A video of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay concert in Boston has gone viral, sparking rumours about an alleged affair. The clip shows the pair embracing each other at the concert. But as soon as the "kiss cam" turns to them, they suddenly move away, shielding their faces and ducking down to avoid being seen.  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. 

The moment of their awkward attempt at hiding their identity quickly went viral on social media platforms like TikTok, Reddit and Twitter. Internet users reacted with a mix of shock, amusement and criticism. Some users also poked fun at the ridiculous manner in which the two were outed in public.  

"Man ALL YOU HAD TO DO was no-sell it. If you hadn't gone down like you'd been shot, nobody would've ever known. What, you think your spouses are sat at home watching Coldplay jumbotron footage??? You've absolutely played yourselves," one user wrote. "I think the worst part is how they immediately flinch in shame. If there was no reaction people probably wouldnt have looked into it at all, it clearly didnt help anyway, but it just shows they know its wrong. They cant even own it," commented another.
