Liam Payne‘s ex-girlfriend Danielle Peazer has shared a heartfelt and lengthy tribute to the late singer after his tragic death last week.

Danielle, 36, shared a post on Instagram on Sunday, Oct. 20, where she spoke about their time together as a couple, and shared a sweet message that Liam sent her about her family.

“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,” she wrote, referring to her partner, Sonny Jay, and their daughter, Mia.

Liam died at age 31 after falling several stories from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires on Oct. 16. Danielle and Liam met when he competed on The X Factor and she was a backup dancer on the show in 2010, and they went on to date for over two years.

“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,” she continued. “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.”

“Our relationship may have ended back in 2013, but that seemed to be just the start of our story,” she continued. “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,” she continued. “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.”

Danielle also thanked Liam for “teaching me about the importance of setting boundaries, and that I should always protect my heart.”

“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,” she finished the heartfelt letter, signing it: “Rest easy my friend.”

Liam Payne’s ex-girlfriend Danielle Peazer has opened up about the singer’s death saying that it doesn’t “feel real” and shared his final message to her, sent weeks before his death. The 31-year-old was holidaying in Buenos Aires, Argentina, when he fell from the third floor balcony of his hotel.

Previously his ex Daniella said on her Instagram stories that she needed time to grieve privately and urged her fans to take care of themselves. She also promised to “share more” about her feelings when she feels “mentally strong enough to face the reality of what’s happened.”

The couple were together for two years between 2010 and 2012. On Sunday, October 20 she finally broke her silence and posted a throwback photo of the two enjoying ice cream as they posed for a selfie. She also wrote a lengthy tribute to the star, the Mirror reports.

She said: “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 continued: “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.”

Concluding the heartbreaking post, 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.”

She reconciled with Liam in 2022, nine years after their split, with the pair leaving the Nobu Hotel in Shoreditch together. They were also spotted together at celeb hotspots Chiltern Firehouse and Annabel’s. But the rekindling didn’t last and Danielle moved on with former Capital FM DJ Sonny Jay, who won Dancing On Ice in 2021. In May this year, Sonny and Danielle announced the birth of their daughter.
