At a recent Coldplay concert in Boston, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot were caught on the Kiss Cam, sparking rumors of an affair. As the crowd reacted, frontman Chris Martin joked, “Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy,” prompting Kristin to cover her face and Andy to mutter, “f\*\*king hell, it’s me.”
The moment quickly went viral, triggering online investigations. Kristin was previously married to Kenneth Thornby, with whom she has a child, and later married Andrew Cabot, CEO of Privateer Rum. Court and property records confirm she and Andrew have shared a home since 2023. Andrew, a Harvard-educated businessman, has been married multiple times and has two children.
Neither Kristin nor Andy has publicly commented, but their reaction and silence fueled speculation. “Imagine getting caught by Coldplay,” one user quipped, while another added, “That’s gonna be one awkward board meeting.”
Andy’s wife, Megan Carrigan Byron, deactivated her social media after being flooded with messages. One user asked, “I wonder where he told his wife he was going to be?” The scandal continues to trend as more details emerge, with many online showing sympathy for Megan.
