A viral “Kiss Cam” moment at Coldplay’s Boston concert on July 16, 2025, has drawn attention to Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot. When the camera panned to them, Byron ducked and Cabot turned away, prompting Coldplay’s Chris Martin to joke, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

Social media exploded with speculation. One viewer wrote, “Oh my God that looks like Astronomer CEO Andy Byron AND Astronomer Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot???” Others added, “They’re definitely hiding something.” Users quickly noted Byron is married, questioning, “Where did he tell his wife he was going?”

The incident sparked scrutiny of Byron’s past, especially his time at Cybereason, where former employees described him as “combative,” claiming he “lashed out” and created a toxic workplace. Byron denied the accusations, saying he “disappointed some individuals.”

Cabot’s previous marriage ended in 2022, and it’s unclear if she has remarried. Byron’s wife, Megan, deleted her social media after receiving messages about the video. Byron also deactivated his LinkedIn. Neither Byron nor Cabot has publicly responded, but the scandal continues to dominate online conversations.
