(Video) Coldplay Accidentally Exposes Couple's Alleged Affair During Recent Concert
However, not everyone is keen to appear on the big concert screens, as some may feel uncomfortable, while others might not supposed to be there. During a recent Coldplay concert, a certain CEO was allegedly caught cheating on his wife with a colleague when the cameras landed on them during the show's 'Kiss Cam' segment. Here's what happened:
Coldplay recently performed in Foxborough, Massachusetts, and during the show's 'Kiss Cam' segment, a couple quickly hid themselves after being projected onto the big screen. Frontman Chris Martin, puzzled by their reaction, playfully quipped, 'Either these two are having an affair or that they're very shy'. He then expressed remorse over what happened, saying that he hopes the band didn't do anything wrong.
A TikTok video of the awkward moment quickly went viral, and as it turns out, the couple in question were identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot. Fans reportedly recognised the pair and began speculating that they were having an affair, based on their visibly uncomfortable reaction to being shown on the 'Kiss Cam'.
Many began flooding the Facebook account of the CEO's wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, leaving comments and messages to inform her of her husband's alleged infidelity. In addition, several individuals claiming to be employees of the company came forward to share their negative experiences working under Andy Byron.
At the time of writing, there has been no official statement from Astronomer regarding the alleged affair between the two colleagues. Coldplay has also yet to comment on the incident, but as the band technically did nothing wrong, it's perhaps best to let fate run its course. If the affair turns out to be true, then let's hope the best for the loved ones who are affected by this.

The claw grip is trending, and it says a lot about women's fashion woes
Everywhere you look, women have their hands full. They are clutching water bottles, phones, cups of matcha and wallets. Now that it's summer, sunglasses dangle off the pinkies of already stuffed hands. Never mind that women's handbags, where these items could theoretically live, make up an entire industry and that bigger bags, in particular, are having a moment. The phenomenon, in which women are gripping their necessities without the aid of pockets or bags, is called the claw grip, and on social media, it has been crowned as a secret superpower. In one video on TikTok, a woman challenged herself to carry as many items as possible in one hand. She managed 15, including a lip balm, a pen, a bottle of hand sanitiser, a Kindle, a notebook, a wallet, a power bank, a comb and three water bottles. Read more: Why toes are taking over: Fashion's growing obsession with feet-first style An Instagram account dedicated to girls carrying things (which uses a profane synonym for 'things' and sometimes goes by GCS) posts images submitted by users of their hands full of various bric-a-brac. 'I have seen my grandma do the claw grip all her life,' comedian Atsuko Okatsuka said in an email. 'Every grandma of every culture and race always has, like, a napkin or a piece of trash that they've been carrying around for a long time, maybe years. 'I have taken on the passed-down tradition of claw hands myself,' she added. 'Whether it's mayonnaise packets, or napkins or my cellphone, I am always holding stuff.' For Halle Robbe, personal experience with this tradition prompted her to create the GCS account on Instagram. In 2021, Robbe had run out to a nearby bodega. 'I just brought my keys, my wallet and my AirPods with me, and then I was going to get a Red Bull,' she said, noting that she did not bring a bag. 'I had it all in my hand so I took a photo and put it on my personal Instagram with some silly caption that was some version of, like, 'After hundreds of years of evolution, this is what I can do.'' Her friends responded to her post almost immediately, saying they do the same thing. Robbe created the GCS account that same day. She initially solicited photos from friends and co-workers, and now she receives more than 100 submissions a day. 'I think we've all been there when we have just, like, an assortment of stuff and we're running out the door,' said Abby Cox, 29, a fashion historian and a YouTube content creator. 'I need to make sure I have my glasses. I need my water bottle. Do I need to bring a snack? 'And so you're going out the door with your purse,' she added, 'And then the stuff that should be in your purse.' A popular theory around the origins of the claw grip is that it is a reaction to the fashion industry's refusal to provide women with the functional pockets that are standard in men's clothing. It was not always this way. As far back as the Regency and Victorian eras, women had pockets in the form of bags that were tied around their waists underneath their big, flouncy skirts, Cox said. Their dresses had slits through which women could access these pockets, which could be as big or small as necessary. Cox added: 'They would have pockets in the hems of skirts or they would have what we call butt pockets, because in the back pleats of gowns, you could hide a deep pocket.' In one of her YouTube videos, in which she is dressed in Victorian clothing, she put an entire bottle of prosecco in such a pocket. In the late 20th century, as female clothing shifted toward narrower silhouettes and lighter textiles, substantial pockets became difficult to incorporate, so they were sized down or erased from garments altogether, she said. In February 2024, Hailey Bieber's brand, Rhode, released a phone case with a built-in lip gloss holder that generated a wait list of more than 200,000 interested customers. Now the case and the lip gloss have become immediately recognisable, partly because of how many times they're seen peeking through women's hands – or particularly, Bieber's hands. This month, Glossier – which from its earliest days had packaged items in pink transparent reusable pouches – released a pair of terry-cloth shorts with a sliver of a pocket that fit only lip balms. There are also side pockets, which could fit a phone, and a single belt loop, potentially for key rings. There are also theories that the claw grip reflects the chaos of the minds of women who are thinking through to-do lists and mentally writing text messages and running errands all at the same time. 'I think holding things in our hands actually is our need to keep something in control,' Okatsuka said. 'I started getting submissions that were like, 'Oh, I'm carrying XYZ and the weight of the world' or something metaphorical like that,' Robbe said. The claw grip, she added, could be seen as 'an extension of or in parallel with the mental and emotional and spiritual burdens that women carry'.

