The viral Coldplay concert kiss cam has raised many questions about Kristin Cabot’s personal life. Kristin Cabot was caught on camera with Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, during the July 16 show in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The clip spread online quickly, creating speculation about her marriage.

Now, Kristin Cabot’s estranged husband, Andrew Cabot, is speaking out. Andrew is the CEO of Privateer Rum and had been married to Kristin before she filed for divorce in August. His statement helps explain the situation and gives context to what happened before the concert.

Andrew says that he and Kristin Cabot were already separated before the incident. He has confirmed that the divorce process had begun weeks earlier. His words suggest the viral moment was not the cause of their split but rather a public scene during a private transition.


Andrew Cabot’s statement about Kristin Cabot

Andrew released his statement through his team in response to the kiss cam video. He said he and Kristin Cabot were “privately and amicably separated several weeks before the Coldplay concert.” He added that the decision to divorce had already been made.

Kristin Cabot filed for divorce on August 13, less than a month after the concert. Andrew said this timeline shows that their separation was not sudden and not triggered by the viral video. Instead, the concert clip came at a time when the couple was already moving forward with their separation.

Andrew also asked for privacy. His team said he hopes the divorce filing will bring closure and end speculation about the matter. He made clear that his family values privacy, and he wants to keep the focus away from gossip.

Andrew's rep told People:

"Their decision to divorce was already underway prior to that evening. Now that the divorce filing is public, Andrew hopes this provides respectful closure to speculation and allows his family the privacy they’ve always valued."

The viral Coldplay moment

The kiss cam moment happened on July 16 at Gillette Stadium. Kristin Cabot and Andy Byron were shown on the big screen. Both reacted by quickly moving out of the camera’s view. Their reaction led the crowd and online viewers to suspect they were hiding something.

Even Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, noticed what happened. On stage, he joked that the couple was either having an affair or just being shy. This light comment added fuel to the online conversation.

Reports later revealed that Andy Byron was also married at the time of the concert. Kristin worked as the chief people officer at Astronomer, where Andy was CEO. After the video spread, both Kristin and Andy left the company.
