The video, which now has over 55 million views on TikTok, shows Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin providing a play-by-play to the audience of the pair's reactions to being spotlighted on the Jumbotron.

\"Oh, look at these two. Alright, come on, you're OK. Uh oh, what?\" Martin can be heard saying as the two hide their faces. \"Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy. I'm not quite sure.\"

The video quickly became a topic for internet sleuths who tried to identify the man and woman in the video, neither of whom have identified themselves publicly.

Astronomer named its CEO, Byron, in its statement Friday, noting that reports Byron had issued a statement about the incident were false.

\"Andy Byron has not put out any statement, reports saying otherwise are all incorrect,\" the company said.

The company also said that no other Astronomer employees were in the \"kiss cam\" video.
