She also showed a Polaroid of Liam, where he was doing an upside down peace side, that had 'I love you' written on it.
'I have too many but I keep these on my coffee table,' she wrote. 'Should probably get frames though.'
It is the latest sweet tribute shared by Kate, after she shared a touching unseen photo of the late singer, taken before his tragic death, last month.
On Friday, she took to her Instagram Stories to post a image of the pair that had never been seen by the public.
The intimate snap showed the couple holding hands on a beach, with their faces out of view.
Liam was wearing white shorts as he held her hand, with some of his distinctive arm tattoos visible in the snap.
Just days ago, Kate shared snaps from her last holiday with the One Direction star - and the special meaning behind them.
The influencer took to Instagram on Monday to share pictures of herself from a lavish trip to Greece, seven months after his tragic death, as well as a getting ready snap where the star could be seen behind her in the mirror.
Kate looked sensational in the snaps, with her skin glowing as she donned a white lace and satin summer dress.
She said Liam had done 'everything to get me the perfect photo' and gushed over how beautiful she looked, but she admitted to only finding flaws.
However in tribute to the star she shared all of the pictures 'unedited, unfiltered' to celebrate 'the way you saw me'.
Sharing the carousel of snaps, Kate wrote: 'These are some of the last photos Liam took of me. We were in Greece, on our last holiday together. I asked Liam to take a few photos of me because I really loved my dress.
'As usual, with no hesitation, Liam did everything he could to get me the perfect photo. We walked around the entire resort trying to find the perfect background.
'That's just who he was. Always thinking of me in the most thoughtful ways. While he was taking them, he kept smiling and saying how beautiful I looked and how I was going love every picture.
'When I looked back at the photos, all I saw were flaws. I hated how I looked. My pose, my hair, my face- everything. I picked myself apart, and told him I'd try editing them, maybe fix them enough to find one I liked.
'He just looked at me and said, "I wish you saw how beautiful you are through my eyes".'
She added: 'And I didn't listen. I let my insecurities silence the way he saw me that night. So today, I'm posting them. For you, Liam. Just as they are. Unfiltered, unedited. Just me. The way you saw me. I miss you. I love you. Always.'
It was revealed last week that Liam, 31, died without leaving a will - meaning UK intestacy laws will determine where his money goes.
That means his ex Cheryl Tweedy, 41, was appointed to take control of his estate alongside music industry lawyer Richard Bray.
Court papers confirmed Cheryl is now responsible for Liam's property, money and possessions - a huge task the star is said to be quietly managing behind the scenes.
Liam and Cheryl dated for two years and share an eight-year-old son, Bear, who is expected to inherit his dad's fortune via a trust.

Louis Tomlinson admits being 'very proud' of Harry Styles in rare comment
Louis Tomlinson has opened up about his former bandmate Harry Styles, admitting he couldn't be prouder of the global mega-star for 'taking over the world' Louis Tomlinson has revealed he's "very proud" of his former bandmate Harry Styles. The two found fame as one-fifth of One Direction back in 2010, after former Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger spearheaded the decision to create the band on The X Factor. Despite finishing the show in third place, the band, consisting of Louis, 33, Harry, 31, Niall Horan, 31, Zayn Malik, 32, and the late Liam Payne, 31, they went on to find fame across the globe and became one of the biggest selling boybands of all time. For five years, the band toured the globe, racked up countless Number 1 records and dozens of awards before making the decision to start a hiatus. However, just one year later, it emerged that their hiatus had turned into a permanent split. But since then, all five members have gone on to carve out successful solo careers. Now, Doncaster-born Louis has silenced speculation that he has become distant from his bandmates as he opened up about his bond with Cheshire's Harry. Speaking on a new podcast, he said he's in regular contact. "I do still know him," he said on the Yoto Daily Soccer Aid Special podcast. Louis went on to say: "I used to be in a band with him, we're not in a band anymore so that's what