Kristin Cabot, the Coldplay kiss cam fallout, is back in the spotlight after the former Astronomer executive revealed she was warned before the concert that her estranged husband was also in attendance.
In her interview with Oprah Winfrey, Cabot said her daughter texted her while she was entering Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The message said both she and Andrew Cabot were at the same Coldplay show, which immediately made her worry about an awkward encounter.
Cabot said she was attending the concert with her then-boss, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron. She recalled thinking a chance meeting with her estranged husband would be unlikely because of the size of the venue, which held tens of thousands of people that night.

Kristin Cabot Says Fallout Changed Her Life
Cabot used the Oprah interview to challenge the narrative that had followed her for months. She said she had already been separated from her husband at the time and described her relationship with Byron as unusually close in a demanding work environment.
She also said the fallout led to severe online abuse, including threats and damage to her reputation. Business Insider and other outlets reported that Cabot said she has struggled to find work since resigning from Astronomer after the incident.
The new detail about her estranged husband being at the same concert adds another layer to a moment that had already become one of the most discussed viral stories of 2025. It also helps explain why Cabot said she felt anxious even before the jumbotron incident happened.
