Overview
- Cassidy announced the breakup in a TikTok video this week and said her new partner — whom she called “Joe” — texted to end the relationship because her comparisons to Liam were 'too much.'
- She described the romance as moving quickly, saying she met his family and took trips with him before the split and that she 'f***ed up' by checking him against her late partner.
- On Instagram Cassidy posted a photo captioned 'Single and happy (I hate being single)' and shared bikini snaps from a girls' holiday in Montauk as she discussed struggling with being alone.
- The posts underline Cassidy's ongoing public grief for Liam Payne, who died in October 2024, and include repeated tributes in which she says she will 'always love Liam.'
- Tabloid outlets have amplified the story, linking her social-media disclosures to broader coverage of Payne's death and reports about his son's inheritance of his estate.
