What does the angel number 444 mean? Experts explain as Liam Payne leaves note to Kate Cassidy before death

One Direction singer Liam Payne’s girlfriend revealed on Instagram that her late partner had wrote a note to her just weeks before his death, in which he said he wished to marry her. He also included the angel number 444.

She said: "A few weeks ago, we sat outside on a beautiful evening manifesting our lives together. I keep your note close, even though you told me not to look at it. It said: ‘me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged & together forever 444.'"

31-year-old Payne died last Wednesday (October 16) after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Cassidy who was in a relationship with the star for two years prior to his death, had reportedly left Aregentia two days before the tragedy. After she revealed the content of the note he left to her, people have now been questioning what the significance of 444 is.

One of the most popular angel numbers is 444. Here’s everything you need to know about it - including what you should do if you keep noticing this number in your life.

What are angel numbers?

Angel numbers are sequences of numbers that hold spiritual significance and are believed to be messages from your spiritual team, according to Spiritual Life Coach Patience Chigodora. She says that everyone has a spiritual team made up of angels, the universe, spirit guides, ancestors and deities of your choice.

What is the significance of angel number 444?

Number sequences are a nod from the universe and a sign there is more to this life than meets the eye, according to Marilyn Devonish, a certified therapist who has been reading tarot and angel tarot for more than 20 years. She told NationalWorld that the number 444 is said to be about connection and receiving guidance and support from the angelic realm and the universe. She adds: “It can be a sign you are on the right path, on the right track, or a way for your intuition to confirm or bring something to your conscious attention. It’s also said to be a good energy for creating, focus, and having a solid foundation.”

Intuitive Guide and Soul Coach Melissa Amos told NationalWorld that people should notice how the numbers 44 look like the letters AA, which links to the ArchAngels,  the highest ranking angels who many call upon in their hours of need. She explains that in a sequence of three number 4s the third 4 rates to a person themselves. “It’s like you are being recruited, recognised by the Angels as being one of them,” she says. “This brings you a great opportunity to know that the healing and strength that are offered by the angels are in your hands now”.

The number 4 also symbolises stability and balance,  intuitive energy healer Emily Patricia Fae told NationalWorld. She explains that if you find yourself feeling unstable or unbalanced, the appearance of the number 4 can be a sign that you are in need of support and guidance. So, when you see the angel number 444 repeatedly, it's an indication that your angels are working to support and guide you. She adds: “It's an opportunity for you to trust, listen, and connect with your angels and spirit guides, allowing their wisdom and guidance to flow into your life. They are there to assist you in reaching your goals and walking your chosen path.”
