Coldplay's 'kiss cam' has unexpectedly become one of the summer's viral sensations after a recent scandal. A video of Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, getting cozy with his company’s Head of HR made headlines around the world.
No one escapes Coldplay’s 'kiss cam.' Now, another clip from the same camera is gaining popularity, featuring Leo Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo as the stars. The famous couple, loved by fans all over the world, caught Coldplay’s attention this time.
Leo and Antonela had a memorable moment during Coldplay’s concert at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The couple, originally from Rosario, Argentina, showed up on the famous 'kiss cam' and waved to the crowd, who cheered as soon as they saw them on the big screens.
It was during the band’s last concert in the United States that the camera caught the loving couple, who attended the show with their three children—Thiago, 12, Mateo, 9, and Ciro, 7.
As soon as the 'kiss cam' landed on the couple, the crowd of over 60,000 erupted in cheers, celebrating their presence. From the stage, Chris Martin gave a shoutout to Argentina’s number 10.
“Well, Leo." Hello, Leo, my beautiful brother. "You and your wife are wonderful. Thank you for coming to see our band today. The greatest athlete of all time came to see us tonight,” said Chris, as thousands applauded and cheered for 'La Pulga.'
The soccer star and his wife smiled and waved at the camera, clearly in great spirits. Their chemistry was on full display—a bond that’s tied them together since childhood, making theirs one of football’s sweetest and most endearing love stories.
Messi welcomes Rodrigo De Paul
Before attending Chris Martin’s concert, Messi had another big moment over the weekend. He and his teammates gave Rodrigo De Paul an official welcome to Inter Miami. On Friday, July 25, it was announced that the Argentine midfielder, known as 'Motorcito,' would be joining Las Garzas.
Fans at Chase Stadium spotted Antonela and Tini Stoessel closely watching the ceremony.
The cheating scandal exposed by the kiss cam
The spotlight on Messi and Antonela stirred even more buzz after, just days earlier, Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, was caught in Boston with a woman who wasn’t his wife. The woman turned out to be Kristin Cabot, the company’s head of human resources.
When the kiss cam caught them and they realized they’d been exposed, their reaction was hilarious—she turned away and hid her face, while he awkwardly ducked out of sight.
The viral scene sparked thousands of memes, millions of comments, and ultimately led to the breakdown of both their households. On top of that, both have faced professional fallout from the alleged affair.
He was removed from his position, and she resigned from the company. Investigations are now underway to determine the full extent of the affair.
