Andy Byron, CEO of AI company Astronomer, is facing backlash after being caught in an intimate moment with coworker Kristin Cabot during a Coldplay concert. The “kiss cam” showed Byron hugging Cabot from behind, unaware it was being broadcast on the big screen.
Coldplay’s Chris Martin pointed them out, prompting Byron to duck behind a barrier while Cabot covered her face. The clip quickly went viral, sparking rumors of an affair—especially since Byron is married.
Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, Associate Director at the Bancroft School, reportedly removed his last name from her Facebook profile after the incident. The couple lives in New York with their two children.
The scandal has deeply affected Byron’s personal and professional reputation. “What was meant to be a lighthearted moment on a kiss cam” ended up exposing a potential affair and causing public embarrassment.
The situation has shaken the foundations of both Byron and Cabot’s careers, with the fallout continuing to unfold.
