At a Coldplay concert, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught on the jumbotron standing closely with Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot. Chris Martin joked, “Look at these two!” Kristin covered her face. Andy ducked. The clip lasted under 15 seconds — but it went viral fast.

Andy’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, saw it too. A respected school leader and mother of two, Megan didn’t post or comment — she simply removed “Byron” from her Facebook name. No bio update, no announcement — just one missing word with a loud message.

Soon after, Megan unfollowed Andy on Instagram, and family photos disappeared. One friend said, “She’s not home right now.” Sources say Megan contacted legal counsel and is “exploring next steps,” though “no one’s using the word divorce.”

Andy apologized the next day, calling it “a deeply personal mistake” and quoting Coldplay: *“Lights will guide you home… and I will try to fix you.”* But for Megan, the damage was done.

Supporters say she’s staying strong: *“She’s done being blindsided.”* Others added, *“Losing your last name is the first step toward getting your life back.”*

He used a lyric. She used silence. The internet is watching how it ends.
