Kate Cassidy breaks silence after Liam Payne's £24m estate confirmed to go to son

Kate Cassidy, Liam Payne's girlfriend at the time of his death, has posted a lighthearted Instagram update after it was revealed she will not inherit any of Payne's £24 million estate. Payne, who died last October at age 31 after falling from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony, left no will, meaning under UK law his assets will go to his eight-year-old son Bear in a trust, with Bear's mother Cheryl Tweedy granted administrative control. Cassidy, who dated Payne for two years and had previously discussed marriage plans, is not entitled to any inheritance as the couple were neither married nor in a civil partnership. Her social media post, showing the contents of her purse, appeared to ignore the inheritance news, focusing instead on everyday life and personal interests. Sources close to Payne note that his financial arrangements ensure Bear will be well provided for, reflecting Payne's desire to care for his son. Cassidy has continued to share glimpses of her life on social media, including recent glamorous outings.
