A woman who was captured on a kiss-cam at a Coldplay concert and seen in an embrace with a man who was not her husband is reportedly divorcing her spouse, the Daily Mail reported.
The tabloid said the footage from the Gillette Stadium concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts, earlier this summer showed 52-year-old Kristin Cabot wrapped in the arms of a man identified as Andy Byron while her husband, businessman Andrew Cabot, 60, was not the person on screen. Julia Cabot, 63, who previously was married to Andrew and has since spoken to the Daily Mail, said her phone flooded with messages after the footage circulated and that many respondents used the word "karma."
According to the Daily Mail account, the couple were filmed by a roving kiss-cam at the 66,000-seat venue while appearing to enjoy themselves until they realized the camera had picked them out for the stadium screen. The report says both Kristin Cabot and Byron raised their hands in surprise and then moved out of view, but not before the moment was visible to the audience and, later, to those who saw the clip on social media and messaging apps.
The Daily Mail quoted Julia Cabot as calling the episode "karma" and as describing Andrew Cabot as a "money-obsessed ego-maniac." The paper characterized Julia as a yoga teacher and said she succeeded Kristin as the wife of Andrew Cabot at an earlier point; it gave the ages of those involved as listed above.
The kiss-cam is a prearranged stadium-entertainment feature that selects audience members to appear on a video board; such moments occasionally produce viral clips when participants react in unexpected ways. The Daily Mail's report framed the Gillette Stadium footage as having immediate personal consequences for those shown on camera.
The newspaper reported that Kristin Cabot is divorcing Andrew Cabot following the exposure of the kiss-cam footage. The report did not provide documents or public filings to independently verify the status or timing of any legal proceedings, nor did it include on-the-record statements from Andrew Cabot, Kristin Cabot or Byron. Attempts to reach representatives for comment were not reported in the Daily Mail story.
Public displays captured by stadium cameras have in past instances led to public embarrassment and, in some cases, relationship disputes, though outcomes have varied. The Daily Mail article presents the Gillette Stadium incident as a catalyst for domestic fallout in this instance, based on interviews and social media reaction.
The parties named in the report have not been identified in official court records in public reporting attached to the Daily Mail story, and the newspaper did not publish corroborating legal documents. Further details about any divorce filing or potential proceedings were not included in the report.
Representatives for Coldplay and Gillette Stadium did not provide comment within the Daily Mail account. The tabloid's coverage centers on the couple seen on the kiss-cam, the personal reaction from Julia Cabot and the claim of ensuing marital separation.
As of the Daily Mail's reporting, the kiss-cam footage and the ensuing messages to Julia Cabot had prompted renewed attention on the personal lives of those involved at a time when the Coldplay tour drew large stadium audiences.
The story was reported by the Daily Mail and summarized here on the basis of that account; independent confirmation of the divorce or of other claims in the report was not provided in that coverage.
