Kate Cassidy can't help but compare men to her late boyfriend Liam Payne.
The 27-year-old influencer dated the former One Direction singer for two years until his tragic death at the age of 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina in 2024 and explained that none of her potential romances since can compare to the "f****** hot, funny, kind and generous" star.
Kate said in a TikTok post: "I compare literally everyone to my late partner, for anybody that's new here I lost my partner a year and a half ago and he kind of hit every single box on the check list."
The influencer explained how she was "icked out" when her date forced a friend who accompanied them to pay her own bill.
Cassidy said: "I was icked out, Liam never did that, ever, some of these men are like pulling teeth."
The social media personality has been open about her grief for the Strip That Down artist but revealed last month that she was ready to begin dating once again.
Kate said in an Instagram video: "I am ready to start dating again. It has been a year and a half since Liam passed away.
"I think that love after loss is a big chapter within your grief journey and I don't know how that is going to feel. But I do know that I loved being in love.
"I want to have kids one day, I want to have a family and I know Liam would want that for me and if the roles were reversed I would want him to be happy and fall in love again."
She added: "I will always love Liam and that will never change no matter who I meet and who comes into my life.
"I am going to think about Liam on my wedding day, I am going to think about him everyday for the rest of my life and that goes without saying."
Meanwhile, Kate previously took to TikTok to hit out at a cruel online troll who told her to move on from Liam.
She said on the social media platform: "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."
