Kate Cassidy has split from her latest boyfriend.
The influencer reflected on the woes of comparing new flames to her late boyfriend, Liam Payne.
“Got broken up with. I got dumped,” Cassidy shared in a TikTok video.
“I recently met someone. Let’s just name this guy Joe. Joe was really sweet, and I feel he was a lot of things that I wanted in a guy. He’s super low-key, so he doesn’t have any social media, which I actually really liked. I met his family, he took me on trips.”
Cassidy explained that although things were going well with Joe, the pair hit a roadblock when Cassidy found herself comparing her new man to Payne, whom she dated from 2022 until his tragic death in 2024.
“I f**ked up dating after losing somebody that you genuinely thought you were gonna spend the rest of your life with,” she continued. “It’s really tough because I physically look for Liam in every single guy that I meet, if they don’t hit all the check marks, I tend to either back away or almost like resent this person, and it’s so crazy.”
The former One Direction star died at age 31 after falling off a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in October 2024. Cassidy had been holidaying with the singer at the time, returning home to the United States days before his death. She later opened up about her guilt over leaving him behind.
