Despite past relationships, it wasn't until October 2022 that he and Kate became an item, even as rumors swirled about a potential breakup in May 2023, the pair remained together up until his unexpected passing.

Heartbreakingly, in one of his final Snapchat updates, the singer shared that they were enjoying time with friends in Argentina.

Kate and Liam turned heads when they first emerged as a duo at a Halloween party in October 2022, donning iconic Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson costumes. The influencer flaunted their coupled-up look on her Instagram and even gave a glimpse into their Rome getaway.

They later graced the red carpet together during their debut in December at the British Fashion Awards, where Kate posted a snapshot of their evening.

Liam couldn't help but leave a cheeky yet affectionate comment saying: "Who is that lucky lucky dashing young man next to you nah seriously you look fantastic I coulda just told you that as your on the sofa next to me but you know tech and phones n stuff."

Their relationship quickly became Instagram official, but not without backlash as Kate faced harsh comments from online bullies accusing her of being after Liam's wealth.

I've never felt a love like I do for Katelyn. We make each other better people."

He continued passionately: "If it was just for the money, I'd give her all of it. It's not though (please remember I'm hella sexy) and I know I'm fun and a loveable person. And I don't give a f--- to say that for the first time in my life I'm happy to be me and that's priceless."

Reflecting on his approach to privacy in a romantic relationship, Liam once confidently expressed in a 2019 MTV News interview: "I'm kind of at the place in my life now where I just realize it's not worth sacrificing my happiness just because somebody might see something," adding, "I don't have anything to hide."
