She had been with him in Argentina until two days before his death.
Seven months on from that tragic day, Kate has discovered a previous social media tribute to the singer, has been shared 4,444 times.
It is very similar to the 4:44 figure adopted by Liam and Kate as their 'angel number' prior to his sudden death.

In numerology, 444 is a sign that the 'angels are with you' and are 'there to guide you step by step'.
The way the figures are formed means they represent stability and a reassurance that you are not alone.
Following his death, Kate added '444' to her emotional tribute to her 'angel' boyfriend and shared a snap of a note where Liam had written the numbers.
It showed the former One Direction band-member's fascination with 'angel numbers' and 'manifesting'.
Kate revealed that she and Payne had been 'manifesting their lives together' - which was heavily associated with the number 444.

Rachel Zegler's West End Evita performance comes under fire as 'multiple people fall ill' while trying to catch a glimpse of the star's famous song during the soaring heat
's recent West End Evita performance has come under fire after 'multiple people fell ill' while trying to catch a glimpse of the star during the soaring heat. The performer, 24, belted out Don't Cry For Me Argentina on the balcony of the London Palladium for her performance in Evita on Thursday. An estimated 200 people gathered outside for hours to see the star's performance, but after standing for so long under the sun emergency services reportedly had to be called moments before her appearance. A source told The Sun: 'As word spreads more and more people are flocking to the Palladium to see Rachel's performance and it's turning into a bit of a nightmare. 'Crowd control is bad enough on the public street but with the heat it's becoming really dangerous. 'Ambulances were parked outside the venue for almost an hour before racing to the hospital just minutes before Rachel appeared.' MailIOnline has contacted London Ambulance Service for a comment and further information. Rachel is playing former First Lady of Argentina Eva Peron in the show, which debuted in 1978 and was written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. The play follows her rise from a poor background to becoming a powerful political figure and cultural icon in Argentina. For her performance of the iconic song, Rachel donned a white strapless dress and sported a platinum blonde wig styled into a chignon. The actress put on a passionate performance for the crowd gathered outside but not all were happy with the staging of the show. Furious fans took to social media to express their frustration that they will not see Don't Cry for Argentina on stage, despite paying for tickets. One person wrote: 'Sorry, are you saying I've paid £350 for 2 tickets and she's singing the biggest number outside at people who haven't paid?' Another explained that they 'go to the theatre to share the same space with a performer'. Others, however, said the move would help encourage more people to go to the theatre. Abi, a 21-year-old student from London, said: 'I think it's making theatre more accessible. 'It's actually adding to the ambience of the show. 'The speech she does at the end of the song does hit completely different seeing it outside. It adds so much more to her performance to see her do it to the people.'

Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy flaunts her toned physique in a pink beach set as she celebrates her pal's birthday on luxury yacht after getting candid about her cosmetic surgery
Kate Cassidy flaunted her toned physique in a pink beach set as she sailed around Florida on a yacht to celebrate her pal's 24th birthday. The girlfriend of the late Liam Payne, 26, stunned in the pale bikini top which she pair with an ankle-length matching pink lace skirt. Kate appeared in top spirits as she showcased her toned abs while indulging in luxury iced cakes, caviar and trips around the coast of Miami. Her pal also appeared to enjoy her birthday celebrations as she was pictured in pink and purple swimwear holding the multilayer cake. Kate's post comes after she shocked fans after revealing the list of cosmetic procedures she has undergone over the past five years after sharing a natural throwback video. She took to Instagram on Thursday to share a series of throwback videos of herself from the age of 21 until today. Fans commented on her changing appearance and questioned what surgery she has had, prompting her to share share another video captioned 'transparency' where she detailed all her tweakments. Sharing a natural picture of herself aged 21, Kate said the only cosmetic procedure she had at the time was lip filler, before getting cheek and chin filler and Botox by the age of 22. However, Kate candidly admitted she then went 'overboard' and ended up with a 'frozen' face from undergoing too many filer enhancements, which she said aged her. 'When I turned 22 I went a little bit too overboard with the filler, I ended up getting cheek filler, chin filer, lip filler and a whole face of Botox,' she said. 'My face was pretty much frozen and it literally aged me so much, I probably look 40 in this, not a good look.' Kate then revealed that she got a nose job, sharing photographs of her side-on profile showing the difference in her face before and after the operation. The influencer, who dated singer Liam for two years before his tragic death, admitted she didn't 'need' a nose job but wanted one due to feeling self-conscious. Kate's post comes after she revealed the list of cosmetic procedures she has undergone over the past five years after sharing a natural throwback video (left, age 21 and right age 22) She said: 'This is my nose before, I did not need a nose job I want to make that clear, it's just something I've always been self-conscious about and something that I really wanted for years.' Kate revealed she later got her cheek and chin filler removed before getting different amounts re-injected, while she did the same with her lip filler. Updating fans on her current appearance, she said she also currently has Botox as well as filler, but insisted she doesn't have 'much' though she didn't disclose further details. 'I did get my cheek filler removed and I got, I'd say, a half syringe put in on each side, I got a half syringe in my chin and probably a syringe and a half in my chin,' she shared. 'I get Botox, but not that much, I still have wrinkles and obviously nose job doesn't go away, that will be there for life. 'I ditched the eyelash extensions and grew them out myself, so that's all I've done to my face.' Her fans were quick to take to the comments to praise the star for her transparency and gushed that she looked 'beautiful' both before and after her procedures. Kate has had a difficult few months after her boyfriend of two years, One Direction star Liam, tragically died late last year. 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 earlier this week. Marking eight months since his death, she 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. '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.

Who is Lions' captain Maro Itoje's wife Mimi?
THE British and Irish Lions embark on a world tour every four years, which kicks off against Argentina in Dublin on June 20, 2025. Here we get to know captain Maro Itoje 's wife Mimi — just one of the glam WAGs attached to the squad. Who is Maro Itoje's wife Mimi? Mimi Itoje is a model and artist who is married to England rugby captain Maro Itoje. In addition to rugby, Maro sometimes also works as a model. He's appeared on the cover of Tatler alongside Lady Amelia Windsor. It's understood the couple met during a shoot. She has been represented by London-based agencies including W Management. On top of her modelling career, Mimi is an artist — she creates acrylic on canvas paintings incorporating cultural themes. Maro proposed to his now-wife during a holiday to Nigeria and Ghana in August 2024. Mimi shared the happy news on Instagram alongside snaps of her dazzling ring, which she captioned and the caption: "Mrs I to be." Maro subsequently described the moment to the Daily Mail, saying: "We went to this beautiful aqua-safari in Ada, which is on the coast, about two hours from Accra. "It was a beautiful resort, and I popped the question there." England captain Maro Itoje hopeful for 'classy operator' Fin Smith starting against France in the Six Nations The couple married less than a month before the Lions tour kicks off on May 25, 2025. Maro celebrated the occasion by writing on social media: "Scripture says It is not good for man to be alone… I am no longer alone. "I HAVE A WIFE. To God be the Glory!!!!"

The cousins often show public support for each other, with Beno appearing on Maro's podcast titled Pearl Conversations. On the show, Maro interviews leaders and groundbreakers from various fields including music, sports, politics and art. 3 Maro reflected on their upbringing on Pearl Conversations, saying: "For you and I, rugby has never really been [there] when we were growing up — as you said, from when we were born to when we went to secondary school. "Before then, rugby was never really a thing for us. Coming from a Nigerian household where, if it's any sport at all, it's football. If it's not football, then it's books.""If it's not football, then it's books." Maro's Rugby career Born in Camden, London, Maro didn't pick up rugby until he was 11, discovering the sport at secondary school. Before committing to rugby, he also competed at shot put and basketball. He joined Saracens at the tender age of 17 in 2012. In 2016, Maro went on to earn his first senior England cap against Italy when he was just 21.
