Kate Cassidy has spoken candidly about dating again after losing Liam Payne in 2024 and admitted she was recently dumped because she held the new man up to the late One Direction star's standards.

Liam tragically passed away in October 2024 when he fell from a balcony in Argentina shortly after holidaying with Kate there and she's previously spoken about her journey with grief.

Earlier this year Kate, 27, revealed to her followers that she felt ready to date again, and received tonnes of support by Liam's fans, however she's struggled to settle down.

In a new TikTok, the influencer told her 1.8 million followers: "I got dumped you guys. I have been super MIA on here about my updated dating situation, that is because I recently met someone.

"I feel like things were moving super fast, if you know me you know I have a tendency of moving fast...

"Let's just call this guy Joe.

"Joe was really sweet and a lot of things I wanted in a guy.

"He's super low-key so he doesn't have any social media, which I actually really liked.

"I met his family, he took me on trips, things were going really well, really quick."

Kate added that her constantly comparing 'Joe' to Liam eventually led to the breakdown of their romance.

She continued: "I f***** up, dating after losing somebody that you genuinely thought you were going to spend the rest of your life with is really tough because I physically look for Liam in every single guy that I meet.

"If they don't hit all the checkmarks I tend to either back away or almost resent this person, and it's so crazy.

"There were certain times where I would get so angry with this guy, because I would physically be like, 'Oh well Liam would do this so why aren't you doing this?'

"Or he would do something and I would be like, 'Liam would never do that, why are you doing that?'

"He texted me yesterday and told me we should go our separate ways because it's just too much, and I understand.

"I feel sad because I don't like losing people and I feel like especially in the beginning of a situationship it's so fun and you're so excited to see where it goes."

Her followers flooded her comment section with supportive messages, one wrote: "Eventually you will find the right person again. Hope you are doing okay love."

Another wrote: "Liam will send you the right person at the right time."

Kate's update comes after it was reported that Liam's son 9-year-old Bear, who is being raised by mum Cheryl, is set to inherit his entire 21 million estate, with the money said to be placed in a trust until he reaches adulthood.
