More details about Liam and Maya's relationship
Liam Payne, 31, and Maya Henry, 23, began dating in 2019. They got engaged the following year, breaking up in 2021. While they rekindled their relationship numerous times, the two definitively broke up in May 2022, with Henry reportedly issuing a cease and desist order against Payne.
The Daily Mail claims that Payne was reaching out to her, her family, and friends. “Maya Henry issued a cease and desist last week to Liam Payne following the emergence of new and concerning information,” said Henry's lawyers to the publication. “She has retained attorneys Marco Crawford and Daniel Cerna to represent her. At this time, that is her only comment on the matter.”
At the time of his death, Payne was dating Kate Cassidy. The two began their relationship in October of 2022.
