She also shared another monochrome image on her Instagram Stories, showing Liam smiling warmly at the camera as Kate, bundled in a coat, hat, and scarf, hugs him tightly from the side. The comments under her post quickly filled with support from fans and followers expressing their condolences and love. One user wrote, “We miss him too. Thinking of you today,” while another added, “He’s always looking down on you.”

Since Liam’s death, Kate has been open about her grief, often sharing memories and reflections online. Earlier this year, she addressed criticism for posting AI-generated photos of herself and Liam. The digitally created images, made by fans, depicted the couple smiling together. While some followers found the gesture touching, others expressed concern about the use of AI in memorial content, calling it “distasteful.”

Kate’s latest tribute reflects her continued love and mourning for Liam, who passed away last year. Fans continue to share messages of comfort, reminding her that Liam’s legacy — both in music and in the hearts of those who loved him — remains strong.
