The internet personality, 26, shared a sweet clip to Instagram on Tuesday that bean with her and Nala enjoying a day at the beach.
Captioned: ‘There wouldn’t be this… without you,’ it then switched to a video with Liam from when they first adopted Nala.
Kate wrote: ‘I remember the day we got Nala, we walked into the room at the animal shelter and Nala was the only dog not barking.
‘Liam pointed her out and we took her home now I need to learn how to get her to stop barking.’
Liam died aged 31 on October 16, 2024, after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and was found to have alcohol and cocaine in his system.

Kate has been documenting her grief journey on social media and she shared never-before-seen intimate texts with Liam.
Marking eight months since his death, she previously shared a gallery of pictures of herself and Liam and told how she lives in a ‘constant state’ of missing her ‘best friend’, admitting she can’t put her pain into words.
One photograph showed Liam wearing a T-shirt with her name written on it and pictures of her face printed across it as she stood beside him smiling.
The influencer also shared a screenshot of texts Liam had sent her on August 1 gushing over his love for her, just two months before his tragic death.
The messages read: ‘Shall we go -play tennis for an hour? I literally couldn’t love you more if I tried and somehow I will tomorrow. I can’t wait to see you.’ (sic)
In a caption, Kate candidly opened up about her grief as she emotionally said her life doesn’t ‘make sense’ without Liam in it.
She penned: ‘Eight months ago today, I lost my best friend and someone I thought I had so much more time and life left to share with.
‘Liam was the kind of person you’d start missing the moment you walked out the door. Even when leaving the house for a few hours, I’d find myself rushing home to be with him again out of excitement.’

She added: ‘Now facing the reality that I live in a constant state of missing you is something I still can’t fully wrap my head around.
‘Knowing I can’t just come home and see you, hear your voice, or feel your hug, it’s a type of pain I can’t fully put into words.
‘I can’t seem to tell if life is flying by without you or moving so slow none of it fully makes sense.
‘But I am trying to live my life as best I can for now and live it for you. I miss you more than words can say.
Ending on their angel number 444, she added: ‘One day, I’ll see you again, and I’ll have so much to tell you. So much to catch up on. I love you my angel❤️444.’

Angels have been symbolic for Kate since Liam’s passing, particularly the number 444, which she has since got tattooed on her hand.
Kate also has a beaded phone charm with the number ‘444’ and an ‘L’ laced through the thread in a tribute to Liam.
Angel numbers are repeating sequences of digits, normally in sets of three or four, and they are believed to hold spiritual guidance.
In numerology, 444 is a sign that the ‘angels are with you’ and are ‘there to guide you step by step’.
In the weeks after his death, she referenced the angel numbers as she shared that they had been planning to marry in the weeks leading up to his passing.
