In one of the most unexpected plot twists of 2025, a Coldplay concert turned into a full-blown viral scandal — and no, it wasn’t because they played “Yellow” for the millionth time. It was because a high-profile CEO — allegedly an astronomer and tech industry exec — got caught on the kiss cam in what looked like a very cozy moment… with a woman who was not his wife.
The Moment That Lit the Internet on Fire
The incident happened during Coldplay’s latest world tour stop at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts. During a classic kiss cam segment on the stadium jumbotron, the camera panned to a sharply dressed man and a woman who were embracing each other like a loving couple. After a brief moment of surprise after they realized they were on the big screen, the man hids out of frame and she hides her face. — sparking wild cheers and laughs from the crowd. Martin joked “Oh, look at these two. Your’re all right. You’re OK. Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
Social media detectives were fast. Within hours, fans had identified the man as a well-known CEO of Astronomer Andy Byron. The women is his Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot.
