Kristin Cabot, who was seen canoodling with ex-Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, has reportedly filed for divorce following the Coldplay concert scandal.

According to TMZ, Cabot, who was the former HR of Astronomer, requested a legal separation from her husband Andrew Cabot on August 13 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

In July, Cabot and Byron, who is also married, attended the Boston stop of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres tour, where they were seen holding each other in an embrace.

Upon seeing themselves on camera, the two attempted to break away from each other, but it was too late, as Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin called them out. "Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy," the musician joked.

The scandal got messier from there, with both Byron and Cabot exiting the DataOps company, which announced that it was looking for a new chief executive after the video went viral. Basking in the moment, however, was Astronomer's interim CEO Pete DeJoy, who wrote on LinkedIn that while the attention was "unusual and surreal," the company has become a "household name."

Also joining the chaos was Gwyneth Paltrow, who was the spokesperson of a recent Astronomer advertisement. The actor and entrepreneur may have also sought to troll Martin, who she was married to from 2003 to 2016.

"Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones," Paltrow says in the video below.

The video repeatedly cuts to messages about the viral moment, which the actor hilariously deflected.
