The former girlfriend of tragic One Direction star Liam Payne was given another poignant reminder of his pᴀssing on Monday. 

Payne suffered fatal head injuries after falling from a third floor balcony at the CasaSur H๏τel in upscale Palermo, Buenos Aires on October 16, 2024. 

Seven months on from that fateful day in the Argentine capital, the singer’s bereaved girlfriend Kate Cᴀssidy discovered a previous social media tribute to the singer, who was just 31 at the time of his death, had been shared 4,444 times. 

Uncannily, it is remarkably similar to the 4:44 figure adopted by Payne and Cᴀssidy as their ‘angel number’ prior to his sudden death. 

Drawing attention to her shares and their likeness to the angel number on Instagram, Cᴀssidy, 26, wrote: ‘Hi Liam.’

The influencer discovered an old social media tribute to the singer had been shared 4,444 times – similar to the 4:44 figure adopted by the couple as their ‘angel number’ 

The mystical figure has several hidden meanings behind it and is considered an angel number in numerology. 

Angel numbers are repeating sequences of digits, normally in sets of three or four, and they are believed to hold spiritual guidance.

While 333 symbolises growth and 555 represents change, 444 has its own unique meaning behind it.

In numerology, 444 is a sign that the ‘angels are with you’ and are ‘there to guide you step by step’.

The way the figures are formed means they represent stability and a reᴀssurance that you are not alone.

Numerology expert Sunny Dawn Johnston told Glamour: ‘When you see these numbers, know deep within that the angels are speaking to you, guiding and supporting you.

‘It’s a blessing to be in such direct communication with the divine.’

Cᴀssidy had originally flown with Payne to Buenos Aires while he renewed his visa and watched his former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan’s concert in the city on October 4.

However, the late singer stayed on in the Argentinian capital after she flew home on October 14.

Following his death last October, Cᴀssidy added ‘444’ to her emotional tribute to her ‘angel’ boyfriend and shared a snap of a note whre Payne had written the numbers.

How to discover your angel number, according to Tiny Rituals… 

1) Add up the numbers in your birthdate, month, and year. 

For example, if you’re born on August 25th, 1999 add 0 + 8 + 2 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 9

2) Then add the digits together to find your number 

For example, the above birthday adds up to 43, so you add 4 + 3 to get 7

She told her followers that she had been at a ‘complete loss’ following the tragedy and that ‘nothing about the past few days had felt real’.

The American influencer then posted the sequence ‘444’ in the bottom right-hand corner of the tribute next to a red heart emoji.

‘By interpreting these numbers as messages of love and guidance, individuals may feel a sense of connection to something greater, aiding in their healing process.
