Naomi Campbell has spoken out following the tragic death of Liam Payne, with whom she was rumored to have had a brief relationship. The supermodel, 54, expressed her condolences to Liam’s friends and family after the One Direction star passed away suddenly at the age of 31 on October 16.
Naomi shared her feelings in the comments section of a tribute post by Nicole Scherzinger, who highlighted her memories of Liam and the impact he had during his time in the spotlight. In her comment, Naomi used dove emojis, a broken heart, and prayer hands to convey her sadness.
The rumors of a romance between Naomi and Liam surfaced in 2019 when they were seen celebrating New Year’s together in Ghana. At that time, sources suggested they had a fun relationship but ultimately parted ways amicably. Liam had previously praised Naomi in interviews, calling her “perfection in a person” and “a beautiful soul.”
As tributes continue to pour in for Liam, investigations into his sudden death in Buenos Aires are ongoing, with authorities searching for potential foul play. Liam’s father has traveled to Argentina to work with police on retrieving his son’s remains and furthering the investigation.
