Nationwide — Kristin Cabot, once the head of human resources at Astronomer, has reportedly filed for divorce from her husband Andrew Cabot. The filing took place in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on August 13, according to the Daily Mail. This legal move comes just weeks after Kristin was caught on the Kiss Cam at a Coldplay concert in Boston, Massachusetts, with Astronomer’s then-CEO, Andy Byron, sparking viral speculation about an alleged affair.
The incident at the July 16 concert drew national attention after cameras landed on Kristin and Andy during a lighthearted fan moment. Instead of smiling for the crowd, the pair dove out of sight in a way that immediately raised eyebrows. Even Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin joked to the audience, suggesting they were “either having an affair, or just very shy.” The awkward scene quickly spread online, placing both Kristin and Andy under a public microscope.
In the aftermath, the situation appeared to have professional consequences. Andy Byron resigned as Astronomer’s chief executive officer not long after the viral moment, and Kristin Cabot also left the company. Neither has publicly addressed the controversy, but their swift departures only fueled the public’s fascination and speculation about the nature of their relationship.
Meanwhile, Andrew Cabot’s ex-wife Julia told reporters she reached out to him after the Kiss Cam clip went viral. According to her, Andrew brushed off the situation, saying Kristin’s actions had “nothing to do with” him and confirming their separation. Julia also remarked that Andrew was likely more embarrassed than hurt, describing him as someone primarily motivated by money rather than feelings.
While the personal details continue to ripple through the press, Kristin’s decision to legally end her marriage underscores the fallout from the public spectacle. For weeks, the scandal has lingered in the headlines, drawing commentary from fans and media outlets alike. Despite the heavy scrutiny, those at the center of the drama have chosen silence, leaving the story largely to public interpretation.
Ultimately, what began as a brief, awkward clip at a concert has unraveled into a much larger scandal involving career setbacks, public humiliation, and now divorce proceedings. Whether Kristin or Andy will ever speak openly about the events remains to be seen, but for now, the viral Coldplay moment continues to mark a turning point in both of their personal and professional lives.
