Remember that viral moment from the Coldplay concert back in July? You know, the one where Kristin Cabot, wife of Privateer Rum CEO Andrew Cabot, was spotted on the kiss cam locking lips with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron? Well, it turns out there’s a bit more to the story than just a spontaneous concert smooch.
Separation Was Already in Motion
Andrew Cabot’s team has revealed that he and Kristin were already separated weeks before that now-infamous kiss cam incident. His spokesperson shared that the separation was private and amicable, aiming to bring respectful closure to the public speculation surrounding the event.
This news comes as Andrew officially filed for divorce last month. The filings, made in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on August 13th, confirm that the couple had already initiated legal proceedings before Kristin’s public display with Byron.
Reactions and the Viral Moment
The Coldplay kiss cam moment itself exploded across social media, naturally sparking tons of chatter about Kristin’s marital status. The clip, shared widely, left many wondering what was going on behind the scenes.
Adding another layer to the story, Andrew’s second ex-wife commented, suggesting that Andrew likely wasn’t deeply hurt by the kiss itself, but perhaps more embarrassed. She noted that he probably wasn’t emotionally affected by Kristin’s actions with Byron.
Moving Forward Privately
With divorce filings now public and both parties acknowledging their separation prior to the concert, Andrew is hoping to navigate this next chapter with the privacy his family values. Kristin, on the other hand, has remained silent on the matter, not issuing any direct public statements about the kiss or her divorce petition.
