The Coldplay Concert Kiss Cam Scandal: The Fallout and Divorce Filing of Kristin Cabot and Andy Byron
The recent Coldplay concert "kiss cam" incident involving Kristin Cabot, the head of human resources at Astronomer, and Andy Byron, the company's CEO, has led to Cabot filing for divorce. The viral moment captured on the jumbotron at Gillette Stadium showed Cabot and Byron hugging, prompting speculation from Coldplay's Chris Martin and cheers from the crowd. A TikTok video of the incident has garnered millions of views.
Cabot, 52, filed for divorce from her husband, Andrew Cabot, in August, marking her second divorce and his third. The Cabots are a prominent and wealthy family in Boston, with a net worth of $15.4 billion. Both Cabot and Byron resigned from Astronomer following the incident, with the company responding by hiring Gwyneth Paltrow for a satirical advertisement.
Despite the public attention, neither Byron nor Cabot have addressed the nature of their relationship. Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, removed his last name from her Facebook account and deactivated the page. Kerrigan Byron, a teacher at Bancroft School in Massachusetts, has two children with her husband.
