Although the posts of the couple appeared online recently, one user pointed out a timing discrepancy, “These are from a few days ago even if he posted them today because she flew back to the United States a few days ago.”
In fact, Payne’s girlfriend had returned to Florida two days earlier. In a TikTok video, Cassidy recounted her travel experience and decision to leave Argentina.
