'They’re having an affair or they’re just very shy': Coldplay frontman unknowingly sparks viral moment
(KRON) – A couple caught on camera at a recent Coldplay concert in Massachusetts have become the subject of speculation after they were seen hiding their faces from the venue's jumbotron.
Footage of the awkward moment has since gone viral on social media.
In the video, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin can be heard remarking on the couple, who were seen embracing and swaying to the music on the jumbotron at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
"Oh, look at these two," Martin tells the crowd.
The clip then shows the woman, apparently realizing she's on camera, scrambling to hide her face. The man, too, soon ducks out of view.
"Alright, come on, you're OK," Martin can be heard saying as the pair hastily attempt to vacate the shot.
"Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy," Martin quips, as the crowd roars with laughter.
The seemingly uncomfortable moment has since gone viral on TikTok and X, with one video racking up more than 26 million views since Wednesday night. Commenters and media outlets have also attempted to identify the couple at the center of the controversy — and confirm their marital statuses.
Some internet sleuths currently claim to know who the couple are, but Nexstar has not independently verified the identities of the concertgoers at the center of the viral moment. In any case, commenters on TikTok are naturally quite entertained.
"They made it SO much worse by hiding," one viewer said.
"The camera man just did the partners of these two a huge service!" another added.
Coldplay, which is currently on its "Music of the Spheres" world tour, played at Gillette Stadium on July 15 and 16.
