“Think I’m going to play polo again, which is going to put me out of action for about six weeks.

“It’s so hard to do, number one, my back and my neck from swinging that hammer around… or mallet, I think it’s called if you’re in the know.

“It hurts a lot, it’s very tough to do.”

Liam also gave his followers a tour of the room he was staying in with Kate, joking: “Haha, loser, weirdo,” referring to the fact that she was leaving Argentina.

The musician went on to highlight Nala, a dog the couple recently fostered, who they also nicknamed Noonie, Chooch, Narls, and Choochie.

“Obviously, we’re going to go home and see our dog,” he said.

Kate could be heard saying in the background: “We literally sleep in every day until like 12. We’re such losers.”

He explained: “On occasion, I do paint and I like doing art.” However, Liam also admitted he’d not found more art he was “in love with” except for a picture hanging on the wall.

“They’ve got the most amazing art in this house,” the singer explained.

Liam and Kate were first linked in October 2022. Prior to his romance with Kate, the X Factor alumnus dated Cheryl Cole, with whom he welcomed son Bear in 2017, from 2016 to 2018.

Couldn’t believe the news when I first heard it. He was a big part of my childhood. Still got them old 1D posters in a closet, including a magazine cut out of Liam a friend gave me cause I had a crush on him. My siblings and I got our parents (who don’t really listen to modern music) hooked up on them by religiously listening to 1D day in and day out and even dragging them to watch their movie. My dad actually called me when he heard the news today cause he wasn’t sure if it was a fake story. I didn’t keep up with the band much after they disbanded apart from listening to their new songs, but nevertheless this feels like losing an old friend. Saddest part is that he’s so young and leaves behind a young son. Much condolences to his family and friends and hope they find the much needed strength and courage during this difficult time.
