The husband of Kristin Cabot, the woman involved in the Coldplay kiss cam scandal, has spoken out about the incident after it was made public that she has filed for divorce.
Kristin Cabot, head of human resources at software company Astronomer, filed for a divorce from her husband Andrew Cabot after being caught cuddling with the company鈥檚 CEO Andy Byron.
In a statement to People, a spokeswoman for Andrew said the pair 鈥渨ere privately and amicably separated鈥 in the weeks before the concert in the United States.
Kristin filed for a divorce on August 13 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, reports the Daily Mail.
鈥淣ow that the divorce filing is public, Andrew hopes this provides respectful closure to speculation and allows his family the privacy they鈥檝e always valued.鈥
Kristin and Byron鈥檚 affair was exposed at a Coldplay concert in July when a jumbotron kiss cam focused on the pair.
The illicit couple quickly hid from the cameras, prompting frontman Chris Martin to joke 鈥渆ither they鈥檙e having an affair or they鈥檙e just very shy鈥.
They were quickly identified as colleagues at the tech start-up.
Byron resigned from his position as CEO the following day and Kristin was confirmed to have left shortly after, according to the BBC.
In a post to LinkedIn, Byron鈥檚 successor Pete DeJoy acknowledged the scandal preceding his appointment.
鈥淭he spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name鈥.
The incident captured the internet鈥檚 attention for weeks, producing a multitude of memes and even inspiring a viral Gwyneth Paltrow ad.
Astronomer hired the actor, who is Martin鈥檚 ex-wife, to play a 鈥渢emporary spokesperson鈥 for the company.
The short clip pokes fun at the cheating scandal, Paltrow cheekily remarking 鈥渨e鈥檝e been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation鈥.
Kristin and Byron are still yet to acknowledge the event publicly.
