Kristen Cabot, the woman who found herself at the centre of Coldplay\u2019s kiss cam scandal back in July 2025, has dropped a new bombshell relating to the viral moment that exposed her \u201caffair\u201d with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron. <\/p>\n
The mum-of-two has sat down for a candid tell-all for Oprah Winfrey\u2019s podcast, <\/a>where she revealed the truth behind her relationship with her then-boss – and the controversial few seconds that changed both of their lives. <\/p>\n In a preview clip ahead of the full episode dropping later tonight, Cabot insists the pair did not do anything wrong on that fateful evening because they were both secretly separated from their partners. <\/p>\n \u201cI was walking into the concert and my daughter messaged me and said \u2018oh it\u2019s so great that you and Andrew (Cabot) are both at Coldplay\u2019. So she let me know that my estranged husband was also at the concert,\u201d Cabot is heard saying in the clip currently being circulated by The Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n The interview is briefly interrupted by the talk show queen, who wanted to point out a very important detail mentioned in that comment – the real truth that no one has known about until now. <\/p>\n \u201cThis is what I did not know before the story and you all obviously didn\u2019t know either,\u201d Winfrey said, asking the live audience sitting in on the chat. <\/p>\n \u201cThat she was separated from her husband and that her boss was also separated – or said he was separated – from his wife.\u201d<\/p>\n The live guests nodded in shock – the detail of their separation has been one that has been left out of the story thus far. <\/p>\n \u201cIn my mind I thought well is this going to be weird if he sees me with Andy? Like that crossed my mind. If I run into him. But then I was like I\u2019m in Gilette Stadium, there\u2019s 55 thousand people here, I\u2019m probably not going to run into him,\u201d she chuckled. <\/p>\n \u201cBut it doesn\u2019t matter … that would\u2019ve been better at the end of the day if I\u2019d just run into him, but he knows how closely Andy and I work together. He knows we socially got lunches and got drinks. It was fine.<\/p>\n \u201cHe knows the nature of my work and the way (I work). I\u2019ve shared desks with the CEOs I work with. It\u2019s a very close relationship so it didn\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/p>\n Except, it certainly did matter when Coldplay frontman Chris Martin put both Cabot and Byron under the kiss cam spotlight, <\/a>seeing them both scramble for cover when the image of them cuddling was plastered on the stadium screen. <\/p>\n \u201cEither they\u2019re having an affair or they\u2019re just very shy,\u201d laughed the musician at their panicked response. <\/p>\n The moment went viral, with the video shared around the globe, racking up more than 300 billion views. <\/p>\n With the full episode of her exclusive chat due to drop later this evening, Cabot is sure to share more truths about that evening and how her private life spiralled following the scandal. <\/p>\n
