British Fashion Awards 2022: Liam Payne dresses to impress as he makes his red carpet debut with underboob-flashing girlfriend Kate Cassidy – weeks after confirming romance

Liam Payne and his new girlfriend Kate Cassidy made their red carpet debut at the 2022 British Fashion Awards on Monday night at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

The singer, 29, looked suave in a black suit while the British-American influencer, 23, flashed her underboob in a racy black dress with midriff cutouts and a thigh-split. 

It’s understood that Kate is an American citizen of British heritage, through her father, and is close friends with model Chantel Jeffries. 

What a pair! Liam Payne and his new girlfriend Kate Cassidy made their red carpet debut at the 2022 British Fashion Awards on Monday night at London’s Royal Albert Hall

Based in New Jersey on America’s east coast, she was educated at North Carolina’s 252-year old College of Charleston, the 13th oldest institute of learning in the United States. 

An insider told The Sun: ‘They are mad about each other. Kate is a wild girl so Liam is definitely in for a fun ride. She is always out in nightclubs and seems to be loving London.’ 

Prior to their first appearance on Tuesday evening in London, Liam was believed to be single after Texan model Maya Henry broke off their engagement in April.  

The singer had originally proposed with a £3million ring in August 2020 after little more than a year of dating the brunette, who he first met at a One Direction meet-and-greet when she was 15 years old.

But the engagement was called off after the singer was pictured with Florida based influencer Aliana Mawla, who bears a passing resemblance to the model.

While Maya is frequently pictured alone in the English capital, Liam was seen with ex-girlfriend Danielle Peazer as recently as June. 

The singer was pictured leaving Nobu Hotel in Shoreditch with former X Factor dancer Danielle over the summer – nine years after their split.

A source told MailOnline at the time: ‘Liam has always had strong feelings for Danielle and was gutted when they split all those years ago.

‘They ended their relationship on good terms and are enjoying spending time together now, including on Sunday night.’

Danielle and Liam broke up in 2012 following a two-year romance – four years before he got together with Cheryl, 38, who’s the mother of his son, Bear, 5.

The pair reportedly called time on their relationship after struggling to make things work long-distance while Liam toured with One Direction amidst the height of their fame. 

During an interview in October 2012, Liam admitted he was ‘devastated’ by the couple’s separation.

He said: ‘I am really devastated by the breakup with Danielle. We had an amazing time together, but unfortunately sometimes things don’t go as planned.’
