By A now-viral moment from a Coldplay concert kiss cam has sparked an internet frenzy after a seemingly intimate couple froze in panic when shown on the big screen. Instead of waving or kissing, the woman buried her face in her hands while the man ducked, prompting Coldplay front man Chris Martin to joke: “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”
The Couple Caught on Coldplay’s Kiss Cam
As Coldplay’s Chris Martin quipped from the stage, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re really shy.” The internet instantly concluded they were having an affair.
Almost immediately, the two were identified as Andy Byron, married CEO of software company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, Astronomer’s Head of HR.
Online sleuths tracked down their executive bios and shared clips from the moment, which pushed #ColdplayKissCam and #Busted into the Twitter-sphere.
While a supposed apology from Byron surfaced, Astronomer did deny its credibility. The company now states it is investigating the incident in which it finds has become an unfortunate overshadowing of what should have been a great night.
The infamous kiss cam moment has become one of the year’s most talked-about viral clips, transforming Coldplay’s concert into an unexpected PR storm for two high-ranking executives.
