You know this Coldplay affair video, why were they still hugging when they knew the kiss cam was out?

It wasn’t like they were the first person that got zoomed in on
guess it shows how complacent they were

at least the partners at home know now and can bin them off

All accounts say Neil Armstrong was very self effacing. He didn't court publicity or anything and he didn't fight to be the very first man on the moon; he was content to do whatever deemed best for the mission. Buzz Aldrin very much wanted to be first but Armstrong was more senior so he was placed at the point in the shuttle where he would exit first. And Michael Collins never left the shuttle at all.

Yeah but Buzz Lightyear was a bit of a Dick

I heard that he’s an astronaut and she’s an astronomer

OOOH like The Montagues and The Capulets?

Aside from their partners why does anyone care? People have affairs all the time.

People kill people all the time too, but we tend to talk about that when it happens

legolegoeverywhereandnotadroptodrink · 18/07/2025 12:52

The poor spouses. And children. How humiliating.

Weekmindedfool · 18/07/2025 12:52

Obviously not an astronaut as they would have those big fish bowl glass helmets on. Also not an astronomer as they all look like Patrick Moore.
Fake news.

I thought the woman beside the woman in the embrace was very weird. It looked like she was laughing at the whole thing. I wonder if she's delighted they were caught out.

I think that would be more a shock reaction, but who knows?

No one gets to be an astronaut without having the most huge ego in the world. It’s what gets them to be an astronaut out of all the other applicants.

It’s ego.

😂😂 they aren’t astronauts.

Hoplolly · 18/07/2025 13:11

They'd have been better not to have reacted, it would never have been shown anywhere then!

DollopOfFun · 18/07/2025 13:13

This is why before I married, I had a strict No Astronauts dating policy.

Sorry Tim Peake, stop your begging, it's nothing personal I just can't deal with the ego.

Fair points. Perhaps that poster meant they're both astrologers. You know, like Mystic Meg but without the ability to foresee what's going to happen.

Yuri Gagarin's wife probably wished she had. Although strictly speaking he was a cosmonaut.

BringYourOwnBullshit · 18/07/2025 13:23

Am I the only one who thinks the whole thing is awful? I mean obviously affairs are wrong but we don't know these people or the ins and outs of their lives OR their mental state. As someone who suffers with extreme anxiety and social awkwardness I would be completely distraught at so much attention. They are private citizens and should be left alone!

Oh that's another point. They were IN THE VIP BOX AND BEING ALL HANDSY whilst kiss cam was rolling. I did not factor that very obvious detail. They're are literally looking for amorous couples likely to kiss!

And you're in the VIP box like a sitting target. That was dumb.

Exactly!! With their other colleague there too, they didn't even try to hide it. If you see the kiss cam SURELY you'd stop what you were doing and wait till it's over 🙄 (I'm glad they didn't though, they deserved to be outed!) they realistically could have just... Stopped for 5 minutes but maybe they were too arrogant? I have no idea!

The video made me feel sick. What a pair of cowards. And I hated that the people with them were laughing. It's humiliating enough for his wife, without knowing that multiple other people were in on the secret.

Yeah the wife being the last to know is such an awful feeling, my friend went through that, her high flying ex having an affair at work and everyone knowing - she said she looks back at the social functions she went to and feels so humiliated that all those people knew he was cheating and they all pretending to be nice to her face.

They are both utter scum and deserve every bit of public vitriol they get.

According to both their linked ins, they have both worked as the same companies for a few years. She got a promotion a couple of weeks ago too🙃

I still can't get over that post on the last thread claiming they could "conceivably sue" for "breach of privacy". At a stadium, one of those famously private places 😄

Could they not potentially sue the account who originally posted it to tiktok where it went viral. That account posted without their permission

3luckystars · 18/07/2025 13:29

I just can’t stop seeing the colour of them, they are like two tomatoes. Chris Martin should have called them out for not using sunscreen.

Maybe they went too near the sun on the rocket ship though. 😁

3luckystars · 18/07/2025 13:29

That’s a disadvantage of the job.

JustMyView13 · 18/07/2025 13:35

Because there was tens of thousands of people there, the odds they’ll zoom on you are slim to none. They’re clearly extremely comfortable in each others company & didn’t give it a second thought. That tells you how long it’s been going on - they didn’t think there was anything to hide.

They were in a VIP box though, more likely to zoom in on them

I don't want to see people getting sacked over their personal life choices, so long as they continue to do their work professionally. Sacking people doesn't help their partners when it comes to the financial settlements and ongoing child/spousal support either.

But it's madness to me to be so open, when the consequences will be so dire - it does show how little some people think about their spouses and children, that they wouldn't even attempt to be a bit discreet about it.

The only upside to this is that neither will be able to gaslight their partners with denials and their partners now know the truth about their own lives.

Look at how most married men come on to their neighbours, wifes friends, the wives of their friends.. their lives could blow up in a second if someone says something. It’s so close to home. But they risk it all for the thought of emptying their balls. Plus ego

Very wise. Except this has nothing to do with anything.
