Coldplay ‘Kiss Cam’ Wife Drops Allegation About Estranged Husband
The Coldplay ‘Kiss Cam’ director whose alleged affair with her CEO boss was broadcast to the world during the band’s concert has shared new details about the viral moment: RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Kristin Cabot spoke to Oprah Winfrey in her first on-camera interview since last summer’s controversy.
And during the interview, she claimed that four to six weeks before the concert, she and her estranged husband had “decided to separate and were living apart and were planning a divorce.”
Cabot also explained how her married colleague Andy Byron, then the CEO of the Astronomey company, told her that he and his wife were also living separately and were planning a divorce, which he said was “many years in the making.”
The pair were memorably spotted on camera embracing during the concert at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts.
After noticing they had been caught, Cabot quickly covered her face and Byron ducked out of sight.
Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin joked to the audience that the duo must be “really shy” or “having an affair.”
After the incident, Byron was the first to resign from the company, followed by Cabot, who also filed for divorce from her husband, Andrew Cabot, in August 2025.
But in another revelation, Cabot told the Oprah podcast that her estranged husband was also in attendance at the Coldplay concert, a fact she learned when her daughter texted as Cabot entered the event.
Cabot went on to explain how she reacted when she heard her husband was there too.
“And in my mind I was like, ‘Well, is this going to be weird if he sees me with Andy?'” she explained.
“Or you’ll run into him,” Winfrey added.
“Yes, if I run into him. But then I thought, I’m at Gillette Stadium. There are 55,000 people here. I’m probably not going to run into him,” she recalled.
“But he knows how closely Andy and I worked together. He knows we (socialized), got lunches and drinks. It was fine.”
“So he knew there was a relationship,” Winfrey said.
‘Yes. He knows the nature of my work,” Cabot claimed.
When the kiss cam panned to Cabot and Byron, Cabot said she experienced “a moment of total horror.”
“My first thought was, ‘Oh my God, my husband is in the building.’
‘He was there with someone else, and I knew that, and that was wonderful and nice. But he and I were in the middle of our divorce, incredibly amicable.”
“To this day, he has been one of my biggest supporters through it all. He is an incredible man,” she said. “And the last thing I wanted to do was embarrass him. And that was my first thought when I saw myself in that moment.”
Cabot said it was the first time she and Byron shared any physical affection. She also said she did not hear Martin’s comments suggesting she was having an affair. Instead, she was more focused on her estranged husband’s reaction.
“Andrew comes from an incredibly private family in the Boston area, and I just knew in my head that the public shaming was not something that would have gone over well,” she said.
