Astronomer CEO Andy Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, deleted her Facebook account after a viral video showed her husband getting cozy with a colleague at a Coldplay concert.
Before removing her account, Megan had already taken her surname off her profile. Her page, once filled with family photos, was soon flooded with comments about Byron’s alleged behavior.
The video, posted on TikTok, shows Byron at a Coldplay concert in Boston with Kristin Cabot, Astronomer’s Chief HR Officer. The two are seen swaying with arms around each other. As the “kiss cam” scanned the crowd, frontman Chris Martin joked, “Look at these two… either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” drawing gasps from the audience.
The clip quickly went viral, sparking online speculation and public scrutiny. In response, Megan deactivated her social media.
Byron and Cabot both work at Astronomer, a \$1.2 billion AI and data company. Neither has issued a public statement.
