Kate Cassidy finds sign from Liam Payne in a rainbow: 'He had to say hello...'
The 26-year-old influencer had been dating former One Direction star Liam for over two years when he died in October 2024 after falling off a balcony in Buenos Aires at the age of 31, and during an appearance at Miami Grand Prix over the weekend, she revealed that a sign had come to her that she thinks was from the tragic singer.
Alongside a snap of herself at the major sporting event, she wrote on Instagram: "had such a great time at f1"
In the carousel, Kate shared a short video of a rainbow in the sky and a fan wrote: "Liam showing up through the rainbow".
Kate replied: "He had to say hello."
The positive update comes just weeks after Kate admitted that she was having to push herself to leave the house for the sake of her mental health.
Speaking on UK TV show 'Lorraine', she said: "I've always enjoyed walking. I would consider myself an active person but obviously, now I'm going through this healing journey, sometimes it's hard for me to get out of bed in the morning and it is something that I don't want to do.
"In a way, I have no choice. I have to get out of bed. A 20-minute walk refreshes my mind, it gets me out of bed and really, really helps my mental health."
Kate - who had been with Liam on a trip to the Argentinian capital but left to go home to the US just hours before the tragedy occurred- still discusses the 'Strip That Down' singer in the "present tense" and hasn't yet accepted that he is no longer here, but has "better days and harder days" amid her grief.
She said: "I find myself talking about him still very much in the present tense. I don't even feel the need to correct myself because I still can't fully...it's part of my healing journey. 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 have thought I would be talking about him in the past tense so it's definitely really hard to accept."
"I am trying to do my best. I have my better days, harder days but I'n surrounded by such a great support system that I can not thank enough. "

Karl Stefanovic's model daughter Willow, 20, stuns in rare sighting with 'wealthy' polo player boyfriend during St Tropez getaway
Willow Stefanovic has stunned during a European getaway in France. The 20-year-old daughter of Today host Karl Stefanovic, 50, and his ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn, took to Instagram on Thursday to share striking photos of herself in the picturesque St Tropez on the French Riviera. Willow smiled and mingled with friends and her Argentine polo player boyfriend Genaro Abdala Garcia at bustling seaside restaurants. Genaro could be seen affectionately kissing Willow on the cheek as he wrapped his arm around her, both of them wearing matching linen shirts. The snap marks a rare sighting of Willow with Genaro, who stays out of the spotlight and keeps his social media accounts private. Little is known about the elusive polo player, except that he works in finance, according to Woman's Day. The couple went public with their relationship in May 2024 after meeting in Aspen, Colorado, where Willow was holidaying with her father and brothers, Jackson and River, over Christmas, the publication reported. 'Willow has fallen for a wealthy Argentinian polo player who works in business banking and finance – his name is Genaro Abdala, and if she's smitten, he's head over heels!' a source said. "His family have a place in Spain, and he's been treating her to lavish trips to Ibiza – she's living the high life.' Willow also shared another snap in which she donned a striking brown and white halter-neck dress, the number accentuating her slender figure. Her brunette locks were effortlessly gathered in a knot, and the model finished the look with sunglasses, matching pearl earrings and necklace. She opted to wear her tresses down in another photo of the beauty strolling the streets of St Tropez in a figure-hugging black midi dress. Willow showed off her glamorous makeup and golden tan in the snap from weeks of soaking up the European rays. People flooded the comments praising Willow, with her mother-in-law, Jasmine Stefanovic, writing: "Love these" and a red heart emoji. "You are so beautiful," another person said. A third fan said, "Wow you look so good," while one more person Willow looked "stunning". "Incredible!" another person said. "Aghhh, so stunning," added one more person. It comes as Willow continues to share her worldwide travels with her 11,000 followers on social media. In June, she was seen at an Italian wedding as a guest, where she looked glamorous in a summer-inspired pale pink $463 House of CB dress. The 20-year-old resides in London, where she began studying for a degree in fashion at the prestigious London College of Fashion in 2023. And she is already making moves to follow in her famous father's footsteps into the spotlight, after signing with Precision MGMT in 2021. Willow told Stellar Karl "backs me 100 per cent as long as I'm happy." "We all know I didn't get my fashionista gene from him,' she said. Karl said he encouraged his daughter's pursuit and said her modelling was just the tip of the iceberg of her many wide-ranging interests. "She doesn't go into anything blindly, especially the fashion world," he said. "She's a strong, independent young woman and wants to pursue lots of things in life. We love her spirit."

