Coldplay

Kristin Cabot -- one half of the couple who went viral on social media when they were caught getting cozy at a Coldplay concert -- is opening up to Oprah Winfrey with some new details about that fateful night ... that are frankly mind-blowing.

In "The Oprah Podcast" interview -- first reported by People -- Kristin confirmed she was separated from her husband at the time of the video was recorded ... but the real news is that her estranged husband was randomly also at the concert that night!

According to Kristin, her daughter excitedly texted her that they were both at the venue.

Kristin Cabot -- one half of the duo who went viral after getting caught cozying up at a Coldplay concert last year -- is doing some serious image rehab in Florida ... stepping out in a revealing blue bikini.

The former Astronomer chief people officer was snapped hitting the beach Friday, rocking a sunhat and two-piece while splashing in the waves and soaking up the sun.

It's safe to say, she looked relaxed -- a far cry from the firestorm following that infamous kiss cam moment with her boss, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron. The clip blew up online and ultimately led to her resignation.

Kristin Cabot -- one half of the couple who went viral on social media this summer when they were caught getting cozy at a Coldplay concert -- is the keynote speaker at a crisis PR conference in D.C. ... where tickets are going for $875.

The former "chief people officer" for Astronomer will share the stage with PR pro Dini von Mueffling for a 30-minute discussion titled "Kristin Cabot: Taking Back the Narrative."

It's part of PRWeek's Crisis Comms Conference and tickets to the April event range from $750 to $875 ... with 14 other speakers scheduled to grab the mic.

Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot -- the couple who got caught having an affair at a Coldplay concert last summer -- won't ever live it down ... because Pepsi's thrown the moment into their new ad campaign!

The soda giant just dropped their Super Bowl ad on social media ... which begins with a polar bear -- an iconic Coca-Cola mascot -- taking the Pepsi Challenge, and choosing Pepsi over Coke.

The shocked bear runs off to a therapy session -- with a heavily bearded Taika Waititi talking him through his issues -- before he hits the city streets and meets a lady bear on the street ... who offers him a Pepsi.

The two then attend a concert together ... where they're shown on the Jumbotron ... cuddled up and sipping on the beverage.

Hulk Hogan's death came as a shock to the world ... and to our newsroom, where we were shooting one of our TV shows when the Sports Department learned the news. We later learned the WWE star died from a heart attack.

We dove more deeply into Hulk's life and death in our documentary "TMZ Presents: The Real Hulk Hogan" ... available to stream on Hulu.

Diddy dodged a bullet when he was found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering ... charges that could've landed him a life sentence in federal prison.

The music mogul's still doing time for his two Mann Act convictions ... but, check out this clip of our newsroom as the decision was announced -- complete and utter shock!

We were also live-streaming when Diddy received 50 months in federal prison ... even though it seemed like Judge Arun Subramanian might give him a whole lot more time behind bars.

Jason Taylor had folks worried the Hall of Famer was caught in a "Coldplay kiss cam" moment when the cameras spotted him with a beautiful woman at "Monday Night Football" ... but the good news?? They're married!!

The Miami Dolphins great was shown on the ESPN broadcast in the fourth quarter of the 27-21 win over the New York Jets ... and at first glance, it looked like the stunning lady was scrambling to get out of the shot -- as if the two weren't supposed to be on national television together.

It turns out it was NOT what it looked like at all ... 'cause 51-year-old Jason and Monica Taylor, 31, have been hubby and wifey since 2020.

Kristin Cabot and Andy Byron became the subject of intense interest from the public when they were caught embracing -- then hiding -- on the jumbotron at a July 2025 Coldplay concert.

And, it turned out the businesswoman had been married to entrepreneur Andrew Cabot, from whom she was estranged at the time of the show.

Here's a look into the background of Kristin's soon-to-be former spouse, who tried his best to remain out of the public eye after she was busted at the concert.

Andrew's a member of the Cabot family, which has been based in the New England region for hundreds of years.

The family's considered part of the "Boston Brahmin," a group of wealthy families who make up much of Boston's high society.

Kristin had been associated with Andrew's family for several years, and they had shared an address since at least 2023, according to the New York Post.

Andrew had two children from a prior relationship, but didn't share any kids with Kristin.

Andrew formerly worked in the tech industry, although he changed paths in 2011, when he founded Privateer Rum, and he serves as that company's CEO and COO.

The company was inspired by his 18th-century ancestor and namesake, who worked as both a privateer and rum-maker, according to the Boston Globe.

