During the concert, Byron was visibly shocked when he and Cabot suddenly appeared on the ‘kiss cam.’ Upon realizing they were caught on camera, Byron was heard exclaiming, “F–king hell, it’s me,” while Cabot remarked, “This is awkward.” The two quickly hid their faces and rushed away from the lens, further fueling rumors of an affair.
Both Byron and Cabot are married to other people, leading to increased scrutiny of their relationship. Despite the swirling controversy, neither has issued a public statement to clarify the situation.
