Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy remembers the moment herself and the late singer adopted their dog Nala as she shares sweet clip
The internet personality, 26, shared a sweet clip to Instagram on Tuesday that bean with her and Nala enjoying a day at the beach.
Captioned: 'There wouldn't be this... without you,' it then switched to a video with Liam from when they first adopted Nala.
Kate wrote: 'I remember the day we got Nala, we walked into the room at the animal shelter and Nala was the only dog not barking.
'Liam pointed her out and we took her home now I need to learn how to get her to stop barking.'
Liam died aged 31 on October 16, 2024, after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and was found to have alcohol and cocaine in his system.
Kate has been documenting her grief journey on social media and she shared never-before-seen intimate texts with Liam.
Marking eight months since his death, she previously shared a gallery of pictures of herself and Liam and told how she lives in a 'constant state' of missing her 'best friend', admitting she can't put her pain into words.
One photograph showed Liam wearing a T-shirt with her name written on it and pictures of her face printed across it as she stood beside him smiling.
The influencer also shared a screenshot of texts Liam had sent her on August 1 gushing over his love for her, just two months before his tragic death.
The messages read: 'Shall we go -play tennis for an hour? I literally couldn't love you more if I tried and somehow I will tomorrow. I can't wait to see you.' (sic)
In a caption, Kate candidly opened up about her grief as she emotionally said her life doesn't 'make sense' without Liam in it.
She penned: 'Eight months ago today, I lost my best friend and someone I thought I had so much more time and life left to share with.
'Liam was the kind of person you'd start missing the moment you walked out the door. Even when leaving the house for a few hours, I'd find myself rushing home to be with him again out of excitement.'
She added: 'Now facing the reality that I live in a constant state of missing you is something I still can't fully wrap my head around.
'Knowing I can't just come home and see you, hear your voice, or feel your hug, it's a type of pain I can't fully put into words.
'I can't seem to tell if life is flying by without you or moving so slow none of it fully makes sense.
'But I am trying to live my life as best I can for now and live it for you. I miss you more than words can say.
Ending on their angel number 444, she added: 'One day, I'll see you again, and I'll have so much to tell you. So much to catch up on. I love you my angel❤️444.'
Angels have been symbolic for Kate since Liam's passing, particularly the number 444, which she has since got tattooed on her hand.
Kate also has a beaded phone charm with the number '444' and an 'L' laced through the thread in a tribute to Liam.
Angel numbers are repeating sequences of digits, normally in sets of three or four, and they are believed to hold spiritual guidance.
In numerology, 444 is a sign that the 'angels are with you' and are 'there to guide you step by step'.
In the weeks after his death, she referenced the angel numbers as she shared that they had been planning to marry in the weeks leading up to his passing.

Jason and Kylie Kelce attend funeral of dad Ed's girlfriend
A somber Jason and Kylie Kelce were seen attending the funeral of his 'heartbroken' father's girlfriend - but his younger brother, Travis, and his superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift , appeared to have stayed away, the Daily Mail can reveal. The retired Philadelphia Eagles center arrived five minutes before the start of Maureen Anne Maguire's funeral at St. John Vianney Catholic church in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, suited and booted and with a Starbucks coffee in hand. The 37-year-old appeared downcast as he arrived with wearing a light-colored shirt, dark tie and slacks with wife Kylie dressed in a simple knee-length black shift dress and strappy heels. The celebrity couple – who live a short drive from the church in a $6 million megamansion in the wealthy suburb of Haverford, Pennsylvania - were among the last to join the line of mourners filing through the front doors of the church to say farewell to the partner of the Kelce patriarch, who died last Friday aged 74. The older Kelce brother appeared to be representing both of Ed's sons - after his Kansas City Chiefs brother Travis was spotted this morning playing at his team's training camp at Missouri Western University in St Joseph, ahead of season start on Saturday. The 35-year-old appeared in great shape at the training camp, pouring cold water on any imminent retirement suggestions. 'I love it here,' Kelce said of training camp. It gets me away from everything else that's going on in this crazy world. You can really just focus in on your craft and focus in on being the best you can for the guys around you, man.' 