Secured your tickets to see Coldplay at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens next weekend?

Lucky you. Because the beloved band is getting a lot of buzz right now, but not for their music.

During their concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., on Wednesday night, the so-called Kiss Cam snagged two people in a romantic clutch.

“Ooooh, look at these two,” said lead singer Chris Martin to the screaming crowd.

When they realized they were up on the Jumbotron for all to see, the man ducked out of sight and the woman grabbed her face in embarrassment and looked away.

“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy... not quite sure,” Martin said.

Once the TikTok clip went viral, someone out there in the digital universe figured out the people were indeed having an affair as Martin suggested.

The man hugging the woman from behind is Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, married with two kids. The lady is his top HR executive Kristin Cabot. The mother of one is reportedly divorced but her relationship status at the time of the concert is unclear.

Neither individual in the viral video has confirmed nor denied his or her identity but the NYC based AI startup did say that a statement purported to be from Byron was false.

“This is not who I want to be or how I want to represent the company I helped build. I’m taking time to reflect, to take accountability, and to figure out the next steps, personally and professionally,” the “statement” circulating online partially read. “I also want to express how troubling it is that what should have been a private moment became public without my consent. I respect artists and entertainers, but I hope we can all think more deeply about the impact of turning someone life into a spectacle.”

“This is not a real statement,” a representative for the company told ABC News.

As for Hard Rock, if anyone was thinking of bringing a secret paramour to the shows, set for both Saturday and Sunday nights, think again.

Like Gillette, this iconic concert hall has eyes.

“All major stadiums have that feature and use it at major sporting events,” a representative told the Miami Herald. “Hard Rock Stadium is no different.”
