On February 14, 2025, Kate Cassidy, the late Liam Payne’s girlfriend, shared a poignant Valentine’s Day tribute that highlighted a ‘special’ connection to the late singer. This marks the first Valentine’s Day since Payne’s tragic passing on October 16, 2024, at the age of 31.
In her tribute, Cassidy posted a photo of a black-and-white framed photo collage she received from her best friend. The collage featured images of her and Payne, with their initials and the angel number “444” prominently displayed. The number 444 is often associated with support, guidance, and love from angels, and it held particular significance in their relationship. Cassidy had previously shared how she and Payne had “manifested” their intention to marry within a year by writing the goal down alongside.
Additionally, Cassidy reflected on a personal experience that reinforced this connection. She shared a screenshot of notifications from an app tracking geomagnetic activity of the northern lights, which spelled out “444.” She noted that she and Payne had witnessed the northern lights together exactly a year ago on Valentine’s Day. Cassidy wrote, “Came across this when I first woke up whole checking my notifications…. Liam and I were seeing the Northern Lights exactly a year ago today for Valentine’s.” She concluded with, Happy Valentine’s Liam.
These heartfelt gestures underscore the profound bond between Cassidy and Payne, reflecting their shared memories and the enduring connection they maintained.
