One video posted to TikTok from the show currently has 50.7 million views on the platform and is gaining popularity rapidly. When Byron and Cabot were shown on the screen, he quickly hid while she covered her face.
"Oh look at these two," Marin, 48, can be heard saying in the clip. "All right, come on. You're OK! Oh what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy. I'm not quite sure."
According to Astronomer's LinkedIn page, the tech company "empowers data teams to bring mission-critical analytics, AI, and software to life." They are also "the company behind Astro, the industry-leading DataOps platform powered by Apache Airflow" software.
What To Know
A new video shows that Martin responded to the incident in another kiss-cam moment later on in the show. In a clip posted on X by user @verorev13, Martin appears to address the incident while speaking directly to a separate couple on the crowd cam.
"OK, now listen, are you two a couple? Are you two a legitimate couple?" the singer asked. "Can you—do you understand English? Hablas Español?"
"Can you hear me? My brother, if you can hear me. Can you hear me?" Martin continued, before getting a thumbs-up from the man on-screen. "OK good. All right."
At the time of publication, the clip racked up more than 1.8 million views, 37,000 likes and 97 comments.