'Football has always been the biggest driving force I've ever had. I love coming out here and focusing on this and getting better for another run at hopefully a Super Bowl. Travis's popstar girlfriend Swift was nowhere to be seen at the small Catholic mass – despite Kelce senior Ed sharing sweet photographs of Maguire and him with the 'I Can Do It with a Broken Heart' hitmaker. Announcing Maguire's death on his Facebook page with an online obituary, Ed shared photo of the three of them in Kansas City Chiefs merch, with the singer holding a card and what appears to be a friendship bracelet. Ed also shared a photograph with Maguire from Saturday Night Live in March 2023 in New York, when three-time Super Bowl winner Travis was the guest host. In an interview last year with the LA Times, Ed revealed how his girlfriend and Swift had struck up a bond. Maguire, according to Ed, jokingly told Swift 'hey, that's my boyfriend' when the singer took a selfie with Travis and Jason's father at an NFL game. Maguire's obituary doesn't explain how she and Ed met but revealed how much football was an influence on her later years. 'She also grew an unexpected love for football later in life, sharing many laughs and adventures with her beloved friend Ed Kelce and her loyal dog Butch,' the obituary said. 'Together, they traveled often and attended football games and concerts, and embraced every opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest.' The older Kelce brother's appearance at the funeral comes after the Mail exclusively pictured him at his sprawling estate – dressed down in his casual gear with his wife and four daughters. spotted him Wednesday on the driveway of his sprawling property in the wealthy suburb of Haverford, Pennsylvania, with wife Kylie and their four daughters. Kelce kept it low-key and ate from a small bowl while entertaining two of his daughters as one rode a bike, and another played on a toy horse. Wife Kylie, who cut a similarly casual figure barefoot and in a black sweatsuit, cradled their newborn and kept an eye on another daughter as their huge Irish wolfhound padded around them. Kelce and Kylie married in 2018 and share four daughters, Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, and Bennett, 2, and newborn Finnley, who arrived in March . They are raising their young family at their massive 10-acre compound, which boasts three properties and a swimming pool with waterfalls and a hot tub. Kelce – brother to Kansas City Chiefs star Travis - recently got permission to build a fourth home on his estate and do other extensive updates, including adding a fence to improve 'security' on the property and 'deter foot traffic'. The couple appeared on their driveway briefly as an unknown older man and a young girl wearing matching blue t-shirts arrived at the huge compound yesterday afternoon and were seen chatting with Kelce before admiring his luxury Tesla cyber truck. Kelce's appearance came just a day before the funeral of Maguire, the partner of his father Ed, who is said to be 'heartbroken' over her death from a long-term illness. 'Maureen wasn't just his partner, she was his person. They were a team. They shared everything… games, concerts, travel, dogs, dinners with family. He's feeling an enormous void,' a source reportedly told PEOPLE magazine. Kelce patriarch Ed was nowhere to be seen at the mansion, or his home in nearby Ardmore, where workers appeared to be clearing or doing repairs. It isn't known when Ed first met Maguire, or how. But an online obituary for Maguire's first husband, Daniel J. Maguire Jr, from February 2023 describes Maureen as 'his loving wife…with whom he was married for 28 years'. But Ed and Donna Kelce, the mother of Travis and Jason, went their separate ways after nearly 25 years of marriage around the time their sons were at college, but remain good friends. Two unmarked police cars driven by uniformed cops were seen watching over the funeral and directing cars entering and exiting the jam-packed church car park – with some mourners having to park at a nearby supermarket across the street. Maguire will be buried at a private ceremony after the funeral. Earlier, workers and family members were seen carrying large bouquets of flowers and sweet picture boards into the church. In a moving nod to Maguire's Gaelic roots, a bagpiper played her out of the church as her grieving partner Ed and other pallbearers carried her coffin down the steps of the church and placed her in a silver hearse before she was driven away for her private burial. Kelce senior, who wore a grey suit jacket, tie and dark pants, was seen shaking hands and hugging mourners – including Kylie - who gathered on the steps of the church, before going inside. She and Jason were later seen leaving the church car park in their green Toyota Sienna vehicle. Two unmarked police cars and a Lower Merion marked police vehicle were seen managing the flow of traffic down the road as mourners drove away. Maguire's long-term illness was not released by Kelce senior, but in her online obituary, he asked family and friends to donate to the Penn Heart Transplant Fund, which he said 'provides support to individuals in financial need receiving heart transplants' instead of sending flowers. A local Philadelphia magazine article about Maguire from February 2014 reveals how she went into ventricular tachycardia (VTAC) aged 32 and later received a heart transplant around 2013, with her care managed by cardiologist Dr Harvey Waxman at the pioneering Penn Medicine. According to the article, heart disease runs in Maguire's family, with her younger brother passing away aged 15 from a sudden heart attack due to an undiagnosed heart condition. In the article, Maguire said that 10 years prior she had had to slow down due to her heart failure but that her heart transplant had given her a second chance at life.

