Kristin Cabot and husband Andrew’s massive mortgage for their lavish home

Astronomer HR chief Kristin Cabot, who is at the centre of the Coldplay kiss cam drama, took out a $1.6 million mortgage on a fixer-upper she purchased with her husband, according to The U.S. Sun. A social media storm was triggered after Cabot was caught cuddling with now-former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron. She is married to Andrew, a sixth-generation heir to the Privateer Rum fortune.

The documents in possession of The US Sun revealed that the couple bought a $2.2 million home on the New Hampshire coast in March 2025. The Cabots took out a massive loan on the house with Morgan Stanley, and both of their names are on the paperwork for the mortgage.

It is pertinent to mention that the couple is yet to be seen in public since the Coldplay kiss cam clip went viral, and there is no update on whether or not they have split.

How mortgage makes things difficult in case of divorce

If a couple is seeking a divorce, a mortgage could mess up things, as both parties will be responsible for payments, regardless of who lives in the house. The couple, if separated, may need to sell up or have one party refinance to take over the loan. According to research, a quitclaim deed can also transfer ownership, but it doesn't remove liability from the mortgage.

Andrew and Kristin Cabot’s lavish house

The lavish four-bed, two-bath residence is being called a "classic New England gem" online, which is ready to be brought back to its former glory.

It’s unclear if the couple has started spending on renovations or hired anyone to make plans for the property yet. The home, which sits on 1.42 acres just two miles from the beach, was sold “as is” since it “needs rehab” and features fruit trees, berry bushes, and scenic pastoral views. The property also includes high ceilings, a wraparound enclosed porch, a walk-up attic, and a two-car garage.

Andrew and Kristin Cabot’s background and lineage

Andrew's family lineage goes back ten generations in New England and includes privateers, industrial titans, and merchant traders who played an instrumental role in shaping the American aristocracy, according to reports.

The Cabots are one of Boston's original "Brahmin" families. It is a blue-blooded elite so powerful that even the Kennedy clan was considered too new-money to join their ranks. The family made its fortune in "carbon black," soot used in car tyres, and held vast holdings in Cabot Corporation.

Their empire has included chemicals, paint, gas, and rum, with Kristin once serving as an "advisory board member" for Privateer. They have not been seen since the scandal broke when a TikTok clip went viral of Kristin's boss wrapping his arms around her at the concert during a romantic moment on the big screen.

This seems to be the second marriage for both. Kristin’s previous divorce was finalized in 2022, according to the New York Post. Meanwhile , Byron, who has now resigned, and his wife, Megan, are also said to be in hiding, according to media reports.
