According to a report by New York Post, the wife and her kids could get half of his wealth if their divorce happens, anywhere from $20 million to $70 million. The relationship is definitely strained but no confirmation about the couple's future has been made yet.
Their lawyer Nancy Chemtob was quoted saying in a statement- 'It's obviously a long-term relationship. I think the worst thing in this case is the embarrassment factor for the kids.'
'The problem here is that now, the kids are embarrassed, the families are embarrassed, and there's going to be a lot of expenses with regard to therapy for the children, getting separate homes, things like that.'
'Andy Byron's wife has now dropped her married name on Facebook and left comments open on her Facebook! What a class act! Go Megan. Get that divorce lawyer and get the money," wrote the user called Mrs SpaceX on X.
During the concert, Coldplay's lead singer joked about the moment and said, 'Oh look at these two… either they're having an affair or they're very shy."
After the incident, Andy apologized in a viral statement to his wife, family, and colleagues, which read, 'You deserve better from me as a partner, as a father, and as a leader.'

A former colleague of Byron shared that incident has garnered angry reactions from ex-employees. The text groups and chains of former employees are like… everybody's laughing their ass off and enjoying the hell out of what happened and him getting exposed,' he told The New York Post.

Lionel Messi Spotted At Coldplay Concert, Chris Martin Calls Him 'No 1 Sportsperson'

Suspended for Inter Miami's bout against FC Cincinnati, Lionel Messi spent time with his wife at the Coldplay concert in the North American city. Football icon Lionel Messi was spotted at Coldplay's jumbotron alongside his better half in the North American city. Fans jumped and roared in excitement at the concert as a giant screen unveiled Messi's presence, while Coldplay's lead singer, Chris Martin, welcomed the world cup winner to the concert. 'Welcome to my beautiful brother," said Martin from the stage, looking at Messi, who was smiling as he waved acknowledging the loud reception. 'You and your wife are looking so fine. Thanks for coming today to see our band play. The No.1 sportsperson of all time," Martin said. Messi went to the Coldplay concert after attending Inter Miami's goalless draw against FC Cincinnati, for which the 38-year-old had been suspended amidst a breach of an All-Stars match regulation. Speculations had been rife about Messi's absence for the friendly encounter that featured 26 MLS players, including Hirving Lozano, Jordi Alba and Diego Rossi. Even as MLS authorities were desperate for Messi's appearance because of his incredible fame that would've attracted humongous viewership, he gave the game a skip. Because Messi took no part in the MLS All-Stars fixture, he was handed a one-match ban by the Major League Soccer authorities. Messi though was present in the stands on Saturday with Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas calling the punishment 'draconian". He also revealed the legend was 'extremely upset" over the sanction that sidelined him for an important match. 'To fill stadiums and sell tickets, nobody complains. It's strange, one day they say something, and the next day they say something else. We all heard what was said — that it was understandable the number of matches that he had been playing," said Miami's coach Javier Mascherano, reiterating that the ban was imposed despite the club informing MLS officials about the fatigue Messi dealt with amidst a congested schedule. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
