Coldplay’s viral kiss cam moment returns as spooky Halloween meme: ‘You guys win…’
At a Coldplay concert in July, a kiss cam showed Byron and Cabot embracing.
Months after Coldplay’s “kissing cam” scene between former Astronomer CEO Andy Byrne and former HR head Christine Cabot took the internet by storm, the scene has made a memorable comeback, this time as a Halloween meme.
At a Coldplay concert in July, a kiss cam showed Byron and Cabot embracing. The duo, who were reportedly married to someone else, were shocked and tried to hide when Chris Martin joked from the stage, “They’re either in a relationship or they’re too shy.” These images instantly went viral and received harsh criticism from people.
Coldplay scandal returns on Halloween
A viral Instagram video posted by a user named @jasongonzalok shows two skeletons embracing in a “casual” embrace; This is an obvious reference to Byron and Cabot’s awkward kiss-cam incident in July. Shared just days before Halloween 2025, the spooky setting and timing highlight that the Internet still isn’t letting the moment fade away.
Following the scandal, Astronomer responded quickly: the board launched a formal investigation, Byrne was placed on administrative leave, and his profile was quietly removed from the company’s website. Byron tendered his resignation within days, and a week later Cabot did the same. The company appointed co-founder Pete DeJoy as interim CEO and began a formal search for new leadership.
Where are Andy Byron and Christine Cabot now?
According to the Daily Mail, a surprising development occurred when Andy Byrne and his wife Megan were recently spotted walking hand in hand in Kennebunk, Maine. They were both wearing their wedding rings, leading to speculation that the two might get back together. It was also reported that Cabot filed for divorce in August, several months after the scandal emerged.
A spokesperson for Kristin’s husband, Andrew Cabot, told People in September that he and Kristin “separated privately and amicably a few weeks before the Coldplay concert.” Now that the divorce case has been made public, Andrew hopes it will put a respectful end to the speculation and give his family the privacy they have always valued.
Meanwhile, a source tells PEOPLE that Christine and Andy are not in a relationship. “Christine and Andy [Byron] “Hugging your boss at the concert was inappropriate and he takes full responsibility for it,” the source told the publication.
