Kate Cassidy is ready to move forward after experiencing a year from hell.
October 16 marked the one-year anniversary of her boyfriend Liam Payne‘s death. The former member of One Direction died after falling from a third-floor balcony in Argentina.
Following the tragedy, Kate went into a bout of depression, struggling to cope with his death. It looks like the influencer has finally emerged from that dark place and is ready to move on with her life.
Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy is “open to dating again”
Moving forward after such an unspeakable tragedy is understandably difficult to put it mildly.
Liam’s death has hit Kate especially hard. “There were months where I literally didn’t see her smile, and I was seeing her every day,” a close friend of hers revealed to The Daily Mail. They added that it was very concerning to see her in such a state and that she didn’t seem to like herself.
These days, though, she’s doing a lot better, posting pleasant photos on her Instagram account and going out more with friends. “She knows it’s what he (Liam) would have wanted,” the friend continued. They added that Kate is “open to dating again” at some point.
Back in April, Kate revealed her final moments with Liam, which were filled with both pain and peace. Before his death, Liam had reportedly been behaving erratically. A hotel staff member admitted giving him cocaine but denied accepting any money for it.
Kate had left Argentina a couple of days before Liam’s death. Liam was in Buenos Aires to attend his former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan’s concert The Show: Live on Tour.
Months before his death, Liam had been confirmed as a judge on the Netflix program Building the Band. The first season aired in July, making his final public appearance.