Andrew told the Globe he took on the project in an effort to work with a product with "ties to my family history."

Kristin was also involved with the business, and she listed herself as one of Privateer's "advisory board members" on her LinkedIn account, according to the New York Post.

Kristin became an online sensation when she was caught with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron at the Coldplay show ... and the interoffice scandal forced both to leave the AI firm.

The businesswoman eventually decided to end her marriage with Andrew, and she filed for divorce in August 2025, according to NBC News.

The thing is, Kristin and Andrew had been separated for several weeks prior to the concert, and a spokesperson for the latter told People he and Kristin had split "amicably."

Kristin Cabot and her estranged husband, Andrew, might not be seeing eye to eye in the midst of their divorce ... but both agree it's best if a judge seals their divorce proceedings.

Andrew filed a motion in a New Hampshire court last month -- shortly after Kristin filed for divorce -- assenting to his ex's motion to seal the divorce petition and the proceedings in their entirety.

Basically, Andrew says he and Kristin are on the same side ... they don't want the attention their divorce will bring after she was thrust into the spotlight at a Coldplay concert.

Kristin Cabot -- the woman caught having an alleged affair with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron at Coldplay's concert in July -- has reportedly filed for divorce.

The former Astronomer HR honcho filed to separate from husband Andrew Cabot at a court in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on Aug. 13, Daily Mail reports.

The outlet claims to have spoken to Andrew's 2nd wife Julia, who says she texted her ex shortly after Kristin's Kiss Cam moment went viral. His reported response was ... "Her life is nothing to do with me" and confirmed they're separating.

Chris Martin has set the record straight about the Astronomer CEO scandal that took the internet by storm ... and he wants to make one thing clear -- the camera is not meant for kissing!

The Coldplay frontman hilariously addressed the jumbotron fiasco that took off in July, telling the audience at his Tuesday night concert in Hull, England that the camera panning the crowd "never will be, and never was a kiss cam."

He added ... "This is called a jumbotron, and we've done this for a long, long time. We pick people out to say hello. And sometimes they turn up to become an internationally massive scandal, sure. But most of the time we're just trying to say hello to some f**king people, that's all!" Case closed.

Megan Rapinoe and her fiancée, Sue Bird, jumped into the viral Coldplay concert cam trend headfirst -- but the couple added a twist -- and they had the whole arena cracking up!

The legendary soccer player and Bird -- who retired from the WNBA in 2022 -- pulled off the stunt on Tuesday during the 2nd quarter of the Minnesota Lynx and Seattle Storm game at Climate Pledge Arena.

During a break in the action, Rapinoe -- seated courtside -- was shown on the big screens in the arena ... when cameras cut to Bird, who was cuddling up with the Storm's mascot, Doppler.

Lionel Messi was captured on the Coldplay Kiss Cam -- a dangerous place to be these days -- but, no Astronomer reenactment here ... the soccer legend hit up the show with his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo!

The couple -- along with their three kids -- hit up Hard Rock Stadium Sunday night to catch the band's final U.S. show on their "Music of the Spheres" tour.

As you would expect, the crowd went nuts when Messi was shown on the big screen, including Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin.

Astronomer is really leaning into the Coldplay kiss-cam cheating scandal ... by hiring Gwyneth Paltrow to help with some public relations.

Chris Martin's A-List ex was hired as a "very temporary" spokeswoman for the company, and she filmed a funny video as part of the gig ... answering some questions folks are dying to know about Astronomer ... well, sort of.

Ya gotta see the video ... it's hilarious.

Kristin Cabot has resigned from her head of HR position at Astronomer in the wake of the Coldplay cheating scandal, TMZ has learned.

A rep for Astronomer tells TMZ, "Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer -- she’s resigned."

Kristin’s resignation comes right after her lover Andy Byron quit as Astronomer’s CEO on Saturday -- both dropping like flies after they were caught getting way too cozy at a Coldplay concert, sparking an internal investigation into workplace conduct.

Astronomer just tapped a new interim CEO ... and he’s already breaking his silence on the Coldplay cheating scandal. His message? The company’s been through storms before, and this one’s no different -- they’ll bounce back, business as usual!

Pete DeJoy dropped an official statement on Astronomer’s site, saying after a decade of building this biz, they’ve been tested time and again -- and every time, they’ve come out stronger. Translation: they plan to ride out this controversy the same way.

Pete added the past few days brought media frenzy most companies -- let alone a niche data-and-AI startup -- never see, so the spotlight’s been surreal for the team.
