Liam Payne’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, seemingly honored the late One Direction singer with a tattoo tribute.
The influencer debuted a pair of angel wings on her index and middle fingers in a photo of herself cuddling up to their adopted dog, Nala.
Cassidy shared the image to her Instagram Story on Sunday in a rare social media post.

The singer tragically died at age 31 on Oct. 16 after falling from a balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Cassidy’s photo with Nala seemed to be a subtle nod to the “Teardrops” musician, as they adopted the dog together one month prior to his death.

8 In a video posted to Cassidy’s TikTok on Sept. 16, she shared that she was “so nervous” to ask her boyfriend if they could adopt a dog from the local shelter.
“How would you feel if we gave the shelter a little call and went to go rescue a dog?” she recalled asking Payne.
The internet personality then shared a brief clip of Payne meeting Nala, which Cassidy captioned, “Liam was totally on board.”
Payne and Cassidy — who he began dating in October 2022 — adopted the 4-month-old dog because they wanted to “give her a second chance at a better life.”
