THE alleged mistress at the center of the Coldplay kiss cam scandal took out a $1.6million mortgage on a fixer upper she purchased with her husband, The U.S. Sun can reveal.
HR chief Kristin Cabot, caught cuddling with now-former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, is married to another Andrew, a sixth-generation heir to the Privateer Rum fortune.

The Cabots purchased a $2.2 million home on the New Hampshire coast in March and did not buy it in cash.
Documents obtained by The U.S. Sun show the couple took out a mammoth loan on the house with Morgan Stanley, and both of their names are on paperwork for the mortgage.
They are yet to be seen in public since the clip went viral, and it is not known whether or not they have split.
A mortgage could make any divorce messy, as both parties will be responsible for payments, regardless of who lives in the house.
They may need to sell up or have one party refinance to take over the loan.
Research shows a quitclaim deed can also transfer ownership, but it doesn't remove liability from the mortgage.
The lavish four-bed, two-bath residence is described online as being a "classic New England gem" which is ready to be brought back to its former glory.
It is not known if the couple had started spending money on renovations for the property or had hired anyone to make plans for them.
WORK TO BE DONE
The residence is located just two miles from the beach and was sold "as is" as the home "needs rehab."
It sits on 1.42 acres, with fruit trees, berry bushes, and pastoral views.

The property also boasts high ceilings, a wrap-around enclosed porch, a walk-up attic, and a two-car garage.
Andrew's family lineage stretches back ten generations in New England and includes privateers, industrial titans, and merchant traders who helped shape American aristocracy, according to reports.
The Cabots are one of Boston's original "Brahmin" families - 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 tires - 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 appears to be the second marriage for both — Kristin's prior divorce was finalized in 2022, the New York Post reports.
Meanwhile, the former Astronomer CEO, who has now resigned, and his wife, Megan, is also said to be in hiding, according to the Daily Mail.
COLDPLAY'S JOKE
Mom-of-two Megan allegedly fled the couple's main residence in Northborough, Massachusetts, and has been staying at their second home in Kennebunk - more than 100 miles away.
She has reportedly removed several happy family photographs from her Facebook profile and reverted to her maiden name, Kerrigan.
While some found the viral moment funny, other neighbors allegedly slammed Byron's actions as "disgusting."
Neither of the couples has commented on the recent scandal.
Frontman Chris Martin noticed the couple's not-to-subtle reaction to appearing on the jumabatron, but clearly had no idea who they were.
He cheekily joked, "They're either having an affair… or they're very shy," as Krisitin hid her face and turned around, while Andrew ducked behind a barrier.
Martin added, laughing nervously, 'Oh s***, I hope we didn't do something bad."
At the band's following show, the singer cracked a joke with another couple on the kiss cam after the scandal was trending on X, formerly Twitter for more than 24 hours.
Kristin has reportedly been placed on leave, while her boss has been replaced.
Pete DeJoy stepped into the role and said the viral incident has received "a level of media attention that few companies - let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world - ever encounter."
He wrote on LinkedIn, "The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name."
DeJoy added that despite the chaos, the company has "never shied away from challenges" - from the Covid-19 pandemic to navigating financial issues.
He continued, "And yet, we're still here.
"We're here because Astronomer is built by people who live to solve hard problems, stay late to fix what's broken, and care deeply about doing things the right way.
"We're here because our customers trust us with their most ambitious data & AI projects. And, most importantly, we're here because the mission is bigger than any one moment."
Byron had been CEO of Astronomer - valued at over $1.3 billion - since July 2023.