happens. But yeah, still good friends with him. "Still very, very proud of him, taking over the world, definitely." Fans have since reacted to the sweet admission, with one writing: "Oh God, that's so cute." A second went on to add: "My heart just exploded." "I'm sobbing so f***ng hard. Nobody speak to me. This is the best day ever," exclaimed a third. Meanwhile, a fourth added: "Today just became the best day of my life." Since launching their solo careers, Louis has gone on to release two studio albums, Walls, which charted at Number Four in 2020, as well as Faith in the Future, which saw him take Number One in November 2022. Elsewhere, Harry's debut album charted at Number One, with his second taking the second spot, and his third solo album, Harry's House, hitting the top spot across the globe. He's also bagged an impressive six BRIT Awards and three solo Grammy Awards – despite being nominated nine times. Louis' comments come just days before he'll walk out onto the pitch at Old Trafford as part of Soccer Aid for UNICEF. The musician will play alongside the likes of Tom Grennan, Roman Kemp, Toni Duggan, Jill Scott, Alex Brooker, Angryginge and James Nelson-Joyce. Speaking about taking part in the match, Louis told TV Week: "It's the only real opportunity you get to play in a football game of that magnitude if you're not a professional footballer. So it's very exciting for a football fan, and coupled with all the good that the charity has done over the past two decades, it's remarkable really." But there's one moment that sticks out in Louis's head, playing against Niall in the 2016 game. He said: "I played against my One Direction bandmate Niall Horan in 2016. I'm the kind of guy who will rub it in your face when I win. So I kind of enjoyed having that over Niall for a couple of years!" Louis' younger sisters, twins Daisy and Phoebe, will be on hand to offer their support in the stands. Speaking previously to the Mirror, Phoebe, said: "Obviously, with Louis playing, I've only attended once, but it was really fun. Super excited, Louis playing just makes it more interesting and a bit more funny as well." Daisy commented: "I wouldn't say I feel as nervous seeing him play football than sing but I probably should. He sings more than he plays football but I heard he's been putting in the graft in training so I shouldn't feel too nervous on the day." The match takes place on Sunday 15th of June at Old Trafford, Manchester, and will air on ITV1 and ITVX.

Destiny's Child icon pays tribute to MTV trailblazer Ananda Lewis after tragic death aged 52
Kelly Rowland paid tribute to Ananda Lewis after the MTV trailblazer passed away at 52 following her breast cancer battle. The former MTV VJ died this week following a seven-year battle with cancer and had shared a heartbreaking final post before her sister announced her passing. The 44-year-old singer rose to fame alongside her band members Beyoncé and Michelle Williams in the late 1990s and often crossed paths with Lewis on MTV. In a tribute dedicated to Lewis, the Destiny's Child icon shared that she has 'the most amazing memories' of the time they spent together. Rowland recalled how she and the late MTV star were once at a Sade concert and had fun 'belting' out songs together until both of their throats felt 'hoarse.' Alongside a portrait of the late star, she wrote: 'Interviews, yeah! But my fav is us singing together at a SADE concert, at THE TOP of our lungs! We both left hoarse, but did not care!' She gushed about the late journalist and shared her 'love and prayers' to Lewis' family and friends. 'Her spirit, SOUL, her [heart]... she was just an ALL around cool, beautiful, FLY woman! I am at a loss for words! BUT SENDING her LOVED ONES, my love and prayers!' Lewis had previously interviewed Destiny's Child nearly two decades ago, and the rising stars had crossed paths multiple times in Hollywood. On Wednesday, July 11, Lewis passed away after her seven-year battle with cancer. She had also recently shared her past regrets as she warned fans to focus on their health in one of her final Instagram posts. The former MTV VJ's death was announced by her sister Lakshmi Emory via a Facebook post. She shared a black and white portrait of Lewis with the caption: 'She's free, and in His heavenly arms. Lord, rest her soul.' In a post to her Instagram page in February Lewis told her followers that she had some regrets about her diagnosis and that she wished she had done things differently. On Wednesday, July 11, Lewis passed away after her seven-year battle with cancer. The former MTV VJ's death was announced by her sister Lakshmi Emory via a Facebook post; pictured September 2005 in West Hollywood Lewis had previously said she had refused a double mastectomy. She said: 'Is that body you're in right now healthy? I mean like relatively, no big diseases. If so, consider it like a winning lotto ticket.' 