Kristin Cabot, the woman caught on camera in a romantic pose with a man who was not her husband at a Coldplay concert in July, has filed for divorce from her spouse.
The former Astronomer employee also left her position as Chief People Officer following the national attention given to the story. Now NBC News is reporting that Cabot filed a petition for divorce on August 13 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in a process that’s ongoing.
The documents say that a hearing is scheduled in the family division of New Hampshire’s 10th Circuit Court on November 26.
The internet has been obsessed with the alleged Astronomer affair scandal since it was made public following the July 16th Coldplay show.
A viral video shows Byron, who is also married, and Cabot embracing one another at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, when the kiss cam landed on them. The couple reacted immediately, with Byron letting go of Cabot and stepping out of frame. Cabot had a similar reaction as she immediately hid her face and turned away from the camera.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin called out their reaction. “Oh, look at these two,” the singer can be heard saying. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”
The popularity of the video spurred many fake reactions, including a faux statement attributed to Byron and images of a fake social media post attributed to Coldplay saying, “Starting with our next show, we’re introducing camera-free audience sections for people and their sidepieces.”
Byron has served as CEO of Astronomer since 2023, while Cabot had been with the company for less than one year.
Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, removed her last name from her Facebook account before deactivating it entirely just after the incident happened. Byron was on LinkedIn, but removed his profile in the wake of the scandal.
The Astronomer CEO resigned from his position, and the company attempted to do damage control by hiring Coldplay frontman’s ex-wife, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, as their “very temporary spokesperson.”
