While no one has disclosed the exact start of Kate’s romance with the “Strip That Down” singer, it seems likely it began around September 11, 2022, when a local news station in Charleston reported Liam’s presence in the area. In a TikTok posted in September 2024, Kate revealed that they met while she was working at a bar in the port city called Ritual. It was only her second week on the job, and they ended up going bowling and on a ghost tour the following day.
