Danielle Peazer reveals Liam Payne's touching final words before tragic death

Danielle Peazer, who dated Liam Payne for two years, has shared a heartbreaking tribute to the late One Direction star after he died aged 31

Danielle Peazer, the ex-girlfriend of Liam Payne, has shared a heartfelt tribute to the former One Direction star following his tragic death at the age of 31. The singer was on holiday in Buenos Aires, Argentina, when he tragically fell from the third-floor balcony of his hotel.

Danielle, who had a relationship with Liam between 2010 and 2012, took to Instagram to express her grief and request privacy during this difficult time. She also assured her followers that she would "share more" about her feelings when she feels "mentally strong enough to face the reality of what's happened."

In a touching post on her page, Danielle shared a throwback photo of the pair enjoying ice cream together.

She penned a lengthy tribute to Liam, stating: "Whilst we all take the time to navigate in a world without Liam, it's important to remember that while he was adored by millions as a world famous musician for the last decade, he was also someone's son and brother for more than 30 years, a friend to so many and more recently an uncle."

"His most important role and something he was the most proud of out of all of his monumental successes was that he was a father. The thought that there is a now a child growing up without one of their parents is heartbreaking and unfair. To Liam's son Bear, as well as his parents and sisters, my love, thoughts and strength goes to you. The magnitude of this loss is incomprehensible and I will continue to support you in any way I am able to."

"LJP, This still doesn't feel real. Despite being aware of your struggles over the years, I hoped and prayed that this day would never come. But now we're all facing the reality of living a life without your presence. It's common at times like this for people to say 'I hope he knew how much I cared about him' but I know that you knew how I felt, it was one thing we were really good at - being brutally honest with our feelings for each other, whether the other wanted to hear it or not."

She went on to say: "At times you were my favourite person in the whole world, but you could also wind me up so much and I probably annoyed the hell out of you sometimes too. It was something we learned to accept of each other over 14 years, we could disagree on so many things yet still look out for each other in times of need and laugh about our disagreements and petty behaviour 10 mins later."

"Our relationship may have ended back in 2013, but that seemed to be just the start of our story. The things we went through and experienced from then all the way until last year could be described as unique to some and misunderstood by others, but I think deep down we always knew we'd have some sort of connection forever, no matter where our individual lives took us.

"It took a little longer for you to figure out the person you wanted to be in order to be your happiest, but whilst most of us have our teens and twenties to learn about ourselves, you spent those years giving more to the world than you ever needed to. I wish you knew that you were always more than enough for this world without having to search for a role to play just to please others."

Concluding her emotional post, she added: "Thank you for teaching me about the importance of setting boundaries, and that I should always protect my heart. Receiving a message from you a couple of weeks ago expressing your happiness for the love I found with Sonny and Mia is something I'll cherish forever. I'm sorry your story didn't end differently, and I'm sorry you didn't ever get to share more of your magic with the world.Rest easy my friend. Love Danielle."

In 2022, Danielle got back together with Liam, nine years after they broke up, and they were seen leaving the Nobu Hotel in Shoreditch together. The pair were also spotted at celebrity favourite spots Chiltern Firehouse and Annabel's, reports the Mirror.

However, their reunion was short-lived and Danielle started dating former Capital FM DJ Sonny Jay, who was crowned the winner of Dancing On Ice in 2021. In May this year, Sonny and Danielle welcomed their baby girl into the world.
