The spouse of a woman caught on camera sharing a moment with her boss at a Coldplay concert has clarified that they were already separated before the event. Andrew Cabot, aged 61, and his wife Kristin have recently confirmed their divorce following the incident where Kristin was captured by the kiss cam with her supervisor during a band performance. This led to a public scandal, prompting Andy to step down as the CEO of tech company Astronomer, and Kirstin resigned from her position as the Head of HR.
Andrew, an entrepreneur from Massachusetts, stated that he and Kirstin had already begun the divorce process before the Coldplay concert. A spokesperson on his behalf emphasized that the decision to end their marriage was in progress prior to the public exposure of the incident, aiming to put an end to speculations and safeguard their family’s privacy.
The moment involving Kirstin on the kiss cam garnered widespread attention, with even Chris Martin joking about the situation. Following the awkward episode, both employees were placed on leave, and Andy eventually resigned due to not meeting company standards.
Despite the divorce confirmation, Andrew’s spokesperson mentioned that there would be no further public statements. This marks the first time Andrew has addressed the issue publicly, albeit through a representative, shedding light on their relationship amid the controversy.
Andrew, who runs a distillery in Ipswich, Massachusetts, clarified that he and Kirstin do not share children together but have two kids from his previous marriage. The family values their privacy, which was somewhat compromised during the scandal.
The incident at the concert where the kiss cam focused on Kirstin and her boss resulted in an awkward reaction from both parties. The subsequent online attention led to memes and public scrutiny, raising debates on privacy in the digital era and the boundaries of public behavior.
The controversy also sparked discussions on privacy in the digital age and the implications of personal actions being exposed to public scrutiny.
In a previous press release, Byron praised Kirstin’s leadership and expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and people strategies upon her hiring at Astronomer.
