Jason Taylor and the woman in jumbotron footage shared by @PolymarketBlitz on X.
A kiss cam moment featuring Miami Dolphins legend Jason Taylor has blown up online and fans are joking he just got “Coldplayed.” During Monday Night Football between the New York Jets and Dolphins, cameras panned to Taylor in a VIP box at Hard Rock Stadium. Sitting with a woman on his lap, the retired defensive end looked caught off guard when she suddenly slid off just as the audience cam found them. Taylor’s awkward reaction lit up social media within minutes.
“Did Jason Taylor just get Coldplayed? He tossed that girl as soon as the camera came on him lol,” one user quipped on X, referencing the infamous viral moment at a Coldplay concert when Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught in a cosy embrace with his then-HR head Kristin Cabot.
Fans flooded timelines with memes and jokes comparing Taylor’s stumble to that now-iconic “Coldplaygate scandal.” But the reality behind the viral clip turned out far less scandalous. The woman with Taylor was, in fact, his wife.
Who Is Jason Taylor’s Wife?
The mystery woman sparking all the online chatter is no stranger to Dolphins fans. Jason Taylor’s wife, Monica Taylor, is a former Miami Dolphins cheerleader turned entrepreneur, designer, and philanthropist. From 2013 to 2017, Monica was a fixture on the Dolphins’ sidelines as part of the cheer squad, which is how she first crossed paths with the Hall of Fame defensive end. The pair tied the knot on August 18, 2020, after a year-long engagement, and they share a son together.
Once the viral “Coldplay moment” clip hit social media, plenty of fans were quick to jump in and set the record straight.
A netizen responded to the viral video saying, “that’s his wife you fools.”
“Was that Jason Taylor’s wife sitting on his lap, or did we just get a Coldplay moment on MNF? lol.” said another.
Another replied, “Absolutely his wife, don’t slander a great like that.”
