(NewsNation) — The woman at the center of a viral Coldplay KissCam moment has filed for divorce from her husband, according to media reports

Kristin Cabot was caught being embraced by former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron on camera during a Coldplay concert. When the couple realized they were on the jumboscreen, they ducked out of view and turned away, seeming to be in a panic.

The reaction led singer Chris Martin to joke that they were having an affair and caused the clip to go viral. Viewers on social media began digging for information on the pair’s identities.

At the time of the video, both Cabot and Byron were married to other people and both worked for Astronomer.

Cabot resigned from her role at the company days after Byron stepped down as CEO.

According to NBC News, Cabot filed the petition for divorce in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on Aug. 13. The divorce is ongoing, and court documents show the next court date is a scheduling conference set for Nov. 26.
