However, as the trip extended to two weeks, Payne and his girlfriend reportedly experienced issues, as the latter started feeling uncomfortable in Latin America.

“I was so ready to leave,” Cassidy explained in a TikTok video last Tuesday (October 15). “I love South America, but I hate staying in one place for too long.”

It’s unclear whether the couple fought before Cassidy returned to Florida, but Liam posted a series of happy photos of them together minutes before his death on Snapchat.
