Kristin Cabot’s Husband Addresses Their Divorce Following Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal

Kristin Cabot’s estranged husband is addressing their divorce in the wake of her viral kiss cam moment with former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron during a Coldplay concert.

A spokesperson for Andrew Cabot told People in a statement on Monday, September 8, that Kristin and Andrew “were privately and amicably separated several weeks before the Coldplay concert.”

The spokesperson added that the pair’s “decision to divorce was already underway prior to that evening. Now that the divorce filing is public, Andrew hopes this provides respectful closure to speculation and allows his family the privacy they’ve always valued.”

Andrew is the CEO of Privateer Rum, a New England distillery, and has two children from a prior marriage, according to People. He and Kristin do not have children together. Kristin was previously married to Kenneth Thornby, whom she divorced in 2022. The exes reportedly share a child. 

Kristin filed for divorce in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on August 13, per court documents obtained by The Daily Mail on September 6. At that point, neither she nor Andrew had publicly addressed their separation. (Us Weekly has reached out for comment.)

Kristin, formerly Chief People Officer at Astronomer, made headlines when she and her then-boss, Byron, were caught on a jumbotron embracing as they watched Coldplay’s July 16 show at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. As the camera panned over to Kristin and Byron, she turned and shielded her face while he dropped to the ground to hide.