Life in the fast lane: Inside the real estate portfolio of F1 star Brad Pitt
Star of the new hit sports film F1, Brad Pitt is most widely known for his award-winning film roles. However, in real estate circles the star is just as well known as an architecture aficionado, having purchased multiple architecturally significant properties throughout his career. Now in his 60s, the leading man has amassed a multi-million dollar property portfolio filled with iconic homes, secluded estates and lucrative commercial properties. Here are some of the incredible properties that make up Pitt's real estate portfolio. The Steel House - $5.5 million According to the Robb Report, Pitt purchased the architecturally-designed Steel House in a secret off-market deal with oil heiress Aileen Getty. Pitt paid a reported $5.5 million (AUD $8.3 million) for the midcentury-modern Los Feliz home, days after he sold Getty his own Los Feliz home that he once lived in with ex-wife Angelina Jolie and their six kids for $33 million (AUD $50 million). Designed by architect Neil M. Johnson in 1960, the L-shaped home features floor-to-ceiling windows, cantilevered roofline and terrazzo floors. Straight from a Slim Aarons photograph, the distinctly Southern Californian home wraps around a central swimming pool and patio, framed by lush landscaping. Luxury amenities in the property include a redwood hot tub, sauna and a retro white open fireplace. The D.L. James House - $40 million In 2022, Pitt made another significant off-market purchase. This time it was the iconic D.L. James House in Carmel Highlands, which the star bought for a record-breaking $40 million (AUD $60.6 million). Perched on a rocky seaside bluff, the residence was built by Charles Sumner Greene around 1918. Commissioned by writer D.L. James, Carmel Magazine states the design of the home was based on "the ruins of Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, England". Locally known as 'Seaward', the home has an illustrious history with many famous former residents including Jesse James, Charlie Chaplin and Joan Didion. Built entirely with stone, the Mediterranean-style home appears to grow out of the rocky cliff-face and offers unobstructed ocean views. It features arched windows, an outdoor courtyard, tile roof and dedicated staff wing. Château Miraval - $60 million One of Pitt's largest real estate holdings is an 1,200-acre estate and winery in Correns, France known as Château Miraval. Originally Pitt rented the property with his ex-wife Jolie, before the couple purchased it in 2012 for $60 million (AUD $91 million). The 35-room château includes a recording studio, a Romanesque chapel where the couple were married, indoor and outdoor pools, a gym and spa, and a screening room. The grounds feature multiple cottages, olive groves, a private lake, dirt bike course, helipads and a vineyard that launched a rose in 2013. After their divorce, Jolie sold her 50 percent share to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler's Stoli Group - a deal that is still being contested in court by Pitt. Goleta Beach House - $4 million Located outside Santa Barbara, is the secluded Goleta Beach House that Pitt was reported to have purchased in 2000 for $4 million (AUD $6 million). The star bought the oceanfront home not long after his marriage to star Jennifer Aniston and it was believed to have been a romantic hideaway for the pair. Set on an expansive 11.5-acre plot near Gaviota State Park, the home offers direct coastal access and ocean views. Frogtown Studios - $6.93 million Not satisfied with only residential investments, in 2021 Pitt secured three commercial properties in Los Angeles's Frogtown neighbourhood. The actor paid a reported $2.93 million (AUD $4.4 million) for a vintage manufacturing building on Clearwater Street. A year later, he purchased two plots directly across the street for around $4 million (AUD $6 million). Pitt acquired the properties in the former industrial area from his longtime friend British sculptor Thomas Houseago.

Kate Hudson and son Ryder ‘leaned on' brother Oliver Hudson during Chris Robinson divorce
Kate Hudson and her son Ryder Robinson 'leaned on' her brother Oliver Hudson during her divorce from Chris Robinson. The 46-year-old actress - who has Ryder, 21, with her ex-husband - split from Chris in 2007 following seven years of marriage, and Kate has now revealed Oliver, 48, offered his support to the pair amid her divorce 'without [her] even having to ask'. Speaking on their Sibling Revelry with Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson podcast, the Almost Famous star said she felt like she could 'often' rely on her brother, and that 'the biggest time was in divorce'. She explained: 'For me, with you in my divorce with having Ryder and being a working mom, I felt like you really stepped up without me asking. 'It's just that you just stepped up as Uncle Ollie and was really there for us and Ryder. I think that period of time, you really stepped up for me without me even having to ask for it. 'In reflection, you were so stable for Ryder and myself.' Kate - who also has Bingham 'Bing' Hawn, 14, with her ex-fiance Matt Bellamy and Rani Rose Hudson Fujikawa, six, with her now-fiance Danny Fujikawa - added that she and Oliver had 'created fun times with the kids'. For the Rules of Engagement actor, Oliver noted there are 'micro leanings' that constantly occur between himself and his sister. He said: 'There's little things that happen. It's not these big catastrophic events where it's like, 'Here, put your head on my shoulder.' It's the little things.' Kate has been engaged to musician Danny, 39, since 2021, though the Running Point actress recently admitted she may never marry him as she likes to have her 'freedom'. During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, she said: 'I think it's been two or three [years]. My fantasy is to get engaged and to stay engaged. 'I just don't have the same kind of like, 'Oh my God, I'm going to get married … and I can't wait for the party!' It's the opposite. 'I'm like, 'OK, I have to plan it, and then it's going to cost so much money,' and it's just a lot. 'I like the idea of being engaged forever. You have the ring, the promise, the ultimate commitment. The contractual thing is tough for me. I like my freedom … I like the concept of freedom.'
