The couple first started dating in October 2022 and made their red carpet debut at the Fashion Awards later that year
Earlier this month Kate shared an emotional tribute to the late singer in a TikTok video which in the since-deleted clip showed adorable moments the couple shared during their two years together before his tragic death.
Nearly three weeks after laying him to rest in Amersham, near his hometown in England, she compiled the tribute video and wrote in her caption: ‘I love you.’
In a minute-and-a-half TikTok post, she compiled clips of them to the song Fade Into You by Mazzy Star.
They were seen laughing, hugging and kissing on adventures all over the world — at a theme park, at scenic locations and in the cozy home they shared together in Miami.
In one clip, Liam was picking her up as she yelped in delight.
She shared a clip of them enjoying a cozy getaway in a cabin and exchanging bright smiles.
His grieving girlfriend also posted videos of them laughing while skiing and having fun at the bowling alley.
She included clips of them cuddling in bed, sharing kisses on romantic dates and dancing in the bathroom together.

Before his tragic passing, they had travelled to Argentina together to support his former bandmate Niall Horan at his concert.
Kate returned to their Miami home days before Liam’s passing in Buenos Aires.
In a TikTok video she shared in the days before the tragedy, she explained that she was homesick after their five-day getaway turned into a two-week trip.
She later attended his funeral, which was also attended by his bandmates Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson.
Liam’s ex, Cheryl Cole, the mother of his seven-year-old son Bear, was also in attendance.
The autopsy concluded that he died from multiple injuries and external bleeding after falling from his room’s balcony on the third floor of the CasaSur hotel in the upscale neighbourhood of Palermo.
The toxicological exams showed that there were ‘traces of alcohol, cocaine and a prescribed antidepressant’ in his body prior to his passing.
