Liam Payne's girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, has sent the rumour mill into overdrive after sharing a series of enigmatic posts to her social media followers. The model's activity has fuelled intense speculation that her relationship with the One Direction star has hit the rocks.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Cassidy posted a photo of a notepad with the words 'I'm sorry that I...' written clearly at the top. The cryptic message was left unfinished, leaving fans to wildly speculate about its intended meaning and recipient.
The intrigue deepened as she followed this with a snap of a book titled 'How to Heal a Broken Heart' by Ruth Field. The poignant choice of literature did not go unnoticed by her concerned audience, adding further weight to the breakup theories.
Further stoking the flames, Cassidy shared a screenshot of a text conversation that read, 'Stop watering dead plants.' The phrase, often used as a metaphor for knowing when to quit a failing relationship, was interpreted by many as a significant clue about her current personal situation.
This flurry of activity comes just weeks after the couple made their first official public appearance together at a London premiere in May, where they appeared happy and united. The sudden shift in her online demeanour has left followers puzzled and worried.
Representatives for Liam Payne have yet to comment on the speculation. The former boyband star and the model have been romantically linked since the autumn of 2022, keeping much of their relationship away from the public eye until recently.
