The Coldplay concert in Boston took an unexpected turn when the “Kiss Cam” spotlight landed on Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot. Their panicked reaction – she turned away, he ducked – immediately set social media ablaze with affair speculation, amplified by Chris Martin’s cheeky commentary from stage.
Internet sleuths quickly connected the dots: Byron’s glowing 2023 announcement of Cabot’s executive appointment now seems laden with subtext, while public records show Cabot finalized her divorce in 2022. The fallout has been swift – Byron’s wife Megan has scrubbed her social media, and both executives have maintained radio silence as the story gains traction.

The incident has also dredged up past controversies about Byron’s leadership style during his tenure at cybersecurity firm Cybereason, where former employees described a toxic work environment. Whether this viral moment will have professional consequences remains to be seen, but it’s certainly given the tech world plenty to gossip about.
