The Coldplay kiss cam scandal has taken another turn, as Kristin Cabot’s husband finally spoke out.
The viral clip from July showed Astronomer CEO Andy Bryon and HR executive Cabot sharing an embrace at a Coldplay concert. Frontman Chris Martin joked, “Either they are having an affair or they’re just really shy.” The moment spread quickly online, leading both Cabot and Bryon to resign from their roles.
Cabot has since filed for divorce from her husband, Andrew Cabot. A spokesperson clarified, “Their decision to divorce was already underway prior to that evening. Andrew hopes this provides respectful closure.” Court documents show the next hearing will be held in late November.

Meanwhile, Coldplay have leaned into the scandal. Astronomer even featured Gwyneth Paltrow in a playful ad, and Martin later told fans, “Sometimes [the jumbotron] turns into an international scandal… but most of the time we’re just saying hello.”
What began as a lighthearted concert joke has now changed lives and marriages. Do you think viral moments can become too powerful in today’s world?
