Liam Payne responded to a troll's assertion that the One Direction member's girlfriend is only with him for the money. 

The musician, 29, and his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, 23, made their red carpet debut as a couple earlier this month at the British Fashion Awards. Despite this, Liam has stated that he has "never felt a love like this before." 

However, it appears that not everyone is on board with the relationship, as one admirer sent him a direct message alerting him that Kate is seeking his money. Liam replied by taking a screenshot of the message and posting it to his Instagram Stories, raving about his new relationship. 

He said that people could tell him anything and he wouldn't be swayed because he has never felt a love like "I do for Katelyn."  He added that they improve each other as individuals. 

Defending her against the charges of being a gold digger, he stated that even If it were only for the money, he would give her everything.

However, he is sure that it is not. He even joked that he's really attractive, pleasant, and lovable, so he is not likely to be loved for his money.  

He said he is not even embarassed to state that for the first time in his life, he is glad to be himself, which is priceless.

Following his high-profile relationships with Cheryl and Maya Henry, Liam makes an audacious assertion about his relationship with Kate. 

Liam was engaged to Maya and has a kid, Bear, with ex-girlfriend Cheryl, despite his claim that he has never experienced "a love like it." 

It comes after Liam's relationship with the American beauty appeared to be flourishing after they were spotted sharing a Christmas kiss at a party. 

On Friday evening, the ex-One Direction star and his girlfriend were captured dancing and kissing at a Christmas celebration. 

Liam cut an elegant yet casual figure while wearing a plain white T-shirt. Kate, a blonde beauty, had her hair in large, bouncy curls and looked effortlessly glamorous in her black bodysuit with a high neck and satin bottom half. 

She wore a full face of makeup to the event, while Liam had his brown hair brushed back with product. 

Singer Liam stares intently into the camera that is documenting the intimate moment, as if he disapproves of the prying eyes. 

Then, he humorously gives the friend filming them the middle finger before cuddling his partner. 

Kate offers him a sweet peck on the cheek after he nuzzled her neck with his face. 

Kate shared the moment with her 19,500 followers again, however Liam chose not to.
