Kristin Cabot, the former HR chief at tech firm Astronomer, has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Andrew Cabot, just weeks after being caught on Coldplay’s “kiss cam” canoodling with her CEO boss, Andy Byron.
The Viral Moment That Changed Everything
In July, during a Coldplay concert in Boston, Kristin Cabot and Astronomer CEO Andy Byron appeared on the stadium “kiss cam.” Their awkward embrace—punctuated by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin’s cheeky comment, “Either they’re having an affair… or they’re very shy”— quickly went viral. The tech duo’s reaction sparked widespread speculation and media scrutiny.
Divorce Papers Filed
Less than a month later, on August 13, Kristin filed a divorce petition in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, citing irreparable differences with her husband, Andrew Cabot, heir to the Privateer Rum fortune and a prominent Boston Brahmin. This marks Kristin’s second marriage and Andrew’s third.
Tensions Run High in the Cabot Family
Andrew’s ex-wife, Julia Cabot, wasted no time commenting. Describing the situation as “karma,” she argued that neither Kristin nor Andrew seemed “wife material.” She claimed the divorce was no surprise, adding that Andrew cared more about his reputation and wealth than emotions. Julia’s prior divorce from Andrew reportedly ended with a substantial settlement—including a $1 million payout, $1.9 million house, and a Jaguar—suggesting a potentially contentious split ahead.
Wealth, Property & High Stakes
The timing is complicated by their recent real estate purchase—a $2.2 million coastal home in Rye, New Hampshire, co-owned with a hefty $1.6 million mortgage. This shared investment could turn the divorce into a high-stakes financial showdown.
No Public Statements Yet
Neither Kristin nor Andrew Cabot has commented publicly. While Kristen’s resignation from Astronomer came swiftly after the scandal, Andrew similarly withdrew from public view. The full fallout from the Coldplay kiss cam continues to unfold.
