The “kiss cam” had previously been in the headlines after capturing a tense scene involving a CEO allegedly caught in a cheating incident during another event.
That controversy had drawn massive attention online, making Messi and Antonela’s appearance garnering huge interest.

CEO’s “kiss cam” scandal
During a recent Coldplay show in Massachusetts, the infamous “kiss cam” spotlighted Andy Byron, the then-CEO of tech firm Astronomer, and the company's HR head, Kristin Cabot, locked in a very public display of affection.
As soon as the camera zoomed in, the pair conspicuously hid their faces and turned their backs, a move that only intensified the ensuing online frenzy.
The fallout was swift and severe. Both Byron and Cabot, who are reportedly married to separate partners, were promptly placed on administrative leave by Astronomer. By July 25, 2025, the company's Board of Directors officially confirmed Byron's resignation.
