A couple caught trying to avoid a kiss cam at a Mexican football match has sparked comparisons to a similar incident at a Coldplay concert. The embarrassed pair, who were featured on the big screen during a Liga MX game between San Luis and Querétaro, made frantic attempts to evade the camera’s gaze.
In the video, the man swiftly turned away from the cameras, while the woman next to him shielded her face with her cap’s visor and gestured “no.” Their actions drew laughter from the crowd, who seemed to encourage the couple after their awkward on-screen moment.
The incident drew parallels to a previous kiss cam episode involving Andy Byron, CEO of tech company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company’s HR head, at a Coldplay show in Boston. The duo, who were seen embracing and looking towards the stage before quickly retreating, garnered widespread attention and speculation about their relationship status.
Following the viral video, both executives resigned from their positions amid the public scrutiny. It was later clarified that Cabot and her former husband had been separated for some time before the incident, with their divorce proceedings already in progress.
While social media users joked about the situation and potential consequences for the kiss cam couple, their identities remain unconfirmed. The incident serves as a reminder of the unexpected attention that public displays of affection can attract in today’s interconnected world.
