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

I'm sure he's a lovely man but I find Tim Peak terribly dull. If I were married to him I'd probably have affairs. But I'd also make sure to avoid Coldplay concerts.

i always get the rage when he's touted as the first Briton in space. Totally sidelining Helen Sharman.

Pizzagirly · 18/07/2025 18:21

I had no idea about the agreement to be filmed when you go to concerts.
Fair enough. Good to know.

Aaaah! I've got The Rah Band's Clouds Across the Moon as an ear worm now.

Yep, nothing is accomplished in the media unless a man does it. Always used to drive me mad when pre Andy Murray everyone said the last Brit to win Wimbledon was Fred Perry. Totally airbrushing out Virginia Wade doing it.

Yikes!

I've been reading that they are both separated but not divorced.

Perhaps it's not an affair and they just didn't want their private life splashed about? I know I wouldn't.

Then why react so badly when the camera was on them? Why the big deal??

I mean, a gig with thousands of people is hardly being in a private area, is it?

I read the man's wife deleted her married name off her social media profiles and then deleted her social media.

PicturePuzzle · 19/07/2025 08:15

Perhaps they hadn't told their children? Or the board of his company didn't know..

Maybe the man's wife just didn't want the publicity?

They reacted quite guiltily for sure, made it way worse.

The way they reacted was too OTT.

Possibly the CEO (or both of them) had been telling their partners they were ready to reconcile. That's one scenario.

And presumably neither of their partners had proof of an affair or, if they did know, they didn't who the affair partner was...

Not sure is has been mentioned but apparently they have both been sacked.

Summerartwitch · 19/07/2025 08:38

Karma.

I have no sympathy for people who cheat.

Who will go to the moon now?
They are two down on the team, they will have to start recruiting new astronauts. Everything will be delayed.

Damn Coldplay!

They’ve been put on leave whilst the Board of Directors of Egotistical Astronauts Anonymous Astronomer investigates. Though I should imagine that they will both eventually be fired. Never mind, they’ll have true luuurve and memories of a wonderful Coldplay concert to keep them warm in their old age.

I find myself wondering how someone supposedly that clever, clearly isn't.

Doesn't say much for an education system that gave them prizes does it ?

Best comment I was something along the lines of "His poor wife. Imagine finding out after 20 years of marriage that he likes Coldplay ?". Apologies if it's been made upthread .... there are a lot of posts.

If they had just smiled no one would be any the wiser today.

Do take a look at the Philadelphia Phillies debut to it. It’s glorious!

They were in a VIP box thing so it was highly likely

Then they are even more moronic than I thought

I think they just were so arrogant they assumed they'd never get caught?? Apparently he's worth a billion dollars so would make sense 😂

He was worth a billion dollars ....

Lavenderandbrown · 19/07/2025 18:49

im hoping it’s a billion dollars divided by two

BadDinner · 21/07/2025 12:27

So it was reported he resigned rather than was sacked.

Can someone explain why though? After all it was his personal life and presumably didn't affect his running of the company. CEOs usually aren't down with the workers many of whom would not even have been able to identify him at a push (until now of course) so I cannot see how his behaviour would have directly affected them.

I also cannot see the incident having affected Astronomers client base. It didn't involve anything political or scamming customers etc.

Apparently he's 'only' worth 50million dollars

He had just promoted the woman he was having an affair with.
It doesn’t look good.
