Liam Payne is seen enjoying a night out at Chiltern Firehouse for the first time since splitting from girlfriend Kate Cassidy
Liam Payne has been spotted for the first time since splitting from his girlfriend of 10 months Kate Cassidy.
Despite his recent heartbreak, the One Direction star, 29, was in good spirits as he enjoyed a solo night out at London’s Chiltern Firehouse with a male friend.
Liam looked casual in a light gray bomber jacket and white T-shirt as he left the celebrity hot spot with his friend.
His outing comes just hours after it was revealed that he and Kate had split after a 10-month romance.
The couple lived together at his home in London, but Kate has now moved and flown back to her home in the United States.

There is said to be no bad blood between the couple, with the couple ‘mutually’ deciding to end things.
A source told The sun: ‘There wasn’t a big argument or anything – it just ran its course and they both decided to go their separate ways.
“Liam knows it’s the right decision, he’s throwing himself into his music and he’s packed with work for the rest of the year.”
The insider added, “In reality, juggling his career and keeping his relationship alive through the summer and into the fall was always going to be a pain — they both realized that.”
The pair were last photographed together in April, when they enjoyed a night out at the PrettyLittleThing showroom launch party.
They went public with their romance in October and made their red carpet debut as a couple at the British Fashion Awards shortly before Christmas.
MailOnline has reached out to Liam’s representatives for comment.

Liam responded by taking a screenshot of the post and posting it to his Instagram Stories and gushing about his new romance.
He said, “I have to say you can tell me anything and I can’t be turned around, I’ve never felt a love like I do for Katelyn.” We make each other better people.’
He defended her against the prospectors’ accusations, saying, “If it was all about the money, I’d give her everything.”
He continued, “It’s not though (please remember I’m hella sexy) and I know I’m fun and a lovely person.
“And I don’t give a fuck to say that for the first time in my life I’m happy to be myself and that’s priceless.”
Liam’s bold claim about his relationship with Kate came after his previous high-profile relationships with Cheryl and Maya Henry.
Despite his insistence he has never felt “a love like this”, Liam was engaged to Maya and the pair enjoyed a two-year on/off romance before breaking up for good in May 2022.
