In the aftermath, reports have emerged suggesting significant changes in the status of Byron’s relationship with Megan Kerrigan, who is widely reported to be his wife. Sources indicate that Kerrigan has removed Byron’s last name from her social media profiles, including her Facebook account, and has since deactivated her account entirely. This move has intensified speculation regarding their marital status, however it has not been confirmed if it had any relation with the incident, though no official confirmation has been made by either party.

Byron himself reportedly took down/disabled his social media and LinkedIn accounts following the viral spread of the video. Meanwhile, the incident drew public and media attention not only for the viral footage but also because it occurred during a highly publicized event at Gillette Stadium in Boston.

Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, reportedly made lighthearted comments about the moment during the concert, adding to the media buzz. However, beyond the online speculation and social media activity, there have been no formal statements or confirmations from Byron, Kerrigan, or Cabot regarding the incident or the current state of their personal or professional relationships.

Given the lack of official comments, many sources urge caution in drawing conclusions, noting that the situation may have been misinterpreted or exaggerated in some respects. The full context and implications remain unclear, and further updates are awaited.

This unfolding situation highlights the intersection of public life and private matters, where viral moments can quickly lead to intense speculation without official clarity.
