The Kiss Cam quickly found them in the crowd, and for a moment, the Messis played along perfectly. The Argentinian star put his arm around Antonela's waist, smiled broadly, and waved to the concertgoers.

Lionel Messi Handled Kiss Cam Moment With Maturity

The only thing missing was the kiss. But the audience didn't seem to mind. Spectators started chanting "Messi! Messi! Messi!", and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin greeted them with thunderous applause and a short speech: "My beautiful brother. You and your wife look amazing. Thank you for coming to see our band play tonight. The number one athlete of all time!"

While Messi handled the Kiss Cam spotlight with grace, the same couldn't be said for Andy Byron, 50, the former CEO of tech company Astronomer. At another Coldplay concert, this time in Massachusetts, he was caught on camera embracing Kristin Cabot, 52, his company's HR manager.

It wasn't his smile that caught attention, but his shocked expression. He ducked his head, and Kristin, who wasn't his wife but his mistress, covered his face. Chris Martin reacted quickly: "They're either having an affair, or they're very shy."

The video went viral, and Byron was left by his wife and resigned as CEO. Cabot, the HR manager, also lost her job a few days later.

Messi and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, have known each other since childhood. They married in 2017 and have three sons, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro, all of whom are passionate about soccer. Earlier this year, Thiago, 12, scored no fewer than 11 goals in a match where Inter Miami U13 won 12-0 against Atlanta U13.
