Coldplay’s Chris Martin has found humor in accidentally exposing an affair between former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his colleague Kristin Cabot.
During Coldplay’s concert at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wis., on Saturday, July 19, Martin warned the audience that the kiss cam would be making its rounds to concertgoers for the Jumbotron.
The couple's affair was exposed on Wednesday, July 16.
Chris Martin Jokes About Exposing Couple's Affair
Chris Martin warned the crowd to 'do' their 'makeup' for the kiss cam.
“We’d like to say hello to some of you in the crowd and put some of you on the big screen,” the singer announced to the crowd. “How we’re going to do that is we’re going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.”
Martin laughed as he mocked the viral kiss cam footage from July 16, when Byron and Cabot’s affair was revealed. “Please, if you haven’t done your makeup, do your makeup now,” he joked.
Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot's Lives at Home
The couple immediately ducked and ran from the camera's view.
Byron and Cabot had only been working together since November 2024 before their intimate relationship was put on display for the entire world to see. The Astronomer colleagues are both married to other people, leaving their relationship not only controversial in the workplace but also at home.
After a video of the couple hugging on the Coldplay kiss cam was shared via TikTok by concertgoer Grace Springer, Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, removed her last name from her Facebook. She also deactivated her social media accounts.
Before her Facebook was no longer available, Megan doted about her family by sharing photos of herself, Andy and their children.
