Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal: Kristin Cabot Spotted Without Wedding Ring After Resignation
Rye, New Hampshire — July 27, 2025
Kristin Cabot, a high-ranking HR executive at the tech firm Astronomer, has officially resigned following a viral kiss cam moment with CEO Andy Byron during a Coldplay concert in Boston — an incident that has sparked widespread online backlash and speculation about her marriage.
Cabot, 52, was photographed outside her $2.2 million coastal home in Rye, noticeably without her wedding ring, just days after stepping down from her corporate role. The images, published exclusively by Daily Mail, show her appearing subdued while watering plants in her garden, wearing a pink athletic outfit and light jacket.
The viral footage from the July 16 Coldplay concert showed Cabot and Byron — both of whom are married to other people — sitting closely when the kiss cam landed on them. The two quickly pulled away in apparent panic, but the moment was already circulating online within hours.
A spokesperson told TMZ, “Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer. She’s resigned.” The company also confirmed that Andy Byron stepped down earlier this week amid the growing controversy.
Fallout and Family Silence
Cabot’s husband, Andrew Cabot, CEO of Privateer Rum and heir to a $15.4 billion fortune, has not been seen publicly since returning from a business trip to Asia. While no formal divorce filings have emerged in New Hampshire or Massachusetts, new “No Trespassing” signs have been installed outside the couple’s home, suggesting rising tensions.
Despite the public scandal, Kristin hosted a small backyard gathering this week, with guests seen playing soccer and golf. However, her absent wedding ring — which had been visible in past public and family appearances — quickly became a focal point of discussion.
The House, the Mortgage, and What’s Next
Public records show the Cabots purchased their Rye home in February with a $1.6 million mortgage. The property was listed as a fixer-upper, but no renovation work has been initiated yet. With shared financial obligations, a potential split could be complex.
As of now, no formal comments have been made by either Kristin or Andrew Cabot.
The scandal has also triggered an ongoing debate on social media about privacy, infidelity, and the ethics of filming and sharing private moments at public events like concerts.
