Liam Payne‘s girlfriend is recalling the late One Direction member’s final days … and revealing why she left him behind in Argentina before his death.

Kate Cassidy breaks her silence in her first interview since Liam’s October 2024 death, telling the Sun in an article published Wednesday she’s still in shock over his loss.

Liam’s GF says … “It still doesn’t feel fully real for me that he’s not here.” She says she thinks about him “every second of every day.”

Kate and Liam were on vacation in Argentina in the weeks leading up to his death, but she left for home in America and Liam stayed behind. She says it wasn’t the first time they traveled “separately” … and says she had to go back to Florida to care for their dog.

Liam’s death shocked the world and Kate says she’s fortunate she didn’t find out over social media … saying she was home with their dog scrolling TikTok when one of Liam’s friends called to deliver the tragic news.

Her immediate reaction … blacking out.

After Kate left Buenos Aires for Florida, Liam later fell to his death from his hotel balcony after partaking in a drug and alcohol bender. She says she never would have left if she knew something bad would happen.

President Donald Trump and Taylor Swift are already attending Super Bowl LIX … and now the big game may be getting even more star power — ’cause Kanye West says there’s a chance he’ll also be in the building!

Photogs caught Ye in L.A. Tuesday night where they asked West if he had any plans for Super Sunday. While he wasn’t fully committed, he said he and his wife Bianca Censori might “pull up” to NOLA and catch the action.

It wouldn’t be the first time Ye has attended the SB. In fact, he was in Las Vegas for the game last year (the Chiefs beat the 49ers), rockin’ a face covering that featured a white crucifix, while Censori was decked out in an all-black fit.

West was also at the SB the Rams won at SoFi in L.A.

Ye’s appearance in Sin City didn’t come without some controversy … there were erroneous reports that Taylor Swift had West removed from the stadium after allegedly buying a ticket in front of her luxury suite. Kanye’s people adamantly denied that claim.

If Kanye and Bianca do attend the game, you can bet they’ll push the limits with their fits. After all, Censori pulled up to the Grammys on Sunday in a see-through dress.

Candace Sublett and Marisela Aramino, members of the Tarrant County Democratic Party in Texas, are issuing a stern warning as President Donald Trump orders crackdowns on illegal immigration … noting recent mass arrests could have a dire ripple effect.

The women, who’ve coordinated rallies in Texas against ICE’s increase in raids, tell TMZ … there’s a misconception about who is being targeted, explaining it’s not just blue-collar laborers being arrested, but key economy contributors, too — including teachers, doctors, bank tellers, and engineers.

As Candace puts it … the raids go against the “fabric of the Constitution,” which encourages people to come to the United States of America in order to build a better life.
