New videos reveal the exact moment Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught embracing Kristin Cabot, his chief human resources officer, during a Coldplay concert. The scene, captured on a “kiss cam,” was met with loud reactions from the crowd as the couple hurriedly tried to hide their faces.

The footage, taken from a different section of the arena, has gone viral with over 50 million views.

During the incident, lead singer Chris Martin joked, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” to audience laughter. He later added, “I hope we didn’t do something wrong,” as the couple disappeared from view. The jumbotron then shifted to another pair of fans dressed as bananas.

Neither Byron nor Cabot has spoken publicly about the scandal. It was later revealed that Byron is reportedly married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, while Cabot recently divorced her husband, Kenneth Thornby.

Initial footage was posted by bystander Grace Springer, who said she shared the clip because she found the moment interesting, not expecting the intense online reactions that followed. Springer expressed mixed feelings, noting she felt sympathy for the individuals involved but also acknowledged the repercussions of seemingly insignificant actions.

As the story unfolds, many hope that both partners involved can move past the incident and find happiness again in the future.
