Cabot, 52, was married to Andrew, a sixth-generation heir to the Privateer Rum fortune, at the time of the painful Coldplay concert blunder.
The pair had reportedly been on the rocks with the affair seen around the world being the final straw.
Less than a month after, Kristin filed the divorce petition, according to the Daily Mail.
Paperwork shows papers to dissolve the marriage were handed to a court in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on August 13.
It marks the end of a third marriage for Andrew.
His ex-wife Julia was quick to react to the latest split as she called Andrew a “jerk who had it coming”.
A disgruntled Julia was married to Andrew for four years until they divorced in 2018.
Andrew – described as being a descendant of a “Boston Brahmin” family due to his loved one’s generational wealth – didn’t appear to phased by the Coldplay scandal at the time.
Julia told the Mail: “I texted Andrew right after it happened, and he said ‘her life is nothing to do with me’.”
“He’s a Boston Brahmin, that’s their code: ‘This isn’t anything to do with me.’ His ego is too big to be affected by this and the only thing that he’s bummed about is that he was embarrassed.
“He’s not a nice person. Now something not nice happened to him.”
Andrew’s family lineage stretches back ten generations in New England and includes privateers, industrial titans, and merchant traders who helped shape American aristocracy, according to reports.
The Cabots are one of Boston’s original families – a blue-blooded elite so powerful that even the Kennedy clan was considered too new-money to join their ranks.
The family made its fortune in “carbon black” – soot used in car tires – and held vast holdings in Cabot Corporation.
Their empire has included chemicals, paint, gas, and rum, with Kristin once serving as an “advisory board member” for Privateer.
Andrew had been on a business trip to Japan during the viral embrace and was unaware of why his wife had become a meme overnight.
Footage captured the moment Coldplay frontman Chris Martin accidentally exposed tech tycoon Byron’s affair with Kristin.
Martin noticed the couple’s not-to-subtle reaction to appearing on the jumbotron at a concert in Boston, Massachusetts.

He cheekily joked: “They’re either having an affair… or they’re very shy,” as Kristin hid her face and turned around, while Andrew ducked behind a barrier.
Andy would go on to resigned from his role at Astronomer after “failing to meet company standards”.
Days later, Kristin also stepped away for good,
It is unclear how the Cabot’s divorce will play out or when the details will be finalised almost two months after the incident.
One of the major issues is likely to be around the $2.2 million home they purchased together on the New Hampshire coast in March.
Documents obtained by The US Sun show the couple took out a mammoth loan on the house with Morgan Stanley.
It is believed to have been for a $1.6million mortgage on a fixer upper – with both of their names on the paperwork.
