Kristin Cabot has revealed a key new detail about her viral kiss cam moment which thrust her into global headlines in July 2025.<\/p>\n
The former Astronomer chief people officer sat down with Oprah Winfrey for a tell-all podcast to be released on YouTube on Tuesday, describing it as her only on-camera interview.<\/p>\n
In a preview, Cabot revealed both she and her estranged husband – as well as Byron and his wife – were already separated at the time of the infamous kiss-cam moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was walking into the concert, and my daughter messaged me saying it\u2019s great that you and Andrew are both at Coldplay,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
“So she let me know that my estranged husband was also at the concert.”<\/p>\n
Winfrey noted that the couple\u2019s prior estrangement from their partners as a new and crucial detail.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is what I didn\u2019t know, and clearly you didn\u2019t either,\u201d Winfrey told her live audience.<\/p>\n
Cabot admitted she was worried her husband would see her with the Astronomer CEO – but dismissed that fear given the size of the crowd.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut then I was like, I\u2019m in Gillette Stadium, there\u2019s 55,000 people here, I\u2019m probably not going to run into him,\u201d she told the legendary talk show host.<\/p>\n
Cabot added her husband was aware of her close working relationship with Byron, describing it as typical of her role working closely with senior executives.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it doesn\u2019t matter … that would\u2019ve been better at the end of the day if I\u2019d just run into him, but he knows how closely Andy and I work together. He knows we socially got lunches and got drinks. It was fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe knows the nature of my work and the way (I work). I\u2019ve shared desks with the CEOs I work with. It\u2019s a very close relationship so it didn\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
The clip which amounted to more than a billion views, showed Cabot and Byron at the Coldplay concert in Massachusetts in July last year, embracing before quickly recoiling from the camera – fuelling widespread online speculation of an affair.<\/p>\n
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin joked at the time: \u201cEither they\u2019re having an affair or they\u2019re just very shy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both Cabot and Byron shortly stepped down from their roles within the same month of the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kristin Cabot has revealed a key new detail about her viral kiss cam moment which thrust her into…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":389676,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[268],"tags":[54743,54744,434,10314,10315,18,117,177969,19,17,177967,177968,41660,41663,5448],"class_list":["post-389675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-andy-byron","tag-astronomer","tag-celebrities","tag-chris-martin","tag-coldplay","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-gweneth-paltrow","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-kiss-cam","tag-krsiten-cabot","tag-oprah","tag-oprah-winfrey","tag-viral"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116244810627016758","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389675\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
