Coldplay frontman Chris Martin publically accuses an unidentified couple during a Kiss Cam moment, igniting rumors of extramarital affairs.
In an unexpected turn of events, the recent Coldplay concert at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, Ontario, on July 07, 2025, has sparked rumors of a romantic connection between two high-profile figures in the tech industry.
During the performance, frontman Chris Martin playfully questioned the relationship between Andy Byron, CEO of the New York-based tech firm Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company's Chief Human Resources Officer, after they were caught on the Kiss Cam. The couple's reaction, which included a quick attempt to hide from the camera, has since been the subject of widespread speculation and debate online.
Martin's comment was met with laughter from the audience, but the incident has since taken a more serious turn. Representatives for Byron and Cabot have not returned requests for comment, and neither has publicly commented on the matter. The internet has been flooded with comments about the incident on Byron's LinkedIn page, referencing Coldplay songs and questioning the relationship between Byron and Cabot.
The incident has also led to a flood of reactions on Astronomer's social media platforms, prompting the company to disable comments. Despite this, online sleuths have claimed the man and woman in the video to be Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, respectively.
Chris Martin later expressed regret for his comment, saying, "Oh s**t, I hope we didn't do something bad." However, the incident has certainly caught the attention of the public, with the couple's connection to Coldplay adding to the intrigue.
