Liam Payne ‘SPLITS from girlfriend Kate Cassidy after 10 months as model moves out and jets back home to US’
Liam Payne has split from American girlfriend Kate Cassidy after 10 months.
The couple had been living together at his home in London but Kate has now moved out and jetted back to her home in the States.
There’s said to be no bad blood between the pair, with the couple ‘mutually’ deciding to end things.
A source told The Sun: ‘There was no big row or anything – it just ran its course and they both mutually decided to go their separate ways.
‘Liam knows it’s the right decision, he’s been throwing himself into his music and the rest of the year he is jampacked with work.’

The insider added: ‘In truth trying to juggle his career and keep his relationship alive throughout the summer and into autumn was always going to be tricky – they both realised that.’
The pair were last photographed together in April, when they enjoyed a night out at a fashion bash.
They went public with their romance back in October and made their red carpet debut as a couple at the British Fashion Awards shortly before Christmas.
MailOnline has contacted Liam’s representatives for comment.
In December, Liam fired back at a troll who claimed that the One Direction star’s girlfriend was just with him for the money.
Liam responded by screenshotting the message and putting it on his Instagram Stories and gushing over his new romance.
He said: ‘Gotta say you could tell me anything and I couldn’t be turned, I’ve never felt a love like I do for Katelyn. We make each other better people.’
Defending her against the gold digger accusations, he said: ‘If it was just for the money I’d give her all of it.’

He continued: ‘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.’
Liam’s bold claim about his relationship with Kate came after his high-profile previous relationships with Cheryl and Maya Henry.
Despite his insistence he’s never felt ‘a love like it’, Liam was engaged to Maya and shares a son, Bear, with ex-girlfriend Cheryl.
