Privateer Rum CEO Andrew Cabot’s wife, Kristin, was reportedly caught in a romantic moment with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron at a Coldplay concert in Boston while Andrew was away on a business trip in Japan, sources cited by the New York Post. The video of the moment quickly went viral.

“Andrew was in Asia for a few weeks and returned on Saturday, so he was gone while all this went down," the report quoted the unnamed source as saying.

Andrew and his family members were utterly shocked and caught off guard by Kristin’s actions, NDTV quoted a report as saying.

“The family is now saying they have been having marriage troubles for several months and were discussing separating, which I find interesting since, as of a month ago, they were saying how in love they are," the source added.

Kristin and Andrew tied the knot in 2022 after her previous divorce was finalised. Just five months before the scandal surfaced, the couple had invested in a $2.2 million mansion in Rye, New Hampshire, indicating a seemingly stable relationship.

Andrew hails from the esteemed Cabot family, a prominent member of America’s upper crust, famously known as the ‘Boston Brahmins’. This elite class was dubbed by Oliver Wendell Holmes in his 1861 novel Elsie Venner, likening Boston’s high-society families to ‘the Brahmin Caste of New England’.

Brahmins are the highest priestly caste in India, and Holmes borrowed the term to describe Boston’s upper-class, Anglo-Saxon Protestant families, which has stuck since then, NDTV reported.

The Viral Video

At Coldplay’s Boston concert, the camera caught Byron snuggling up behind Cabot at Gillette Stadium, and the moment was broadcast on the Jumbotron. The unexpected exposure sent both into panic mode – Byron ducked down, trying to hide, while Cabot attempted to conceal her face.

The frantic manner in which the couple hid made Coldplay’s Chris Martin joke that they were either having an affair or they were very shy.

“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy," Martin said.

According to additional footage taken right after, he added, “Holy sh-t. I hope we didn’t do something bad."

In the wake of the controversy, Byron stepped down first, and later, Kristin also resigned from her position on Thursday.
