Coldplay Cheating Row: Chris Martin Takes A Dig At Andy Byron During Madison Concert, "If You Haven't Done..."
New Delhi: Coldplay resumed their tour with a performance in Madison, Wisconsin, where frontman Chris Martin made a light-hearted reference to a recent viral incident. What's Happening Before the stadium's usual "kiss-cam" segment, Chris Martin addressed the audience, saying, "We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd. How we're gonna do that is we're gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen." With a smile, he added, "So please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now." Chris warning everyone he's gonna put some people on screen 😂 — Neil (@neilenore) July 20, 2025 Background Chris Martin's comment comes shortly after an earlier show in Massachusetts, where the kiss-cam captured Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company's HR head, Kristin Cabot, in a PDA-filled moment. As soon as the kiss-cam showed their glimpse, they hid their faces and turned their backs towards the camera. At the time, Martin had commented, "Either they're having an affair, or they are really shy." The clip quickly went viral and resulted in backlash online. Following the incident, both Byron and Cabot, who are married to other people, were placed on administrative leave by Astronomer. On Saturday, the company's Board of Directors confirmed Byron's resignation through an official statement. The incident drew significant media attention, with online users sharing memes and criticising the duo. Megan Kerrigan, Byron's wife and an educator at the Bancroft School, removed her husband's surname from her Facebook profile before deactivating her account. Kristin Cabot is married to Andrew Cabot, CEO of Privateer Rum. Meanwhile, the Baahubali franchise's social media team joined in on the viral trend. They shared an edited photo of Prabhas and Anushka Shetty as Baahubali and Devasena in a romantic pose, captioning it, "CEO & HR of Maahishmathi," referencing the fictional kingdom from the film.

The Coldplay concert in Massachusetts turned out to be a nightmare for Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, after the kiss cam zeroed in on him sharing an intimate moment with his company's HR chief, Kristin Cabot, triggering a wave of memes and chatter about their affair. The attention has shifted to Bryon's wife, Megan Kerrigan, an accomplished educator and the mother of two kids, who had dropped his surname from her Facebook profile following public outrage after the 'Coldplaygate' – the term used by netizens on the viral kiss cam moment exposing Bryon's alleged affair with Cabot.

Although Megan keeps her life private online, the kiss cam moment at the Coldplay concert brought unexpected attention. An X user revealed online that Megan had dropped her husband's surname from her Facebook profile. 'What a class act! Go Megan. Get that divorce lawyer and get the money," wrote the user called Mrs SpaceX. Kerrigan deleted her Facebook page on Thursday, but screenshots show she removed her married name — Byron— from it earlier in the day. She also deleted her Instagram account. An Expensive Divorce? Megan's move to delete her Facebook profile has led to rumours that the couple may be heading for a divorce. So far, she has not made any official comment. The couple resides in New York. If a divorce happens, Andy may have to pay a large alimony. His net worth is not publicly known, but his company, Astronomer, is worth more than $1 billion.

Meanwhile, Andy Byron has not publicly addressed the incident, although the internet refuses to let the matter die down. The scandal has raised several questions – from Bryon's act of 'cheating" to workplace relationships. view comments First Published: July 19, 2025, 08:19 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
