Kristin Cabot, formerly an executive at Astronomer, has reportedly taken steps to end her marriage following a widely shared kiss cam moment with her boss at a Coldplay concert in July.
The Daily Mail reports that Cabot filed for divorce in a New Hampshire court on August 13, just weeks after footage of her and the also-married CEO Andy Byron went viral.
During the July 16 concert, the pair were seen on the big screen embracing each other. Realizing they were being broadcast to the crowd, Cabot and Byron quickly covered their faces in an awkward attempt to hide.
Coldplay’s lead singer, Chris Martin, made light of the situation, joking: “Woah, look at these two. They’re either having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
The clip quickly circulated online, and the identities of the two were soon revealed. Following the viral attention, Byron resigned from his CEO position on July 19, and Cabot later stepped down from her role in human resources.
Julia Byron, who was previously married to Cabot’s current husband, Andrew Cabot, told the Daily Mail that she began receiving messages once the incident became public.
“I texted Andrew right after it happened, and he said: ‘Her life is nothing to do with me,’ and said they were separating,” Julia explained.
She added: “He’s saying it has nothing to do with him, even though they were married and shared a house. But then, the only thing he cares about is money … He’s not a nice person. Now something not nice [has] happened to him.”
Julia remarked that many people viewed the situation as a matter of “karma.”
“It was like: what you give, you get. Personally I don’t think he’s affected by what happened at all. I don’t think his feelings are hurt. He’s probably embarrassed, if anything,” she noted.
She also revealed that this marks Andrew Cabot’s third divorce.
“I wouldn’t say he’s husband material, but she doesn’t seem like wife material either,” Julia concluded.
