Liam Payne's ex 'in shock' as she breaks silence following One Direction star's sudden death
Ex-fiancee of Liam Payne, Maya Henry, has broken her silence in the aftermath of the singer's shock sudden death. The 31 year old former One Direction star reportedly fell from a third floor of a hotel in the Argentinian capital of Buenos Aires, according to TMZ. A rep for Maya told DailyMail.com that 'right now she is obviously in shock' with the heartbreaking news coming just two days after the 23 year old Texan model reportedly instructed lawyers to issue a cease and desist letter to Liam, accusing him of repeatedly contacting her.
Liam and Maya dated on and off from 2019. They were first linked in late 2018, following the singer's split from Cheryl. The pair were spotted on a number of dates around London. And it is thought they briefly split before reconciling and making things official in August 2019. Maya then went Instagram official with her beau a month later as she posted a photo of the pair smiling and cuddling on a sofa. She then captioned the photo with: "All smiles over here".
On the same day, Liam publicly thanked Maya for bringing his happiness back as he released his new song at the time Stack It Up.

He credited Maya for "for always keeping the biggest smile on my face through all the stress and making me realise how perfect my life really is".
Liam gushed about Maya once again in December 2019 and said he was "really happy".
Many witnesses have told the the DailyMail.com that Liam had been staying at the CasaSur Palmero Hotel with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy and had fallen from his room shortly after 5pm on Wednesday, 16 October. Emergency services including police, firefighters and ambulances were spotted outside the hotel following the tragic incident.
It's been reported that police were called to the scene due to reports of a man behaving aggressively at the hotel. A body was discovered in an internal patio of the hotel, leading to the call to the police by the hotel manager. It's believed that Liam fell from a height of around 13 or 14 metres, resulting in "very serious injuries incompatible with life," reports the Mirror.
In a heartbreaking statement, the local ambulance manager shared with TN: "At 17.04 through the 911 integrated public safety system, we were alerted of a person who was in an internal courtyard of the management of a south house hotel. At 17.11 a SAME team arrived and verified the death of this man and later we found out that he was a singer in a musical group. Unfortunately, he had injuries that were incompatible with life, as a result of his fall, so we had to confirm his death, there was no possibility of resuscitation."
Fans are mourning the loss of a beloved musician who had been delighting followers on TikTok and Snapchat with snaps of his adventures with girlfriend Kate Cassidy. The musician, who turned 31 this year, had been jet-setting around the world and dropping hints of new music.
Investigations into the 31-year-old's death are ongoing.