‘Working with Kanye? That's definitely in the past': rap legends Clipse on beef, Bono and Mr Bean
The Birds Don't Sing [from new album Let God Sort Em Out] is an incredibly emotional track, especially for an album opener. What things did your parents say to you that make you proud and have stuck with you over the years? Fran_MMalice: Creating that song was a very emotional time and it cut real deep, but to be able to journal the grief from losing both our parents into a piece of art was also healing. I believe it's a song that is going to resonate with a lot of people, because whether we like it or not, most of us are going to end up outliving our parents. This is something always in the back of your mind, you know? Already, a lot of people are coming up to us on the street and saying: thank you, that song helped me to grieve. The Birds Don't Sing isn't just our story, it's everybody's story. Pusha T: In hindsight I believe my mom was leaving breadcrumbs and doing all these little things in order to let us know she didn't have long left. She was mapping, planning and vocalising specific things before she passed away. It was her way of saying goodbye, you know? It was super important to detail all of that, because it gave me and my brother a sense of peace. Malice: No doubt. In terms of specific things our parents said? Well, you know, my dad always instilled in us the idea that honesty is the best policy! That you have to go through life being as truthful as possible and to always try to show integrity in your character. I remember mom was always big on us truly being brothers and looking out for one another, no matter what. That advice still resonates to this day and with the energy of this album. How did you guys develop your signature diction and wit as writers? MaximFlathMalice: Remember the movie Crooklyn by Spike Lee? The scene where all the brothers and sisters are watching Soul Train and American Bandstand? That was the perfect depiction of how musical our household was. By the time we moved to Virginia, I told my mom I wanted a microphone, a beat machine, a turntable, a Gemini mixer with the reverb on it. My mom literally forced my dad to buy it all for me, because he was much more dismissive at first and said things like: 'Why do you need all that? Rap ain't even gonna be here for that long, son!' Pusha T: Music was always a big part of our upbringing. If I just think about our house then the living room was filled with hundreds of vinyl records from all genres. That was the foundation. You know that I recently found all those records and got them back? Malice: No, I didn't know that. Pusha T: It was literally tons of vinyl. Look: if my parents would argue, someone would go downstairs and put a record on full volume to drown out the noise. Music was always the backdrop and there tended to be cousins dancing in our house. A specific rapping style? I always liked the energy of the old horror movies. Like The Omen and The Exorcist, where a lot of it is based on these eerie conversations and they didn't need special effects to scare you. People think gangster shit is supposed to be loud or obnoxious or ignorant, but to me the most gangster shit in the world is when you're having a really cutting conversation and looking directly into someone's eyes. To be able to embody a coldness without being over the top. Like Tony Soprano might smack somebody up, but the most gangster part is when he's just lucidly speaking to his therapist, you know? My rapping style is a lot like that, too. Malice, you are a man of God and so am I; I'm a woman, actually. I love hip-hop, but sometimes the lyrics, imagery and messaging feels so spiritually off. How do you navigate that as a Christian? LoveFromLagosMalice: The gospel tells us about the war between the spirit and the flesh. It talks about these constant contradictions, and how helpless we all are as long as we are in this flesh. The flesh and the spirit are always at enmity with one another. So, we are all walking contradictions, right? The thing about morality is that you're only good until you're not. It's not supposed to be a juggling act: we all try to do the right thing, but there's going to be circumstances where we fall short. There is part of the scripture from the apostle Paul, who says: 'For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do – this I keep on doing. Who will rescue me from this body of death?' It shows that we are all sinners and we all fall short. That's what being human is all about. And Pusha, you've been very candid about how things ended with Kanye's GOOD Music label. While I understand you went through a lot of challenges, can you mention some of the good times? LovefromLagosPusha T: Just as a rap aficionado, well, being there was special! Creating So Appalled and New God Flow were some of my