The woman at the center of last year’s viral Coldplay kiss cam moment is sharing shocking new details about that fateful night, including the fact that her estranged husband was also in the building.
Kristin Cabot sat down with Oprah Winfrey for “The Oprah Podcast,” revealing jaw-dropping context behind the now-infamous jumbotron footage that made her an internet sensation.
The clip, filmed at Gillette Stadium in 2025, showed Cabot sharing a passionate kiss with her companion, later identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, while the Coldplay song “Yellow” played in the background.
In the interview, first reported by People, Cabot confirmed she was already separated from her husband when the video was recorded. But the bombshell revelation came next: her estranged husband was randomly at the same concert that night.
Cabot explained that her daughter had excitedly texted her to say both parents were at the venue simultaneously.
“In my mind I thought, ‘Is this gonna be weird if he sees me with Andy if I run into him?'” Cabot recalled. “But then I was like, ‘I’m in Gillette Stadium. There are 55,000 people here. I’m probably not gonna run into him.'”
She now wishes she had run into him instead of being broadcast to thousands on the big screen and millions online, turning her into a global meme overnight.
Cabot, who has since filed for divorce, told The New York Times last fall that she believed Byron was also splitting from his wife. He has never spoken publicly and has since been seen with his wife.
Despite internet sleuths branding her a “homewrecker,” Cabot clarified that her estranged husband already knew about her relationship with Byron before the concert footage went viral.
The interview marks Cabot’s most extensive comments yet on the incident that launched her into unexpected fame. Fans can watch the full episode for more details on the night that changed everything.
