Liam Payne, the former One Direction member, tragically passed away on October 16, 2024, at the age of 31.

Following his passing, Cassidy’s lifestyle has significantly changed. The couple’s home in Wellington, Florida, was put back on the market, and Cassidy has returned to the United States after attending Payne’s funeral in the UK. Despite her own income from social media partnerships, she will no longer enjoy the lavish lifestyle she had with Payne. A close friend emphasized that Cassidy has no plans to claim any part of Payne’s estate, as they were not married and he has a son.

Regarding the inheritance of Payne’s fortune, reports indicate that he had a will specifying that half of his estate would go to his seven-year-old son, Bear Gray Payne, whom he shared with his former partner, Cheryl Cole. The other half of the estate’s distribution remains unspecified.