'One day at a farmers market, I saw a woman carrying an absolutely gigantic cabbage,' Kalman said in a 2023 TED Talk. 'It made me think of all the things women hold, literally and metaphorically.' Yes, they hold cabbages, balloons, phones. But also, in her own words, "the home and the family and the children and the food". "The friendships, the work, the work of the world and the work of being human. The memories and the troubles and the sorrows and the triumphs and the love. Men do as well, but not quite in the same way,' she added. She turned her observations into a book of paintings. It is called Women Holding Things. – ©2025 The New York Times Company This article originally appeared in The New York Times.

Mistaken for mother and son, couple prove love knows no age
KUANTAN: To some outsiders, they looked like mother and son. However, to 29-year-old Mohamad Nazir Annuar, Salmah Jaya is not only his wife but also his source of strength, joy and emotional companionship. The 61-year-old mother of seven captured his heart years ago and despite a 32-year age gap, they tied the knot in April 2022 with blessings from both sides of the family. Their relationship, which began through Facebook in 2018, attracted attention after Mohamad Nazir shared a video of their affectionate moments. Many mistook Salmah for his mother or aunt, with some even questioning the authenticity of their relationship. "That is something we have become used to whenever we go out together," he said, acknowledging the curious stares and reactions from strangers. "But I am never ashamed. She is my wife and I love her deeply." Nazir, who works as a catering crew member on an oil rig, said his attraction had always leaned towards older women. Still, it was not easy winning Salmah over. She ignored his friend request for a long time and even blocked him after he managed to get her number. It took years and persistent effort before she finally agreed to meet him in 2021. Their bond grew stronger over time as they discovered shared interests, including a fondness for the colour red and the mystical. The decision to marry came a year later. While Nazir's family had no objections, the initial resistance came from Salmah's children, who were uncomfortable with the significant age gap. "Eventually, they relented because they did not want to see their mother unhappy," he said. For Salmah, marriage was not something she had considered after her husband passed away from a heart attack in 2016. She was content living alone and even rejected advances from other men over the years, many of them in their 30s and 40s. But Nazir's determination softened her stance. "What touched me most was when he braved the floods on a motorcycle just to see me," Salmah said. While they acknowledge their relationship is unconventional, both say their bond is built on mutual respect and sincerity. "I once asked him if he ever felt embarrassed walking beside me, and he said there was nothing to be ashamed of," Salmah said. Though they faced comments and criticism, particularly online, Nazir remains grounded. "This is Allah's will. I know who I married and have never regretted it." The couple also faced heartbreak when Salmah had a miscarriage during their first year of marriage but say they now focus on finding peace and happiness in each other's presence. "I just want to be the best husband I can be," Nazir said. "And I pray that our marriage continues to be blessed."

The Ballad of Kajang Prison – Of Bossku's solo birthday bash
HEMMED in by prison walls He cuts a forlorn figure Sitting on his bed of plank With nary a thought of joy To lighten his heavy heart. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Melaka Daily (@melakadaily) Oh! How I wish to gaze the sky And breathe its air of pure freedom! Now he shakes his head in gloom To remember thus all those years Of unbridled power and kingly cash. Brought down by pitiless law He spends days and nights Ruminating his luckless fate When once life for him an endless Parties of birthday bliss. Birthday? Ah! Something clicks In his mind as he looks up To see on the grimy wall A note he scribbles reminding Him today was he born! Then footsteps he hears A warder outside his dingy cell A rattling noise he makes As he thrusts something Through a small opening. Happy birthday Bossku DS @NajibRazak may Allah SWT bless you always 23 Julai 2025#1Malaysia — BrotherBatu Return (@morasaki12) July 23, 2025 In the patch of light so dim He barely makes out a small Cake served on a banana leaf With some words scrawled Carelessly across the soft top. Hari jadi Bossku! He looks aghast At this spongy thing he thinks A cruel joke played on him For in all his festive gatherings Never did he bite a banana cake. 🤣🤣🤣 Birthday Najib la today(23rd July) Madani punya bodoh sebab ada boot lickers ramai sampai announcement pun pathetically timed🤣🤣🤣 — Rudelyawken (@rudelyawken) July 23, 2025 Oh! How he craves those yummy Butter cakes with all those Chocolate icing richly laid With small cute candles For him to blow come every year. Now with mournful eyes he stares This bare banana cake for him To usher in his 72th milestone With no friends or family members To share some watered-down fun. — Eric SeeTo Lim Sian See (@LimSianSeeEric) July 23, 2025 He bestirs a force uncontrollable Swelling up in him bringing Tears to his tired eyes His trembling voice on the verge Of giving vent to his feelings. He looks all around him As if seeking human companionship But only espies one lonely Figure standing before him 'Tis his shadow on the wall. Then the dam bursts his low Sound from his throat Breaks forth a song To his shadow he sings: Happy birthday to you! He lays himself on his rough bed Fixes his swollen eyes on the ceiling A birthday wish he must make Slowly he forms his words: To home! To early home! – July 27, 2025 Phlip Rodrigues is a retired journalist. The views expressed are solely of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Focus Malaysia.
