Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin responded by saying "either they're having an affair or they're just very shy."

Kristin Cabot, a 52-year-old HR executive who was associated with Astronomer, has filed for divorce from her husband, Andrew Cabot, just weeks after she was caught on the Coldplay Kiss-Cam cosying up to her boss.

According to a Daily Mail report, those close to Andrew Cabot described the move as “karma.” The couple’s marriage had already been strained, and Andrew appeared unfazed when the scandal broke.

“I texted Andrew right after it happened, and he said: ‘Her life is nothing to do with me,’ and said they were separating,” his ex-wife, Julia Cabot, told the Daily Mail.

“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,” she added.

Julia, who was previously married to Andrew, did not hold back in her remarks, saying, “I wouldn’t say he’s husband material. But she doesn’t seem like wife material either,” in reference to Kristin, who has now been married twice.

Court documents viewed by the Daily Mail show that Kristin filed for divorce on August 13 at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. This marks Andrew’s third divorce.

Earlier, Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot were caught on camera at the Coldplay concert in Massachusetts in an awkward clip that quickly went viral.
