Kate Cassidy EXCLUSIVE: Sharing Her Last Conversation with Liam Payne and The Real Story Behind Their Relationship

Have you ever had a hard goodbye with someone you cared about?

What’s one thing you wish you’d said to someone you lost?

Today, Jay sits down with Kate Cassidy, partner to Liam Payne — internationally beloved artist and former One Direction member — who tragically passed away in October. Kate opens up about the profound impact of losing her partner, the weight of grief, and how she’s learning to move forward. From their chance meeting in Charleston while she was working as a waitress to the whirlwind of building a life together, Kate reflects on the joy, the challenges, and the deep emotional connection they shared.

Kate expresses the emotional weight of being in the public eye, the toll of online criticism, and the realities of loving someone navigating mental health and addiction. She recounts the beauty in their every day routines, the balance they brought to each other’s lives, and the small, intimate moments that built the foundation of their relationship. Kate speaks candidly about the day she received the devastating news of Liam’s passing and the days that followed, marked by shock, numbness, and a grief unlike any other.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Support a Partner Struggling with Mental Health

How to Handle Grief After Losing a Loved One

How to Create Daily Routines That Support Healing

How to Find Strength When You Feel Powerless

How to Set Boundaries While Being a Caregiver

How to Keep Moving Forward When Life Changes Overnight

Kate's vulnerability is a powerful reminder that grief doesn’t follow a straight path — and that even in life’s most painful moments, there is space for love, learning, and hope.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

Have you seen The Joker? This film fascinated me. I’ve been through moments of depression and really low-points, so I watched it from the perspective of a student of mental health.

In this episode, I want to help break the stigma of mental health and give you the tools to improve yours. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
