Taking to Instagram, Liam posed up a storm with his glamorous partner and teased he may even release some new music in the coming months.

American actress Kate slipped into a gold minidress as she quaffed on champagne, while Liam enjoyed a whisky. 

The hitmaker wrote: ‘Happy New Year … I hope 2023 brings you everything you ever wanted. Heck who knows maybe even some new music. Have a good one x’

Kate, meanwhile, uploaded a snap earlier in the day of herself holding hands with the singer during a walk on a beach before sharing a snap of the flowers and booze gifted to her by her beau. She wrote: ‘WTF Liam!’.

It comes after Liam fired back at a troll who claimed that the One Direction star’s girlfriend is just with him for the money. 

The singer and Kate made their red carpet debut as a couple at the British Fashion Awards last month. 

But it seems not everyone is convinced about the relationship, as one fan sent him a DM warning Liam that Kate was after his cash earlier this week. 

Liam responded by screenshotting the message and putting it on his Instagram Stories and gushing over his new romance.

He said: ‘Gotta say you could tell me anything and I couldn’t be turned, I’ve never felt a love like I do for Katelyn. We make each other better people.’ 

Defending her against the gold digger accusations, he said: ‘If it was just for the money I’d give her all of it.

‘It’s not though (please remember I’m hella sexy) and I know I’m fun and a loveable person.

‘And I don’t give a f*** to say that for the first time in my life I’m happy to be me and that’s priceless.’

Liam’s bold claim about his relationship with Kate comes after his high-profile previous relationships with Cheryl and Maya Henry.

Despite his insistence he’s never felt ‘a love like it’, Liam was engaged to Maya and shares a son, Bear, with ex-girlfriend Cheryl.
