Former Astronomer HR Kristin Cabot and her husband have officially filed for divorce, two months after she and then Astronomer CEO Andy Byron were caught in a kiss cam at a Coldplay concert, a report said. The video had gone viral on social media sparking meme fest and leading to their resignations.
52-year-old Cabot and her husband Andrew Cabot went for divorce less than a month after the Coldplay Kiss-Cam, reported the New York Post. It added their relationship was already on the verge of collapse, and Andrew reportedly reacted casually when he found out that his wife had already moved on.
“I texted Andrew right after it happened, and he said: ‘Her life is nothing to do with me,’ and said they were separating,” his ex-wife, Julia Cabot, told The Daily Mail, reported The Post.
“He’s saying it has nothing to do with him, even though they were married and shared a house. But then, the only thing he cares about is money,” she reportedly added.
Coldplay kiss-cam row
Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot were caught romancing on the kiss-cam. Once they saw themselves on the cam, the duo rushed to hide their faces, but till then, the world had their faces in their eyes. The damage was done and the video went viral sparking debates.
The Mail reported that the paperwork it saw showed that Cabot filed papers to dissolve the marriage at a court in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on Aug 13.
The report mentioned that the divorce would be the third for Andrew Cabot, the CEO of family company Privateer Rum, whom Julia Cabot described as a descendant of a ‘Boston Brahmin’ family.
What Cabot’s ex-wife said
63-year-old Julia Cabot, at the time of controversy, had said that her ex-husband was a jerk who had it coming.
“That’s why after it happened, I got loads of texts from people with that word: karma. It was like: what you give, you get. Personally, I don’t think he’s affected by what happened at all. I don’t think his feelings are hurt. He’s probably embarrassed, if anything,” she added. Julia was married to Andrew Cabot for four years until they split in 2018.
On the divorce part, several sources reported that the couple had been pretending to show that their marriage was not working out.
