What seemed like a typical scene at a Coldplay concert became one of the viral scandals of the year. It all happened in Boston, when the cameras on the main stage focused on a seemingly loving couple... but their reaction upon seeing themselves on screen revealed something else: they were hiding an affair.

The awkward moment in Chris Martin’s words
Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay, was the one who commented in real time on the scene in front of thousands of attendees. Seeing the couple covering their faces with obvious nervousness, he uttered a phrase that is now making headlines around the world:

“What!... Either they’re having an adventure or they’re very shy,” said Chris Martin as he laughed with the audience.
What seemed like a joke turned into a media bomb. The woman in the video quickly covered her face with both hands, while the man lowered his head to hide. Far from being just any couple, it was Andy Byron, CEO of the tech company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, HR director at the same company.
An infidelity discovered live
The LinkedIn profile of Kristin Cabot shows that she is a professional with experience in organizational communication and personnel management, highlighting her “confidence with employees at all levels, from CEOs to managers and assistants.” Paradoxically, it was her closeness to the CEO that was exposed in front of thousands of people.
Andy Byron leads one of the most influential companies in software development and Artificial Intelligence in the United States. And although the Coldplay concert promised to be a night of music and emotions, it ended up becoming the perfect stage for a supposed love affair to come to light... with Chris Martin as an involuntary witness.