favourite memories. The Good Friday series, that was crazy, too. The albums I dropped during that time, like Daytona and It's Almost Dry, they are very, very strong offerings. It goes without saying that me and Ye made great things together. Do you think there'll ever be another collab between you and Ye? JooooooojPusha T: Yeah, that's in the past. That's definitely in the past. If I diss someone [Pusha T has criticised West in recent years], it's a very real thing to me. I watch other rappers use disses as a gimmick and shit like that, but that ain't what this is for me. There is always a lot of humour and brilliant scene setting in your lyrics. Have you ever thought about writing a screenplay? HhhhssssMalice: Writing a screenplay for a Clipse biopic movie is a must. A lot of people would like to see that film. Right now, we're seeing rappers fall to the federal government or they're losing their lives because of drug addictions and out-of-control egos. But there's a lot to learn from our lives, especially the way me and my brother have navigated the pitfalls of the business and always tried to make the best possible decisions. Who had the best verse on Let God Sort Em Out? BezosofthenasalsPusha T: I don't know if I have a personal favourite verse on the album to be honest, maybe it's my Ace Trumpets verse. I wish I had rapped what Malice said on Mike Tyson Blow to the Face: 'Only 300 bricks can make you Leonidas.' Pusha, I think I saw you performing with Kelis when she supported U2 in 2001. What was your experience of those shows? SharmadelicaPusha T: U2 were so fucking cool, man! I remember it was a super big deal to be touring with them at that time, and it was one of my first real experiences on a big stage. For U2, tour life is about five-star catering; runners who will go grab you whatever you ask for; and random vans that will take you anywhere in the city. These dudes had manicures, pedicures, massages! Touring with U2 seriously fucked up my expectations, bro. Because when you go out and tour for real as a rapper, the reality can be a very gruelling thing. Malice: Wait, hold up, can I share my own Bono interaction? I met him backstage around the time I converted from Malice to No Malice and found God. I remember Bono said to me: 'You have this righteous anger now and you have to go do something with it!' That always stuck with me. It kind of gave me the green light, and what Bono said is always in the back of my mind around not abandoning my convictions. Bono is a good dude. What are each of your favourite albums of all time? FionnmckMalice: Listen, I love the Killers, I love Red Hot Chili Peppers, even Billy Joel! When I work out in the gym, I have Coldplay playing, or U2's The Joshua Tree. It's funny, because when I watched MTV back in the 1980s, David Bowie was always on there. All these years later and Bowie is still at the forefront today. I think that says something about true talent and how it can carry on through the ages. It even outlasts your death. Pusha T: I'm always torn between Mobb Deep's The Infamous, Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt, and Biggie's Life After Death. I can drive anywhere in the world with those four albums and I will be happy. Have you watched much British TV/film? If so, what have you liked and why? Jajones7Pusha T: [Loud laughter] Definitely Benny Hill! Benny was running around with women on late night TV! My older brother was always watching him, laughing, and I would sneak in. And what's my other man called … um, Rowan Atkinson? Mr Bean, right? That dude was ill. Do you still write your rhymes? If so, do you prefer handwritten, typing on the phone, or both? Do you have any particular rituals when writing or recording? WzrdwthwrzfMalice: For me it's about building a verse line-by-line throughout the day. It might start off in the shower, continue while I am driving, and then when I get to the studio I put it all together. It is always pen and paper with a pristine notebook. If I mess up on the writing, I am gonna rip out the page and start over. Pusha T: I can only write things down to be honest, because I am a very visual person. I don't know how to do the whole spontaneous freestyle thing, because I am always second guessing myself. I am a perfectionist and so that involves editing a lot. I might come up with a good bar, but I will keep going back to it and working out how to make it fresher. What can we expect from the duo in the future? Is this the end? CClarke2005Pusha T: We've definitely got more music in store, baby. Malice: [Laughs knowingly] Nah, we got it. We've definitely got it! Let Got Sort Em Out is out now on Roc Nation. Clipse's US tour continues until 10 September. They play the O2 Kentish Town Forum, London, on 9, 12 and 13 November and the O2 Victoria Warehouse, Manchester, on 10 November
