Liam and Kate, an influencer, began dating in 2022 after his breakup with model Maya Henry. They made their relationship public later that year at the British Fashion Awards. Though their relationship had its ups and downs, the couple appeared close in the days leading up to the tragedy. Just hours before Liam’s death, he shared a series of videos on Snapchat, showing them having breakfast and talking about their plans for the day.

Liam had extended his stay in Argentina to catch up with his former bandmate, Niall Horan, who was performing in the country. According to reports, he had asked Kate to stay with him a little longer, but she decided to return to Florida, citing her desire to go home to her dog. A friend of Kate revealed that Liam wasn’t happy with her decision, and the situation became tense. “Liam didn’t want Kate to leave Argentina. He wanted her to stay. She says he begged her to stay. It was actually a little more heated than you’d think,” the friend shared.

This tragic incident has left many mourning the loss of a talented singer, and Kate’s tribute reflects the deep love and connection they shared.
