Liam Payne's Kate Cassidy spotted for first time since he was buried

Liam Payne’s heartbroken girlfriend cut a sad figure as she was seen in public for the first time since the superstar singer was laid to rest.

Grief-stricken Kate Cassidy, 25, was spotted on a solo trip through central London.

The American model braved the winter chill in a long white fluffy coat and a pair of dark jogging pants as she strolled down the street before entering a cafe.

Clutching a mobile phone and a small purse, she appeared without makeup and with her hair up as she walked anonymously through the busy streets.

It comes just days after Kate joined the former One Direction star’s family and friends as they said a tearful goodbye to the star last week.

Liam, 31, was buried after his coffin was carried to the 12th century St Mary’s Church in Amersham, Bucks, in a hearse drawn by a white horse.

His One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson were among the mourners.

They were united in grief as they appeared together in public for the first time since the band split in 2015.

Also present was former Girls Aloud star Cheryl, mother of Liam’s seven-year-old son Bear.

One of the floral displays featured bowling pins and a ball, a nod to her love of bowling, which Cassidy said she practiced four times a week.

Liam died on October 16 from head injuries he suffered after falling from the balcony of his third-floor hotel suite in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Liam and Kate had been in the country to attend former bandmate Horan’s sold-out concert in the city.

Kate flew back to the couple’s Miami home on October 14 while Liam stayed to renew his US visa.

After his death, she wrote a touching tribute on Instagram saying: ‘Thank you for all the kind words and love you have sent me.

‘I’ve been completely lost. Nothing about the last few days has seemed real to me. I ask and pray that you give me the grace and space to deal with this privately.’

‘Liam, my angel. You are everything. I want you to know that I loved you unconditionally and completely. I will continue to love you for the rest of my life. I love you Liam.’

She said the couple had hoped to get married, but added: “Liam, I know we will be together forever, but not in the way we had planned.”

Kate and Liam began dating in October 2022 and made their debut on the Fashion Awards red carpet that same year.

The couple then put split rumors to rest by enjoying a date night in London in June last year, and later that year, she supported him when he was rushed to hospital with a “serious kidney infection”.
