Liam Payne proudly showed off the multi-million dollar rental pad in South Florida that he had moved into with girlfriend Kate Cassidy this year in a satirical Snapchat video, DailyMail.com can reveal.

The tragic former One Direction star posted it just a month before plunging to his death from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony on Wednesday – looking happy and relaxed with his new $9,500-a-month Spanish-style mansion.

The rented $1.73million home sits in an exclusive gated community in Wellington, a well-heeled Florida enclave known as ‘Horse Town USA’ for its abundance of equestrian sports. 

Wearing shades in front of the expansive brilliant white frontage, the singer mocks the format of TV’s Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous by waving his arm expansively and declaring: ‘Who lives in a house like this? Let’s go and find out.’

Walking inside Payne, 31, declares: ‘Welcome to LJP Cribs.’ He continues in a mocking commentary: ‘Built during the first revolution, original stone… since then they knocked a few walls through and the ceiling was vaulted twice.’

With a gold chain and oversize safety pin around his neck above his gray vest and filming himself on his phone, he walks past two wicker baskets and claims: ‘This is where I keep my pet snakes Sid and Alan.’

Liam Payne and his girlfriend had moved into a $1.73million Spanish-style mansion in Wellington, Florida just last month

The former One Direction star appeared happy and relaxed in a video tour of the Wellington, Florida mansion he shared with girlfriend Kate Cassidy that he posted on Snapchat only weeks before plunging to his death from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony on Wednesday

As his phone focuses on a recessed arch in a wall beneath and white and black iron balustraded staircase, he jokes: ‘This did contain one of the most important paintings in the world inside it, but it was stolen.’

Moving through the white-walled interior, which appears sparsely furnished, Payne moves into another part of the home and asks: ‘Why is a drawing room called a drawing room?’ The question goes unanswered.

Opening a tiny closet containing household items, he gives a little laugh and says: ‘This is where we hide people.’

Moving upstairs, he strides the hallway saying: ‘I’m a busy man, I’m a very, very busy man so I need space to think.’

Showing off one of the bedrooms expansive walk in closets filled with racks of 25-year-old influencer Cassidy’s shoes, he declares: ‘This is where we hide a few more people.’

Moving to the upstairs hallway again, he says: ‘I will now go down the dizzy staircase and continue on with my day. Thanks for watching LJP Cribs.’

The singer gave fans and followers a tongue-in-cheek tour of the sprawling 4,683 sq ft property in a Snapchat video mocking the format of TV’s Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

The rented property boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms and a swish outdoor courtyard with a saltwater pool and waterfalls. A nearby clubhouse offers resort-style amenities including a gym, spa and tennis courts

Payne’s jocular manner on the video was in stark contrast to his tragic end when he fell to his death in the Argentine capital. His room was found littered with white powder and drug equipment.

The home which he moved into in September boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms and a swish outdoor courtyard with a saltwater pool and waterfalls. A nearby clubhouse offers resort-style amenities including a gym, spa and tennis courts.

The magnificent home sits amid towering palm trees in a gated community. A balcony rests above an entrance archway, which is beside a rounded turret that appears at least three levels high. 

Cassidy had been staying with Payne in Argentina. But she left for the Florida mansion two days before the singer plunged from the third floor of the luxury Casa sur Palermo hotel after reportedly smashing it up in a drink and drug meltdown.

New Jersey native Cassidy posted a series of gushing videos on TikTok featuring the home from September onwards.

The couple had often shared snaps and videos at their shared rental home in the exclusive gated community in Wellington, a well-heeled Florida enclave known as ‘Horse Town USA’ for its equestrian sports

Liam’s girlfriend, New Jersey native Kate Cassidy had also posted a series of gushing videos on TikTok featuring the home from September onwards

In a strapless gray top and sweatpants for one of the first, the influencer stands outside in front a palm tree, throws her arm in the direction of the home and says: ‘I’m always doing little hotel tours – and we just moved so I figured I’d do a mini house tour.’

Moving in the living room, with mustard colored sofa and low dark wood tables decorated with ornaments and candles she says ‘honestly this is kinda fun… welcome to the house’. 

Clearly still moving in with boxes around, Cassidy throws her arms aloft again and declares, ‘we have this fun staircase, which is super fun,’ before running up and down it.

She shows off a dining room with a conservative looking dark table and chairs before moving to ‘living room number 2… which a little darker and a more nighttime vibe… if you want sun and your cup of coffee in the morning living room number one is your place to be.’

Heading to the kitchen, resplendent with white cabinets and black granite countertops, she points out the lunch ingredients before heading to the tree bordered and mosaic-tiled pool, saying: ‘What’s Florida without a pool. It’s way too hot every day.’

The 25-year-old showed off the massive rental property room by room 

Then it’s on to the lunch outside dining area ‘which is super fun because I actually love barbecuing, I’m not going to lie. I love burgers, hate hotdogs.’

Back inside, it’s up the carpeted staircase to show off the walk-in closet showing some clothes already racked ‘but not fully moved in yet – we are working on it’.

Showing herself filming in the full length mirrors with one arm in the air, finished saying: ‘This is it.’ She ends with a flourishing wave and a kiss to camera.

Cassidy had originally planned to stay in South America longer but said on social media before the tragedy that she was ‘so ready to leave’. 

She added in a video documenting her flight back to the United States: ‘I was just like, I need to go home.’

Of her journey back, Cassidy says on video: ‘I loved South America but I hate staying in one place for too long. We were supposed to be there for five days, turned into two weeks and I was just, like, I need to go home.’

She then proudly shows off her first class ticket with American Airlines revealing she’s in seat 1D before saying she has ‘such anxiety before flying’ that gives her ‘a weird rash’. 

There were ‘no food options’ at the first class lounge in the airport, she complains. But the footage continues with her eating steak on the plane.

Amid a shot of her cases on the paved driveway of her new home, she says: ‘I landed at 6am…I was so happy to be home, it’s just so relieving.’ With footage of her eating it, she adds: ‘First thing I did, ordered a bagel, obviously with cream cheese.’

Back in the Florida house two days ago, Cassidy films from the mansion’s kitchen and posted on TikTok about comments over how old she looks.

In a gray cap, short white top, bare midriff and gray sweatpants, she says: ‘All right, I’m kind of getting over the age allegations. People saying I look 30, 35 I’ve gotten, I’ve even gotten 40. I don’t know, I don’t think I look over 30. I think maybe I look 27, I’m 25.’

Clearly hurt, she says someone came up to her at an event and asked:’ What are your kids doing to Halloween this year?’ 

Putting her hands on her hips, she continues: ‘I mean I’m flattered, I look this good after having kids, not one kid but multiple kids.

‘I don’t know. Like young moms are a thing. I’m like, am I “giving” mom?’ She then coquettishly turns, gives a little back kick with one leg and adds: ‘Maybe like milf…I don’t know, it’s just like, do I really look that old. I don’t understand. 

‘How do I make myself look younger. Mom, mommy? I’ll take that as a compliment I guess.’

On the same day she filmed from her car eating a salad she’d bought from a nearby Publix supermarket ‘because I can’t wait 10 minutes to get home’.

Payne’s previous properties have included a $10.2million mansion in Calabasas, California, which he sold in 2021.
