Danielle Peazer Reflects on Liam Payne’s Passing
In an emotional Instagram post, Peazer opened up about Payne’s untimely death, saying it still “doesn’t feel real.” Payne, who she dated on and off during the early days of One Direction, passed away on Wednesday (Oct. 16) after suffering a fatal fall from the third floor of his hotel in Buenos Aires. Investigators are still awaiting toxicology reports, though it is believed that Payne may have been under the influence of substances at the time of his fall.
Despite their split in 2013, Peazer revealed that their connection remained strong. “Despite being aware of your struggles over the years, I hoped and prayed that this day would never come,” she wrote. “But now we’re all facing the reality of living a life without your presence.”
A Lasting Connection Between Peazer and Payne
Peazer shared that she and Payne were always honest with their feelings, even when it wasn’t easy. “He knew exactly how I felt about him because that was the one thing we were really good at — being brutally honest with our feelings for each other,” she said, recalling how they learned to accept each other’s quirks over the past 14 years.
The two first met in 2010 when Payne competed on The X Factor, and Peazer was a backup dancer on the show. They dated for two years, but Peazer noted that their story didn’t end there. She acknowledged their unique bond, saying, “I think deep down we always knew we’d have some sort of connection forever, no matter where our individual lives took us.”
