Coldplay Kiss Cam Fallout: Kristin Cabot Files for Divorce After Viral Concert Moment with Married Boss

Kristin Cabot, the former HR executive at technology firm Astronomer, has asked for a divorce from her husband Andrew Cabot following a Coldplay concert kiss that became viral. The July concert at Gillette Stadium found Cabot and then-boss CEO Andy Byron in an intimate hug on the arena's kiss cam. Ducking and covering in response, they only fueled the gossip, especially when Coldplay's Chris Martin himself jokingly inquired if they were having an affair.

The video quickly spread like wildfire on social media, and online sleuths identified the couple. Within days, both Cabot and Byron had resigned from Astronomer. On August 13, Kristin Cabot officially petitioned for a divorce in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Insiders at the Cabot family said the marriage was already strained prior to the concert. Andrew Cabot, Privateer Rum CEO and member of Boston's top rung "Brahmin" class, was reportedly not bothered by the scandal, with his ex-wife Julia Cabot stating, "He only cares about money." This is Andrew's third divorce.

Meanwhile, Byron's wife Megan Kerrigan has removed his last name from her social media accounts and relocated to their summer estate, but no divorce filing has been made official.

The episode not only caused personal lives to be disrupted, but it also shook up the technology and beverage industries. It is a testament to how a fleeting public moment can destroy careers and relationships in today's Internet age.
