Liam Payne’s romantic history has been quite turbulent. Within a few years, he had a child with one woman, became engaged to another, and then broke up with her.
Liam Payne is a vocalist who was previously a member of the band One Direction. The singer was previously engaged to Maya Henry, but they separated in May 2022.
Early in 2022, he was briefly linked to model Aliana Mawla. Liam and Kate Cassidy reportedly separated in May of 2023.
Liam Payne appeared to be on top of the world during his One Direction days. He joined the band with fellow X-Factor contestants Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik at the age of 16 and became a global superstar generating hit songs.
However, it appears that his life since the band’s indefinite hiatus has not been so straightforward, especially his romantic relationships.
Since departing One Direction, the British singer has welcomed a child with his ex-girlfriend, the British musician Cheryl Cole. Then, he dated Texan model Maya Henry and became engaged to her, but their relationship ended in May 2022.
Following his silent yet perplexing breakup with Maya, Liam began dating Instagram model and influencer Aliana Mawla. He was most recently linked to influencer Kate Cassidy from the autumn of 2022 until their reported breakup in May 2023. Continue reading to learn the specifics of Liam’s aforementioned and other relationships.
Danielle Peazer
Liam began courting dancer Danielle Peazer in 2010 after meeting her at X-Factor auditions. Sadly, after two years of dating, the couple split up.
An insider told the Daily Mirror in 2012,
“They ended their relationship in recent days because it became increasingly difficult to maintain it as Liam spent more and more time away.” “In recent months, he has hardly been able to see Danielle, and with the band’s upcoming world tour, it was only going to get harder.”
Sophia Smith
The following year, Liam Payne began dating Sophia Smith, a childhood friend. Their relationship endured until 2015 when Sophia reportedly broke up with the “Get Low” singer because she wasn’t ready for a relationship of this magnitude.
A source told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY in October 2015, “Sophia felt their relationship had reached a point where they either decided to get married and settle down, or they went on to do something else and experienced more of the world.”
“Because she is so young, she opted for the latter option. Sophia has always been a self-reliant woman who believes she has much to accomplish. She desires to maintain cordial relations with Liam but recognizes that this will be more difficult now.
Cheryl Cole
Liam’s life came full circle in 2016 when he began dating British vocalist and X Factor judge Cheryl Cole. While fans were stunned by the relationship due to their 10-year age difference, they would have been less surprised if they had known how excited Cheryl was after Liam’s performance on the talent show.
During Liam’s first audition in 2008, Cheryl reportedly told him, “I like you,” People reports. “I find you to be quite adorable. I believe you possess charisma. “You know, that was a very cheeky wink,” she exclaimed. Two years later, she complimented his “really powerful” voice.
Furthermore, Liam’s ex-girlfriend Sophia confessed she was not surprised by the relationship. “Because they’re in the same industry, I wasn’t surprised,” she told MailOnline in July 2016. “Because I am five years older than him, I suspect he has a penchant for age differences. I mean, just look at her, I’d date her!” She also expressed her delight in his happiness.
Cheryl received the Global Gift philanthropist award at Eva Longoria’s Global Gift Gala in May 2016, where the couple made their red carpet debut.
According to People, the two lovers became pregnant shortly thereafter, and Cheryl was spotted in London in November of that year with a burgeoning baby bump. And in March of 2017, their son Bear was born.
“On Wednesday, March 22nd, Liam and I became parents to an incredibly beautiful, healthy baby boy, weighing 7lb 9 and looking like a dream,” Cheryl announced via Instagram, as reported by CBS News. “Despite not yet having a moniker, he is already winning hearts.
We are all passionately in love and overjoyed by the birth of our child. Mother’s Day greetings to all the mothers around the globe. A day that will eternally have a new significance for me.”
Liam Payne shared his own post of him cuddling his newborn and wrote,
“I am ecstatic to welcome our new baby boy into the world; it is a moment I will never forget and my favorite memory to date.” He continued, “I’m absolutely in awe of his extraordinary mother and how she has been throughout this entire process; she has made my dreams come true. We have not yet given him a name, but he is already winning hearts, including mine. I feel very fortunate.”
