Ex-Astronomer HR Exec Kristin Cabot’s Husband Says They Were Separated Before Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal
Separated Before Coldplay Concert Scandal, Kristin Cabot’s Husband Comments
Andrew Cabot, ex-husband of Kristin Cabot, asserts that they had already been officially separated prior to the incident where Kristin was seen canoodling with former CEO Andy Byron during a Coldplay concert in July.
Andrew, CEO of Privateer Rum, revealed in a statement that he and Kristin had been “privately and amicably separated” weeks before the viral incident, which occurred when Kristin and Byron had an awkward reaction on the Jumbotron after sharing a romantic embrace. This event sparked widespread attention and made headlines worldwide.
A spokesperson for Andrew confirmed this, noting that the separation was in place even before the incident. Andrew hopes this clarification will bring respect and privacy to their family during this time.
Property records show Kristin has shared a Rye, NH, address with Andrew since at least 2023, and social media posts from May 2024 depict her wearing a large wedding ring, displaying signs of her ongoing marriage.
Meanwhile, court documents indicate Kristin filed for divorce in Portsmouth, NH, on August 13. Her ex-husband Julia Cabot, also confirmed that Andrew and Kristin’s separation predates the scandal, stating she communicated that their relationship was over during the incident.
Andrew’s second ex-wife, Julia, described him as not being “a nice person,” suggesting that the fallout from the scandal has been complex for all involved. Following the public spectacle, both Kristin and Byron resigned from their positions at Astronomer, where the incident took place.
The viral moment showed Byron’s distressed reaction, immediately ducking out of view, while Kristin appeared mortified, turning her face away from the camera. The incident prompted jokes from Coldplay’s frontman and revealed details about Byron’s marriage; he was reportedly married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, with Kristin also married at the time.
Megan Kerrigan Byron reportedly fled to their Maine estate amid ongoing marital issues stemming from the scandal. Overall, the event has stirred significant public and private controversy surrounding all involved parties.
