But as Cassidy candidly admitted, “I f–ked up.”

The TikToker found herself getting angry with Joe, wondering why some of his actions were different from what Payne would have done.

“He texted me yesterday and told me that we should go our separate ways because it’s just too much. And I understand,” she said. “I feel sad because I don’t like losing people, and I feel like, especially in the beginning of a situationship, it’s so fun. And you’re so excited to see where it goes.”

Cassidy’s breakup comes three months after she soft-launched her first romance following Payne’s tragic death in October 2024 at the age of 31. However, she did not confirm if Joe was the same man that she posted about in March.

Since Payne’s passing, Cassidy has not shied away from discussing the more difficult parts of her grief, including in a Valentine’s Day video where she explained how hard it was to get through the day without crying.

“You don’t move on from grief,” she wrote in a Feb. 14 TikTok post. “You move forward with it, carrying love in a different form. Keep living. Keep going. Live your life as fully as you possibly can.”
