Kristin Cabot Files for Divorce After Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal
Kristin Cabot, the former astronomer turned HR executive who made headlines after being caught on the Coldplay kiss cam with her then-boss Andy Byron, has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Andrew Cabot.
The scandal, which unfolded in July, quickly went viral after Cabot, 52, was filmed canoodling with Byron during a Coldplay concert. The fallout led to both Cabot and Byron resigning from their respective roles.
At the time of the incident, Kristin was still married to Andrew Cabot, the CEO of Privateer Rum and a sixth-generation heir to the historic Cabot family fortune.
Divorce Proceedings Confirmed
According to court documents obtained by The Daily Mail, Kristin filed her divorce petition in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on August 13—less than a month after the kiss cam incident.
This marks the third divorce for Andrew Cabot, who comes from what is described as a “Boston Brahmin” lineage, one of the city’s oldest and wealthiest families.
Andrew Cabot’s Reaction
Despite the public embarrassment, Andrew Cabot appeared unfazed by the scandal. His ex-wife, Julia Cabot, revealed that he brushed it off when she reached out after the story broke.
“I texted Andrew right after it happened, and he said: ‘Her life is nothing to do with me,’ and said they were separating,” Julia told The Daily Mail.
She added: “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.”
Julia Cabot Speaks Out
Julia, a 63-year-old yoga teacher who was married to Andrew for four years until their split in 2018, did not hold back in her criticism.
“I wouldn’t say he’s husband material,” she remarked, before adding, “But she doesn’t seem like wife material either,” in reference to Kristin Cabot, who has now been married twice.
Julia also suggested that Andrew’s attitude reflects his privileged background.
“He’s a Boston Brahmin, that’s their code: ‘This isn’t anything to do with me.’ His ego is too big to be affected by this and the only thing that he’s bummed about is that he was embarrassed.”
According to Julia, friends texted her saying the situation was “karma.”
“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 said.
Concluding, Julia noted: “He’s not a nice person. Now something not nice happened to him.”
