Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy sent temperatures soaring in a skimpy bikini as she shared sizzling Instagram snaps on Monday during a lavish Caribbean getaway.
The influencer, 27, who was in a relationship with the singer until his death, showed off her amazing figure as she soaked up the sun in the Dominican Republic.
Kate wowed in a blue bikini and styled her brunette tresses in loose waves and shielded from the sun under a £810 Dior bucket hat.
The stunner accessorised with a simple silver chain cross necklace and carried a small green Bottega Veneta shell handbag.
Kate kept comfortable in a pair of beige woven sandals as she posed up a storm by a swimming pool before relaxing on a sun lounger.
Last month, Kate eyed up a role on reality dating show The Bachelorette, 17 months on from One Direction star Liam’s death.
Liam died aged 31 in October 2024, after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and was found to have alcohol and cocaine in his system.
Now, Kate, who dated singer Liam for two years until his shock death, has teased she is ready to start dating again as she filmed a fun new TikTok video.
The American influencer tagged the network responsible for The Bachelorette and asked to be chosen for the show.
Kate danced for the camera wearing sunglasses and wrote: ‘Heard they’re looking for a new Bachelorette…. hi’.
She captioned the post: ‘hi abc’.
Fans took to the comments to say they would tune-in if Kate starred on the hit US show because she would be a ‘good match’.
They wrote: ‘I’d watch the show for the first time if you went on it; Wait but genuinely can this happen; Girl wait.. you might be onto something here..;
‘Your season would EAT; Actually you would be a good match for this; I’d watch the bachelorette for the first time in my life if they picked you’.
Bachelorette was cancelled after a horrifying video of new contestant Taylor Frankie Paul attacking her ex, Dakota Mortensen, surfaced for the first time.
Disney Entertainment Television said last week, ‘In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family.’
Kate recently hinted she is ready to find love again as she jumped into the arms of a mystery man in a sweet TikTok video last week.
She looked happier than as she was twirled around in the mystery mans arms prompting fans to comment she ‘deserves to feel love again’.
The American influencer walked down a street with the hunk as she was scooped up into his arms and twirled around.
However, Kate tagged her male friend Michael in the caption, prompting some fans to point out he is her sister Amy’s friend.
Last year Kate broke down in tears and said that her future boyfriends would have to accept that she’ll ‘always love’ Liam.
The influencer shared an update as she hit back at an online troll who said that they wished he would stop talking about the late singer and move on.
The pair had been together for two years before he passed away, with Kate documenting her journey with grief on social media.
In a TikTok video, Kate said: ‘I want to make something clear. Whoever I end up with in my future will have to accept the fact I will always love Liam.
‘I will always talk about Liam I will always laugh about Liam, I will always cry about Liam.’
Kate continued: ‘Let me tell you something, Liam Payne was my boyfriend. He wasn’t just this famous figure to me.
‘It hurts so bad because I am just criticised all the time for speaking about my boyfriend that passed away, the person that I loved and still do love. I would never settle for anyone in this lifetime who did not feel comfortable enough with me speaking about Liam.
‘Liam was a very big part of my life. He was my best friend, somebody I really thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with and, obviously, I know one day I’m going to have to move on. I want to get married one day. I want to have kids.
‘When a person dies, they die twice, once when they actually die and the second time when you stop speaking about them. I’m not going to have Liam die twice on me. I will love him forever.’
