Andy Byron Finally Confirms Romance With Kristin Cabot After Viral Coldplay Kiss Cam Drama!
Andy Byron Finally Confirms Romance With Kristin Cabot After Viral Coldplay Kiss Cam Drama!
“It was supposed to be just a concert,” says Byron — but it turned into the reveal of the year.
After weeks of speculation, whispers, and a wildly uncomfortable viral moment at the Coldplay concert in L.A., Andy Byron has officially confirmed what fans have been buzzing about: he is dating actress and influencer Kristin Cabot — and yes, they’re “very happy.”
This comes after the pair became unexpected stars of a Kiss Cam clip gone wrong that racked up over 18 million views across TikTok and Instagram in just three days.
The Kiss Cam Moment That Set the Internet on Fire
If you somehow missed it (have you been offline?), here’s the rundown: during Coldplay’s emotional performance of “Fix You” at the Hollywood Bowl last month, the stadium’s Kiss Cam landed on none other than Andy Byron — the 32-year-old indie filmmaker turned internet darling — sitting beside Kristin Cabot.
As the crowd roared in anticipation, Byron hesitated… looked very confused… turned to Cabot… then awkwardly looked away.
Social media did not let that slide.
“THE WAY HE LOOKED AWAY 😭😭😭”
“She was ready to kiss him on national LED screen and he blinked.”
“I have secondhand embarrassment from now until eternity.”
Memes. Reactions. TikToks reenacting the moment. Theories about their relationship status. It was Kiss Cam chaos — and no one really knew what was going on.
“We Weren’t Ready for the Spotlight”
In a new interview with Variety, Byron finally addressed the moment and the romance that followed:
“Kristin and I were trying to keep things private. We’d only been seeing each other for a few months, and when the camera hit us, I honestly panicked — not because I didn’t want to kiss her, but because I didn’t know if she wanted the world to know.”
He added, laughing,
“The internet decided for us.”
Kristin Speaks Out — With Sass
Kristin Cabot, best known for her breakout role in the indie drama “Sunlight & Ashes” and her unfiltered lifestyle vlogs, took to Instagram Stories shortly after the interview dropped, posting a selfie with Andy and the caption:
“He kisses me now. Calm down, internet ❤️”
Fans immediately flooded the comments with heart emojis and “FINALLY”s.
From Coldplay to Couple Goals?
Since confirming their relationship, the two have been spotted around L.A. — grabbing smoothies in Silver Lake, holding hands at a rooftop poetry reading (because of course), and even attending a Venice screening of Byron’s latest short film.
Rumor has it Coldplay’s team has even reached out to offer free VIP passes to their next show — if the couple promises to “redeem themselves” on the Kiss Cam.
Fans React: “We Knew It!”
Byron and Cabot stans (yes, there are already fan accounts) have taken a victory lap:
“I KNEW they were together after that Venice Bookstore sighting!!”
“The way he looks at her… even in the awkward Kiss Cam video 😭💘”
“Coldplay’s biggest cultural impact since 2005.”
Final Thoughts
In the age of soft launches, PR relationships, and cryptic captions, Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot’s romance bloomed in the most awkward, real, and human way possible — in front of 18,000 people and millions more online.
And honestly? That might be the most romantic thing about it.
Still waiting on Coldplay to drop “Kiss Cam” as a surprise single. Until then, we’ll be watching this couple closely.
