Liam Payne's ex girlfriend Danielle Peazer has paid a heartfelt tribute to the One Direction star - and revealed she would 'cherish' his last message to her forever. Liam was on holiday in Buenos Aires, Argentina, when he tragically lost his life after falling from the balcony of his hotel room.

Now, Danielle, who was in a relationship with Liam from 2010 to 2012, shared a black and white photo of them enjoying ice cream together as she reflected: "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."

In her emotional conclusion, 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, she got back together with Liam, nine years post their breakup, and they were seen leaving the Nobu Hotel in Shoreditch together. The pair were also spotted at celebrity favourites Chiltern Firehouse and Annabel's.

However, the reunion was short-lived and Danielle started dating former Capital FM DJ Sonny Jay, who clinched the Dancing On Ice title in 2021. In May this year, Sonny and Danielle announced the arrival of their baby girl.
