In a shocking twist to a viral moment that captured the internet's attention, Andrew Cabot, the husband of a woman seen in a compromising embrace on Coldplay's 'kiss cam', has finally spoken out.

The moment went viral during Coldplay’s concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on July 16, when Kristin Cabot, the chief people officer at Astronomer, was filmed embracing her boss, Andy Byron, the then-CEO of the data company. As the camera zoomed in on the pair, Kristin immediately covered her face, leading to a flurry of speculation and laughter from the audience.

Andrew Cabot revealed through a spokesperson that he and Kristin were already "privately and amicably separated" weeks prior to the concert. The spokesperson stated, "Their decision to divorce was underway before that evening. Now that the divorce filing is public, Andrew hopes this brings respectful closure to the speculation and gives his family the privacy they value."

Adding fuel to the fire, Coldplay's lead singer, Chris Martin, couldn’t resist poking fun during the show, saying, "Oh, look at these two. You’re okay. What? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." This comedic remark only intensified the media frenzy surrounding the incident.

The clip of the moment exploded across social media platforms, generating millions of views and spawning a tidal wave of memes, and catching the attention of late-night talk show hosts.

In the aftermath, Astronomer issued a statement condemning the incident, emphasizing that their leaders are expected to uphold standards of conduct and accountability. The company, previously low-key, created headlines again by hiring Gwyneth Paltrow, Martin’s ex-wife, for a satirical ad.

Both Byron and Cabot have since resigned from Astronomer, and neither have commented publicly since the viral moment.
