On Christmas Eve, she shared a post on her Instagram Stories that read, “Now that the holidays are here, I realize that it is a time for happiness and joy, but it is also a time of sadness and grief for so many.
‘Be kind to those around you this time of year, as the holidays can feel different for everyone. Sending all my love to those who are carrying grief this holiday.
“I hope the season brings you comfort and peace. I wish everyone loving and healthy holidays this year.

The couple first started dating in October 2022 and made their red carpet debut at the Fashion Awards later that year
Earlier this month, Kate shared an emotional tribute to the late singer in a TikTok video that featured adorable moments the couple shared during their two years together before his tragic death in the since-deleted clip.
Nearly three weeks after laying him to rest in Amersham, near his birthplace in England, she put together the tribute video, writing in her caption: “I love you.”
In a one and a half minute TikTok post, she collected fragments of it with the song Fade Into You by Mazzy Star.
They were seen laughing, hugging and kissing on adventures around the world – at a theme park, in scenic locations and in the cozy home they shared in Miami.
In one clip, Liam picked her up as she whimpered in delight.
She shared a video of them enjoying a cozy getaway in a cabin and exchanging bright smiles.
His grieving girlfriend also posted videos of them laughing while skiing and having fun at the bowling alley.
She recorded clips of them cuddling in bed, sharing kisses on romantic dates and dancing together in the bathroom.

Before his tragic death, they had traveled to Argentina together to support his former bandmate Niall Horan at his concert.
Kate returned to their Miami home before Liam passed away in Buenos Aires.
In a TikTok video she shared in the days before the tragedy, she explained that she felt homesick after their five-day getaway turned into a two-week trip.
She later attended his funeral, which was also attended by his bandmates Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson.
Liam’s ex, Cheryl Cole, the mother of his seven-year-old son Bear, was also in attendance.
The autopsy concluded that he died of multiple injuries and external bleeding after falling from the balcony of his room on the third floor of the CasaSur hotel in the upmarket Palermo district.
The toxicology examination showed that there were ‘traces of alcohol, cocaine and a prescribed antidepressant’ in his system before his death.
