The husband of a woman caught in a kiss cam cheating scandal at a Coldplay concert claims they had split up before the incident.

Andrew Cabot said he and Kristin Cabot had broken up “several weeks” before she was seen arm in arm with Andy Byron in July at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Moments after the camera focused on Ms Cabot, 52, and Mr Byron, 50, they both recoiled in horror and backed away, with a clip of the incident quickly going viral.

Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, said to the crowd in the clip: “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
