Maya Henry, the ex-fiancée of Liam Payne, has broken her silence following the tragic passing of the One Direction star. Liam Payne, 31, tragically died on October 16, 2024, after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina. Maya, who had been engaged to Liam in 2020 before their split in May 2022, took to social media to share her gratitude amidst the heartbreaking loss.
In a heartfelt Thanksgiving post, Maya shared a photo of a festive meal and expressed her thankfulness. “Happy Thanksgiving. Grateful for family, friends, and God,” she wrote, marking the occasion with a message of appreciation.
Maya had remained silent since Liam’s death, but her recent post has prompted fans to reflect on their relationship. Liam’s passing, under mysterious circumstances, shocked the world. He had been in Argentina with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, when he tragically fell from the third-floor hotel balcony. Authorities confirmed that Liam died from multiple traumas and internal injuries. A toxicology report revealed that antidepressants and cocaine were found in his system, though Liam had reportedly been sober just days before. Allegedly, drugs were smuggled to his hotel room in a Dove soap box, which was under investigation.
Before Liam’s untimely death, Maya had made headlines after accusing him of relentless behavior during their relationship, even sending him a cease and desist letter for contacting her via multiple iCloud accounts. Her claims added fuel to the controversy surrounding their breakup, and in the aftermath of his passing, Maya has faced online trolling from some of Liam’s fans.
Despite the difficult period, Maya is grateful for the support she’s received from loved ones. Meanwhile, thousands of Liam’s fans are campaigning for a memorial in his hometown of Wolverhampton, where a petition has gained traction calling for a statue or mural to honor the late singer’s legacy. With over 6,000 signatures, fans worldwide are pushing for a tribute to commemorate Liam’s musical journey and the impact he had on millions.