'I know I don't talk a lot about what I go through on a day-to-day basis wrestling the big C monster. 'Part of it is because I refuse to give it anymore energy than it's already taking from my life. 'It doesn't matter how bad things are in my body right now. What does matter is keep you out of this club. ' There are things I wish I did differently like 10 years ago to prevent cancer and I am talking about them.' She then mentioned a story she did with Essence magazine in which she further delved into her cancer battle. Lewis added: 'You can avoid this, only five to ten percent of cancers have anything to do with genetics. 'That leaves 90 percent that are environmentally or lifestyle influences, and some of those are things you can control. 'Prevention is the cure, because preserving your health is way easier than fighting to get it back.' As a fixture on MTV in the late 1990s, Ananda hosted hit shows like Total Request Live, Hot Zone and Spring Break. Lewis nabbed her very own daytime TV talk show, The Ananda Lewis Show, in 2001, which ran for one season. She earned two NAACP Image Awards during her career and was once deemed the 'the hip-hop generation's reigning It Girl' by The New York Times. Lakshmi told TMZ that her sister died at her home in Los Angeles at 11:35am on Wednesday, June 11. She was in hospice care at the time of her death. Lakshmi said that a memorial would be held 'in a few weeks' and that celebrities who Ananda previously interviewed have already expressed interest in paying tribute to her at the upcoming service. In October 2020 Ananda shocked fans when she announced on social media that she'd been privately battling stage III breast cancer. 'I have been fighting to get cancer out of my body for almost two years,' she shared in the six-minute video posted to Instagram. She also admitted that she'd avoided getting regular mammograms due to fear of radiation exposure. 'I have refused mammograms... that was a mistake. I watched my mom get mammogrammed for 30 years almost and at the end of that she had breast cancer,' she explained. Four years after her announcement, Ananda confirmed that her breast cancer had metastasized and advanced to stage IV. She spoke about deciding not to undergo a double mastectomy in an October 2024 interview with CNN. Lewis explained that she had originally planned to 'keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way.' But when her tumor eventually metastasized, Ananda realized that she probably 'should have' gone through with the life-saving surgery. Days after her CNN interview, Lewis clarified her comments about refusing a double mastectomy. She said: 'My quality of life was very important to me, like there's a certain things I know I'm not gonna be okay with and I know myself. I want to want to be here, so I had to do it a certain way, for me.' Lewis's last Instagram post was made on March 7 as she paid tribute to the legendary R&B hitmaker Roberta Flack, who died on February 24 of Roberta Flack at age 88. She wrote: 'Rest in Power [heart emoji] Thank you for shining your light so bright as Roberta Flack and leaving a musical legacy that will bless us forever' Lewis was born in Los Angeles in March 21, 1973 but her parents' divorce when she was just two-years-old led to her being raised by her mother and grandmother in San Diego, California along with her sister Lakshmi. She attended an arts high school before studying at historic Howard University in Washington, DC. She graduated from in 1995. Lewis first garnered TV fame as a host of BET's youth talk-show Teen Summit in Washington D.C., where she famously interviewed then-First Lady Hillary Clinton. Ananda quickly became a fan-favorite fixture on MTV and interviewed many of the major stars of the late 90s and early 2000s, including Britney Spears and Beyonce. In 2001, the star took a major career leap as she left MTV to become the host of her very own daytime talk show. The Ananda Lewis Show premiered in 2001 but was short-lived as it went off the air after one season. She served as a correspondent for The Insider from 2004 to 2005. Lewis then became a carpenter and hosted the 2019 revival of While You Were Out on TLC.
