Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy has shared a touching unseen photo of the late singer, taken before his tragic death.
The influencer, 26, has been offering glimpses into her relationship with the One Direction star since he tragically passed away at the age of 31 while in Argentina in October last year.
On Friday, she took to her Instagram Stories to post a image of the pair that had never been seen by the public.
The intimate snap showed the couple holding hands on a beach, with their faces out of view.
Liam was wearing white shorts as he held her hand, with some of his distinctive arm tattoos visible in the snap.
Just days ago, Kate shared snaps from her last holiday with the One Direction star - and the special meaning behind them.
The influencer took to Instagram on Monday to share pictures of herself from a lavish trip to Greece, seven months after his tragic death, as well as a getting ready snap where the star could be seen behind her in the mirror.
Kate looked sensational in the snaps, with her skin glowing as she donned a white lace and satin summer dress.
She said Liam had done 'everything to get me the perfect photo' and gushed over how beautiful she looked, but she admitted to only finding flaws.
However in tribute to the star she shared all of the pictures 'unedited, unfiltered' to celebrate 'the way you saw me'.
Sharing the carousel of snaps, Kate wrote: 'These are some of the last photos Liam took of me. We were in Greece, on our last holiday together. I asked Liam to take a few photos of me because I really loved my dress.
'As usual, with no hesitation, Liam did everything he could to get me the perfect photo. We walked around the entire resort trying to find the perfect background.
'That's just who he was. Always thinking of me in the most thoughtful ways. While he was taking them, he kept smiling and saying how beautiful I looked and how I was going love every picture.
'When I looked back at the photos, all I saw were flaws. I hated how I looked. My pose, my hair, my face- everything. I picked myself apart, and told him I'd try editing them, maybe fix them enough to find one I liked.
'He just looked at me and said, "I wish you saw how beautiful you are through my eyes".'
She added: 'And I didn't listen. I let my insecurities silence the way he saw me that night. So today, I'm posting them. For you, Liam. Just as they are. Unfiltered, unedited. Just me. The way you saw me. I miss you. I love you. Always.'
It was revealed last week that Liam, 31, died without leaving a will - meaning UK intestacy laws will determine where his money goes.
That means his ex Cheryl Tweedy, 41, was appointed to take control of his estate alongside music industry lawyer Richard Bray.
Court papers confirmed Cheryl is now responsible for Liam's property, money and possessions - a huge task the star is said to be quietly managing behind the scenes.
Liam and Cheryl dated for two years and share an eight-year-old son, Bear, who is expected to inherit his dad's fortune via a trust.
It's believed Kate will not receive any money from the estate due to inheritance rules that prioritise children and spouses.
Kate's post came just a day after she made a candid admission about her mental health after sharing a TikTok video to her 1.5 million followers.
Kate told fans she needed a 'mental reset day' just days after it was revealed she could receive nothing from the late One Direction star's inheritance.
She took to her social media on Saturday to share her struggles grieving over Liam's death, revealing she could barely get out of bed.
Lying makeup-free in a yellow hoodie, Kate opened up to fans while sitting on her bed, saying: 'I've been laying in bed for the past hour.
'It's one of those mornings where it's hard for me to get out of bed and start my day.'
She added: 'So I've decided I'm going to take a mental reset day and bring you guys along.'
Kate - who lived with Liam in Florida for two years prior to his shock death last October - filmed herself putting on makeup and getting dressed in a lilac vest and joggers.
She then took her dog for a walk, met a friend for lunch and tucked into a salmon salad before attending a therapy session and enjoyed some pampering.
Kate's video sparked a flurry of messages from her followers, with many supporting her for speaking out and showing her struggle.
They wrote: 'I am always thinking of you Kate, Liam’s memory will live on through the beautiful love you both shared. Sending you all the strength & love your way. We love you so much!'
'Good for you! We all should take a mental reset day! ❤️ '
'Liam is so so proud of you Kate ❤️'
'It’s good to have a mental reset day once in a while!!! It’s so good for us, and helps us during difficult times. Much love!'
