The woman who went viral earlier this year for being in the arms of her boss at a Coldplay concert during their famed 'kiss cam' segment, has spoken out for the first time.

Now known as the 'Coldplay couple', Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot went uber-viral online after they were spotted at Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres concert in July.

The pair were seen embracing on the jumbo screen at the Gilette Stadium near Boston, before their expressions turned to horror and they ducked and hid from the camera.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin even joked: "Oh, look at these two. Either they are having an affair or they’re just really shy."

He even quipped: "“Holy s**t! I hope we didn’t do something bad.”

The moment has gone down in internet folklore, as more details emerged around the situation.

Byron was the CEO of Astronomer, a New York-based tech company, while Cabot was part of the HR team at the organisation - it was said that the former was married at the time.

It has since been confirmed that Cabot was in the middle of a separation from her husband, Andrew Cabot, with a spokesperson stating that they 'were privately and amicably separated several weeks before the Coldplay concert'.

Andrew though, was revealed to be at the concert himself in a new interview with Kristin Cabot, who spoke to The New York Times about the incident and the fallout afterwards.

Cabot opened up about receiving about '50 or 60' death threats since the video was posted, which took a hit on her mental health.

Speaking about how it has affected her life, Cabot said that her children are reluctant to be seen with her in public.

Reflecting on the start of their connection, Cabot says she first opened up to Byron about her marriage in spring this year, as she was going through a separation and worried for her kids.

Apparently, he was going through the same thing and the pair grew closer over the next few months, with Cabot recalling developing 'big feelings' quickly.

“I didn’t really get too carried away because he’s my boss,” Cabot claimed.


The separation from her husband was fresh when she agreed to see Coldplay with some friends, sharing that she 'hadn't been out in ages', before asking Byron to be her plus one.

Speaking of it from an HR perspective, she admitted: “Some inside part of my brain might have been jumping up and down and waving its arms, saying, ‘Don’t do this’.”

Apparently, she found out that her ex-husband would also be attending on the way to the stadium itself, though while it 'threw her', Cabot highlighted that her and Byron 'were not an item'.

The mum claims that she was not in a sexual relationship with her boss, only kissing for the first time that night, saying: “I made a bad decision and had a couple of High Noons and danced and acted inappropriately with my boss. And it’s not nothing. And I took accountability and I gave up my career for that. That’s the price I chose to pay.

“I want my kids to know that you can make mistakes, and you can really screw up. But you don’t have to be threatened to be killed for them.”

Opening up about the moment she was spotted on the big screen, Cabot said it was like 'someone flipped a switch', as happiness turned to terror and Cabot covered her face while Byron got out of the camera's shot.

Thinking that Andrew may have seen her and that she was seen with her boss, Cabot said: "I was so embarrassed and so horrified, I’m the head of HR and he’s the CEO. It’s, like, so cliché and so bad."

They agreed to tell the board and Cabot went to tell her kids, with her admission that the footage was already going viral driving her daughter to tears.

Later in the summer, her divorce from Andrew was filed and while Cabot remained in touch with Byron following the incident, they agreed to stop speaking as much in early September.

She told the publication that 'speaking with each other was going to make it too hard for everyone to move on and heal', saying that their contact has been minimal since then.
