However, in May 2023, the couple sparked breakup rumors, with a source telling US Weekly: “Liam and Kate have broken up.”
The couple then put split rumors to rest by enjoying a date night in London in June 2023, and later that year she supported him when he was rushed to hospital with a “serious kidney infection.”
The former One Direction star fell from the third floor of the Casa Sur Palmero hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday.
She had recently told on TikTok how the couple met in California and how their meeting almost never happened because she had desperately tried to leave work that night.
She said: ‘I worked in a bar/lounge called Ritual. All my friends and I worked there, it was only my second week on the job and I didn’t want to work every weekend.
‘They gave me a schedule for the second week and I really wanted to go out. I tried everything in my power to get off and nothing worked.

“On the way to work, my manager texted me and said, ‘Liam Payne from One Direction is here, you’re going to take care of him tonight.'”
Kate admitted she was “scared” when she had to approach Liam’s table and ended up chickening out at first.
She said: ‘When I first approached him I got nervous, stopped and turned around. I guess we made awkward eye contact for a second.
‘We talked about it because he said to (his friend) Conor: “Oh my God, did you see that girl walking over here? I’m not leaving this bar until I get her number.”
Then, two minutes later, I come to. He said, “Is there any way I can get a table inside?” He’s literally sitting inside drinking Red Bulls and I didn’t think about it, I just thought he was too friendly, I didn’t think he was flirting with me.
In a TikTok video uploaded on September 20, Kate recounted how she and Liam met and how their relationship almost never happened.
In her video, Kate told her followers that their meeting almost never happened because she had desperately tried to leave work that night.
Kate said that every time she approached their table, Liam offered to sit with him and soon asked for her number.
She said: ‘Every time I came to the table to check on him, he told me to sit down! I have family in London and I said, “Oh, I’m going to London to see my cousin” and he said, “I’d love to be your tour guide when you come.” I thought, Okay, I’m getting the feeling that you’re flirting with me.
‘He asked me for my number and I didn’t realize you had to put +1 because I’m from the United States. Only my area code, 201, tried to text me and it was still green, not delivered.
‘He thought he had put in the wrong number as if he were not interested. I was freaking out all night and then realized I forgot to put the +1 in and it was done.’
They suffered another mishap that same night when Kate’s phone went off when she went to bed and Liam thought he had blocked her number.
She recalled: “That night, I didn’t actually plug my phone in before I went to bed, so when I woke up in the morning it was off.” Once he finally got the number, he thought he had blocked it because it didn’t say delivered.
‘The next morning I texted him and I was so sorry I responded so late, what time is your flight back to England? He told me: before I go to the airport I can go have lunch with you.
Just days before the shocking death, Kate shared a touching post, dedicated to the star, where they went horseback riding.

‘We went to lunch, which was really nice, then we went bowling and then we went on a ghost tour, we basically had one of our first dates in a cemetery.
‘He extended his flight and extended it again the next day, so he ended up in Charleston for three days. That’s the story of how we met.
‘Literally, everything happens in a meeting. Don’t leave work because you want to go to a party because you never know, you could end up meeting your future husband.’
Just days before his death, Kate shared a touching post dedicated to the singer.
