Kate Cassidy left emotional as fans sweetly edit late boyfriend Liam Payne into her Instagram snaps
The One Direction star tragically died aged 31 on October 16 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Kate, 26, a social media content creator who had been in a relationship with Liam for two years, has been openly documenting her grief journey online.
Wednesday marked nine months since Liam's passing, and on Friday, Kate reshared a touching fan-made image to her Instagram Stories.
The edit showed Kate dressed in a blue outfit, with Liam digitally added beside her in a matching blue hoodie.
Sharing the image with her 944,000 followers, she wrote: 'You guys (tearful emoji) these edits make me so sad yet so happy (tearful emoji).'
The post comes days after Kate broke down in tears as she marked nine months since his tragic death.
In a recent TikTok, she became emotional as she shared a realisation she had had about the passing of time.
Kate revealed she had recently cut her hair, got new tattoos and had her ears pierced, which felt like big changes to her.
The big changes, however, were bittersweet as it made her think about how she would look different to how she did when Liam knew her.
She said: 'I don't know how heaven works, but is Liam going to look how he looked the last time I saw him?
'Since the last day that I saw him? Is he still going to be that beautiful, youthful human that he was and that he is?'
And Kate went on to say that she had been looking at old photos of herself with Liam before he died and admitted that she looked different.
She continued: 'And then I started thinking further ahead, that if I am blessed to live a long, happy, beautiful life - when my time comes will Liam recognise me?
'Like I'm going to be old I'm going to have wrinkles, grey hair, bony hips. How will Liam find me? How will he recognise me? And I just got really emotional.'
Kate revealed she had been with a friend when she got upset, but was given some touching advice.
She said: 'I was with my friend and my friend said "Kate of course he's going to recognise you" - sorry I'm shaking - "of course he's going to recognise you, he's going to recognise you no matter what you look like,
'It doesn't matter how old you are he's going to recognise you and you know what he's going to say to you? He's going to come up to you and look at you and he's going to say to you he's so glad you look the way you look.
'He's going to say you're lucky you were able to age and have these wrinkles and have the white hair and have the evidence of living these years without him by your side.
'He is going to be happy that you lived, and lived fully, and lived a life. And he's going to want to sit there and hear all about it."
'And it just really reminded me to stay strong and to carry on and to live my life to the fullest for what I can right now, not only for myself but for him.
'So here's to another day of living life without the person that I love. I miss you so much and I love you so much.'
Earlier this month, Kate remembered the moment she and the late singer adopted their pet dog Nala.
The internet personality shared a sweet, previously unseen clip to Instagram on Tuesday that began 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.

How Netflix plans to utilise AI in its TV series and films
Netflix has confirmed its first use of generative AI in a production, featuring in the Argentinian sci-fi series The Eternaut. Co-chief executive Ted Sarandos stated that AI was used to depict a building collapsing, achieving the visual effect ten times faster than traditional methods. Sarandos highlighted that AI helps creators make films and series better and cheaper, enabling complex effects even for productions with smaller budgets. The use of AI in film and TV has been a significant point of discussion, notably during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. The actors' union secured crucial protections regarding AI technology in their November 2023 agreement with Hollywood studios.