Cheryl and Liam were no longer able to enjoy the good times, and they went their separate ways. “Cheryl and I regretfully disclose that we are parting ways. It was a difficult choice for us to make.
As a family, we still have so much affection for one another. Bear is our universe, so please respect his privacy as we navigate this together,” Liam Payne tweeted in July 2018. Cheryl indicated in a November 2018 interview that Liam’s new lifestyle may have been too drastic for him.
“Therefore, [Liam] desired to have a family and not pursue a solitary career. We then encouraged him to do so,” she stated to The Sunday Times (via Mirror). “And then it didn’t work out.”
There appears to be no animosity between Liam and his ex-girlfriend, as the “Polaroid” singer has expressed excitement about co-parenting with her in 2021. “Cheryl is literally the ideal co-parenting partner. No anxiety is involved. We spend a great deal of time communicating via FaceTime,” he told Glamour.
Maya Henry
Unfortunately, the same cannot be stated about Liam and Maya Henry. After Liam’s divorce from Cheryl in 2019, the couple began dating. Liam asked for Maya’s hand in marriage in August 2020. Unfortunately, the couple ended up breaking off their engagement in June of 2021.
Liam Payne implied in an interview that his personal issues were at least partially to blame for the split. Liam confessed to Steven Bartlett, the host of the YouTube show The Diary Of A CEO, that he has never been very successful at relationships.
“I am aware of my relationship pattern at this juncture. I am simply not very skilled at them. I must first work on myself before imposing myself on others. I wasn’t presenting a very decent version of myself, and I didn’t like or appreciate myself. I feel improved as a result. I did not enjoy doing what I did, but it was necessary. It was in both of our best interests.”
Two months later, they found their way back to one another. The couple appeared to be going strong until April 2022, when rumors of a breakup began to circulate.
On May 23, Instagram model Aliana Mawla posted photographs of Liam cuddling her and holding her hand in her Instagram story, confirming their official breakup.
Maya pleaded with admirers to stop showing her photos of her ex-boyfriend with another woman in a since-deleted comment. Neither Liam nor Maya had publicly confirmed their breakup.
“I adore all of the fans, but please stop sending me these photos of my fiancé with another woman.” This is not me, and knowing that this has occurred is difficult enough without seeing it. Enough,” she penned beneath images of Aliana’s Instagram posts from fan accounts. Liam’s representative has since verified that the relationship between Maya and Liam has ended.
Aliana Mawla
It is unclear when Aliana and Liam began dating, but if his relationship with Maya ended in April, he appeared to have moved on swiftly. Aliana and Liam met while filming the music video for “Familiar,” a collaboration between J. Balvin and the father of one.
On May 24, 2022, the new couple made their first public appearance together. They were captured on camera strolling arm-in-arm through Heathrow Airport in London.
Kate Cassidy
Liam was recently linked to 24-year-old social media influencer Kate Cassidy, whom he began dating in the autumn of 2022. According to The Daily Mail, the couple was first observed at a Halloween party in October but did not make their relationship public until November.
The “Sunshine” singer and the 24-year-old dated for approximately seven months before breaking up in May 2023, per a source cited by US Weekly. The source informed the outlet on May 10 that Liam and Kate had broken up.
Liam Payne and Kate attended the premiere of All of Those Voices together and impressed on the red carpet prior to their breakup. Liam opted for a beige and black suit, while the blonde beauty sported a little black dress.
On March 22, 2023, just a few days later, they savored sushi in London. Not only did Kate post about it on social media, but she was also seen holding hands with her ex-boyfriend as they left the venue.
Kate posted a photo of herself with Liam on the red carpet on Instagram following the March premiere of the film, gushing about it. “What a mind-boggling eye-opening experience! It was wonderful to finally meet you,” Kate captioned the photo.
“I’m so pleased I got to share those tearful moments with you as you watched your best friend pass away… @louist91 Congratulations on creating a film that everyone will adore.” The member of One Direction and Kate have yet to confirm their separation.
