked stunning in a strapless white floral maxi dress and left her long blonde locks loose as the wind blew.

The couple had clearly had a busy day as Liam held two shopping bags.

It comes after Liam has opened up about his mental health, revealing that doctors diagnosed him with “a couple of conditions” after he spent time at a wellness clinic in the US last year after hitting “bottom”.

The singer shared a candid Instagram Stories post Thursday where he said he was having a tough day and family and friends could see he was still struggling.

Liam described ‘manic’ instances in his life and his difficulty staying sober during ‘super low’ times.

In the clip, he admitted to filming the video multiple times before deleting it, before finally deciding the time was right to share his story with fans.

Saying, ‘I mean I filmed a bunch of theses over time and deleted them, but I don’t know if this is the right time.

“I know in my last video I mentioned that I’ve been diagnosed with a couple of conditions and not to go into too much detail, but one of them is that there’s a lot of manic stuff in my life that you guys saw.”

He continued: “But the other side is and that feels like when I would lose my sobriety in these moments that were very low and I felt like that today.”

‘And it’s isolating the two things and seeing them separately and as if you know what they are now.’

Before adding: “Luckily, I have some amazing people around me who look out for me, but I’m sure they can also see in me that ‘I’m not really here.

He captioned the slip: “I’ve shot this same video about 20 times at different times this year and got too scared to turn it off by talking about myself.”

“I’m here to see how lucky I am to be in the position I’m in…and I want to give all of you out there fighting the gift you gave me by sharing some of the things I’ve learned from specialists while I’ve been away.”

‘The first thing I did every day was check in and it’s important that you don’t bottle up how you feel. Feeling is one of the wonderful gifts we had and I blocked things out for so long that I got sick and lashed out… watch it, allow it to happen and let it go.’

Before adding: ‘Hope this helps’.

Liam said he hit rock bottom after appearing on Logan Paul’s podcast in June 2022, apologizing for taking his anger out on everyone else.

He shared a video on his YouTube on Saturday called ‘I’m Back…’, where he opened up about seeking professional help.

Liam thanked his six-year-old son Bear and his ex-girlfriend and Bear’s mother, Cheryl, for supporting his decision to get better.

He added that his former bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik had “stuck on me” and “came to my rescue.”
