A Massachusetts entrepreneur whose wife was caught on a kiss cam cuddling with her boss during a Coldplay concert in July is speaking out for the first time after the moment took the internet by storm. 

A spokesperson for Andrew Cabot, the CEO of Privateer Rum, a liquor brand based in Ipswich, Massachusetts, told People that him and his wife, Kristin, had already been “amicably separated several weeks before the Coldplay concert.”

When they realized, the couple covered their faces and ducked out of view, prompting Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to quip, “Woah, look at these two. They’re either having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
