Liam Payne’s ex-girlfriend, Aliana Mawla, has broken her silence following the tragic death of the One Direction singer at the age of 31 in a Buenos Aires hotel. Mawla, who reportedly dated Payne after his split from ex-fiancée Maya Henry, took to her Instagram Story to pay tribute to the pop star after he fell from the third-floor balcony of a hotel in Argentina.
In her Instagram posts, Mawla shared a photo of Payne at a concert and expressed her sorrow, saying, “I’m sorry this happened to you… will forever love and miss you.” Another post showed a photo of their interlocked hands, with Mawla writing, “Rest in paradise.”
Payne was previously seen with Mawla in May 2022, amidst allegations from Henry that Payne had been unfaithful with the model. A representative for Mawla denied these claims, stating that she would not involve herself in a public relationship if there was any truth to the accusations.
Prior to his death, Payne had been in a relationship with influencer Kate Cassidy. The couple had traveled to Argentina together, where they had attended a concert before Payne’s tragic accident. Cassidy returned home alone a few days before his death.
An initial autopsy revealed that Payne passed away from multiple traumatic injuries sustained from the fall. Local emergency services stated that his injuries were too severe for them to save him. In a statement, Payne’s family expressed their devastation and described him as kind, funny, and brave.
