Liam Payne’s Sister Ruth Says Living Without Him Is “Impossible” 6 Months After His Death (2025)

Ruth—one of Liam's two older sisters, along with Nicola Payne—admitted that she often looks for signs of him wherever she is.

"I see you, though," she explained. "You're always coming through in different ways to put me back on the right path. I miss you loudly, quietly and in all the moments in between."

Ruth, 34, concluded, "Love you so much more than these words or my tears are capable of expressing but I know you know this. For now, I'll meet you in my dreams."

She isn't the only loved one who's opened up about their grieving process, as the "Strip Down" singer's girlfriend Kate Cassidy shared that she still struggles to accept his death.

"I find myself talking about him so much in the present tense, and it's something where I don't feel the need to correct myself because I still can't fully—that's part of my healing journey," Kate said on the British morning show Lorraine last month. "I'm still working on accepting the fact that he's not here anymore, so it's hard for me to refer to him in the past tense, and when I do refer to him in the past tense, it almost stings that little bit more. It's more official."

"I never would've thought that I would be talking about him in the past tense," she explained, "so it's definitely really hard to accept."

The influencer, 25, emphasized that she has a close circle of people to lean on, as well as the support from One Direction fans worldwide.

"I am trying to do my best," she added. "I have my better days, I have my harder days, but I am surrounded by such a great support system that I cannot thank enough. Having [our dog] Nala around obviously, as well, has helped me so much with my healing journey, and I just couldn't thank everybody enough, all my friends, my family, just for being there for me and being so supportive."
