Kristen Cabot, who used to be the Chief Public Officer of Astronomer, has filed for divorce from her husband, Andrew Cabot, in a Portsmouth, New Hampshire, court. The case was filed on August 13, less than a month after a video of her and Astronomer CEO Andy Byron went popular on social media. The video showed them in what looked like an intimate moment during the “Kiss Cam” part of a Coldplay concert. The public incident had immediate and long-lasting effects, as both Byron and Cabot stepped down from their jobs at the computer company.
Andrew Cabot, the CEO of the family-owned Privateer Rum, has been divorced three times. His ex-wife Julia has spoken out about it. Julia told the Daily Mail that she texted Andrew after the video became viral. He didn’t seem to care when he informed her, “Her life is nothing to do with me,” and said they were already breaking up. Julia, who was married to Andrew for four years before they divorced in 2018, stated, “He says it has nothing to do with him, even though they were married and lived together.” But he only worries about money after that.
Julia said that Andrew, who came from an affluent and well-known “Boston Brahmin” family, was not “husband material.” She also said the same thing about Kristen. She said that she got a lot of SMS calling the event “karma” for her ex-husband. She answered, “You get what you give.” “I don’t think what happened has had any effect on him personally. I don’t think he is wounded. If anything, he’s probably humiliated. She ended by saying, “He’s not a good person.” Something bad happened to him now.
The drama that is happening has also revealed something new about the couple’s relationship. Andrew said their marriage was already falling apart, but a source informed the Daily Mail that the Cabots had recently bought a $2.2 million, two-story, four-bedroom mansion on the Atlantic coast five months before the event. Some people are questioning the truth of their claims of long-standing marital troubles because of when they bought the house.
The Kiss Cam event has had a lot of public fallout, and it keeps revealing new things about the personal and professional lives of the people involved. This shows how high the stakes are when private lives are made public.
