Liam Payne’s ex-fiancee: Maya Henry breaks her silence for the first time

Around four months after the death of Liam Payne (1993-2024), Model Maya Henry (25) looks back on the relationship between the two. The singer had death on October 16, 2024 in a fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. “He was someone I loved very much”. She continues to respond to the reasons why the on-off relationship still failed. The two were a couple with interruptions from 2018 to 2022.

“In the beginning it was drug use and the addictions that torn us apart,” she told the magazine. The two reported to know each other in 2018 at a fashion show at Lake Como, in November 2019 he made a marriage proposal. Anyone who has ever been with a addict knows how difficult it is, Henry continues. “Although I loved him very much, he did things that hurt me in a way that I will never fully understand, and he injured me years after our separation,” said the 25-year-old.

Under the influence of drugs, the singer had become someone “whom I did not recognize – so different from his sober self.” She always had the hope that every new incident would be a wake-up call for the One Direction singer so that he would get help, but that was not the case. “I tried to be there for him. I loved him so much that I talked to myself, I could get things in order. I ignored all warning signals.”

She knew that Liam Payne was struggling with herself. “Parts of his identity, which he was not ready to get full, even within our relationship.” In the end, it was not just the betrayal or the addictions that led to separation – “it was the realization that I had spent years in something that was never what I was thinking for. I not blame him for his fights . “

As the “BBC” reported, Payne died of “polytrauma”. A toxicological report published in November showed that Payne had traces of “alcohol, cocaine and prescription antidepressants” in his body at the time of his death.

At the beginning of February, Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy (25) revealed in an interview with “The Sun” that she could not explain why he was taking the drugs that day. Before her own early departure from Argentina, Payne was in a “good mental state”. “Obviously, if I knew it if I could have looked into the future, I would never have left Argentina,” said the 25-year-old. In addition, she said about her deceased partner: “From the moment I met Liam, I really believed that we were soul mates. He was the most modest, most charming, normal person you could wish for, and really one of the best people that I have ever met in my life. “
