The Coldplay concert scandal that went viral earlier this summer continues to make headlines. Andrew Cabot, the husband of Kristin Cabot, is now speaking out after footage of his wife with her boss sparked controversy.
Coldplay Concert Scandal and Divorce Timeline
According to a spokeswoman, Andrew and Kristin Cabot were “privately and amicably separated several weeks before” the July Coldplay concert. Their divorce proceedings had already started before Kristin was filmed with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron.
“Their decision to divorce was already underway prior to that evening,” the spokeswoman explained. “Now that the divorce filing is public, Andrew hopes this provides respectful closure and allows his family the privacy they’ve always valued.”
Andrew Cabot, 61, is CEO of Privateer Rum. He has two children from a previous relationship, while he and Kristin did not have children together.
Viral Clip Sparks Coldplay Concert Scandal
The Coldplay concert scandal erupted after Kristin, then Astronomer’s chief people officer, appeared on camera with Byron. Their awkward reaction—Kristin turning away and Byron ducking—drew attention from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, who quipped that “either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
The clip quickly spread online, fueling memes and debates about privacy in the digital age. Many questioned whether such personal moments should be thrust into public scrutiny.
Career Fallout After the Concert
Following the Coldplay concert scandal, both Kristin and Byron left Astronomer. Byron, who had praised Kristin’s leadership months earlier, was replaced by interim CEO Pete DeJoy.
In a company statement, DeJoy acknowledged the unusual spotlight, noting the team’s resilience despite the intense attention.
Moving Forward
Kristin filed for divorce in August, while neither she nor Byron has publicly addressed their relationship. For Andrew Cabot, the focus now is on privacy and closure after months of speculation.
