Liam Payne s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, is paying solemn tribute to the former One Direction singer two days after his death at age 31.

On Friday, the social media influencer shared an emotional note to her Instagram stories, in which she thanked supporters for all of the kind words and love that has been sent my way while requesting privacy as she processed her grief.

Nothing about the past few days have felt real, she wrote. I ask and pray that youll give me the grace and space to navigate this in private.

She ended her note by addressing Payne, her boyfriend of two years, directly.

Liam, my angel. You are everything, she wrote. I want you to know I loved you unconditionally and completely. I will continue to love you for the rest of my life. I love you Liam.
