People<\/a> the couple had been \u201cprivately and amicably separated several weeks before the Coldplay concert\u201d.<\/p>\n\u201cTheir decision to divorce was already underway prior to that evening,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow that the divorce filing is public, Andrew hopes this provides respectful closure to speculation and allows his family the privacy they\u2019ve always valued.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo further public comment will be made.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 61-year-old is the CEO of Privateer Rum, and has two children from a previous marriage.<\/p>\n
The world was shocked when the kiss-cam caught Ms Cabot and Mr Byron\u2019s unusual reaction to being up on the big screen.<\/p>\n
Mr Byron ducked out of view, and Ms Cabot covered her face, looking embarrassed as she realised they were on display.<\/p>\n
Chris Martin, Coldplay\u2019s lead singer, was quick to respond to their behaviour, and said to the audience \u201ceither they\u2019re having an affair or they\u2019re just very shy\u201d.<\/p>\n
This action sparked cheating rumours online, and in the weeks after the incident, she resigned as Astronomer\u2019s head of HR.<\/p>\n
Mr Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, who has since removed his last name from her social media profiles.<\/p>\n
In a PR move that sent the internet into hysteria, Gwyneth Paltrow (Chris Martin\u2019s ex) made a surprise appearance as a spokesperson for Astronomer fielding questions about the scandal.<\/p>\n
Since then, Chris Martin has made headlines for his interactions with fans during shows as he tries to avoid more awkward relationship fallout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kristin Cabot\u2019s husband has spoken out for the first time since she was caught with then-Astronomer CEO Andy…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":125422,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,5343,96,56,54,55,659,71],"class_list":["post-125421","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-culture","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-usa","tag-world"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125421"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125421\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
