Liam Payne’s Ex-Girlfriend Aliana Mawla Says She’ll ‘Forever Love & Miss’ Late Singer

Liam Payne's ex Aliana Mawla said she'll "forever love and miss" him following the singer's death. See what she wrote.

On Thursday (Oct. 17) — one day after the former One Direction star died after suffering a fatal fall from the third floor of his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina — the 26-year-old model shared a photo of Payne at a concert and wrote, “I’m sorry this happened to you,” according to People. His death has inspired an outpouring of heartfelt messages from fans, fellow musicians and loved ones over the past 48 hours, including both a joint statement and individual tributes from Payne’s former bandmates, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson. One Direction’s creator and former mentor Simon Cowell also wrote a testament to the singer Friday, as did Cheryl Cole, Payne’s ex-partner and the mother of his 7-year-old son, Bear.
