Chris Martin is not allowing cheaters to get away with their illicit affairs during Coldplay's concerts!
The frontman of the rock band Coldplay began trending this week after a kiss cam moment during one of his shows unveiled what appeared to be an affair. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his HR chief, Kristin Cabot, were caught on camera behaving in an unprofessional manner.
The controversial moment during Coldplay's show in Boston sparked infidelity theories given the CEO's married status, and it also went viral for Chris Martin's quick reaction to the shocking moment. The singer appears to have learned a valuable lesson and is out to catch any cheater in the crowd.
Chris Martin Questions Couples' Legitimacy In Coldplay Show
Following the Astronomer CEO drama, Martin and his band performed a recent show where the guitarist played a nosy cop. During the kiss cam segment, he focused on a couple in the crowd and repeatedly asked if they were genuine lovers or having an affair.
A video of the interaction made rounds on X, capturing Martin's hilarious query. "Okay, now listen, are you two a couple? Are you two a legitimate couple?" he asked as the crowd laughed. When he didn't get a response from the lovebirds, the singer wondered if they understood English and tried asking in Spanish.
Martin refused to budge until he received a response from the couple, with the woman nodding her head and the man giving him a thumbs-up.
The amusing moment sparked conversation on X, with many fans finding the situation hilarious. "Epic comeback trolling," someone wrote. Another agreed, claiming, "The Divorce Tour is next."

The incident that sparked Martin's relationship checks occurred during his band's performance at Gillette Stadium in Boston, Massachusetts. The kiss cam had been scanning the crowd for couples when it landed on the unsuspecting CEO of the software company and his HR chief.
Bryon wrapped his arms around Cabot, lost in their world until they noticed themselves on the screen. They immediately separated, with Bryon ducking for cover behind a barrier while Cabot covered her face, presumably in shame, and turned her back to the camera.
The Blast shared that Martin found their reactions suspicious, saying, "Either they're having an affair or they're very shy." The former suggestion went viral on social media, with many pointing out the couple were cheating, given Bryon's status as a married man.
The Alleged Cheaters Showered Each Other In Praise
Bryon has been CEO of Astronomer, a software company valued at over $1.3 billion, since July 2023. Meanwhile, his presumed lover, Cabot, joined the company last November as Chief People Officer. During her appointment, Bryon praised her "exceptional leadership."
He claimed Cabot was a "proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies, and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer." The HR chief echoed similar sentiments about her relationship with Bryon.
Cabot praised him as a solid supporter, noting she felt "energized" after their conversations. Her fall from grace and new label as a homewrecker comes a year after Martin went viral for a stage mishap. The Blast shared that the singer made waves on X following a video of his shocking fall during a concert.
The Coldplay Frontman Played Off His Scary Fall
During the November 2024 incident, Martin and his band had wrapped up the last of four shows at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium. The entertainer was interacting with members of the audience, solely focused on them as he walked, and he didn't notice the open gap on stage.
Fortunately, a crew member was quick on their feet and noticed when Martin got dangerously close to the gap. They had their hands up ready to catch him, and they successfully stopped him from falling into the trap door or sustaining any injuries.
Martin quickly bounced back on his feet, laughing off the incident while thanking the crew member for saving him. "Thank you, guys, holy sh-t. This will probably be a YouTube moment," he joked with fans, assuring them that he was fine.
Chris Martin Revealed Coldplay's Album Plans
When Martin wasn't falling through trap doors or looking out for cheaters, he was focused on creating new music with his band. However, The Blast shared that he took a "less is more" approach when releasing albums.
During a 2024 interview, Martin declared Coldplay would only release "12 proper albums." He explained that they chose to cap their discography before stepping away from releasing new material because they wished to focus on quality rather than quantity.
"Having that limit means that the quality control is so high right now," Martin said. He cited popular franchises like Harry Potter to back his argument, adding that it took a great toll on him and his bandmates to create albums. "I want to give the others some of their life for themselves," he claimed.
