Former astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot spotted getting cozy at Coldplay concert in recently released video
Ex-Astronomer’s former CEO Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot were recently caught engaging in public displays of affection during a Coldplay concert. A video shared by a fan captures the duo being cozy before being caught on the kiss cam. The TikTok user who posted the video humorously captioned it, “POV: Trying to get the best 📸 of Coldplay but you end up getting this viral affair as well 👀🫢.”
Following the revelation of the co-workers’ cheating scandal, Astronomer took action and initiated a formal investigation into Byron and Cabot. Both parties were placed on leave as a result. Eventually, Byron resigned from his position on July 19, and it was later confirmed that Cabot also stepped down from her role within the company. A spokesperson for Astronomer officially announced Cabot’s resignation.
The scandal unfolded when Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, humorously commented on the couple’s behavior during the kiss cam segment at the concert. The camera captured them sharing a moment of affection before they hurriedly retreated upon realizing they were on the jumbotron. Martin quipped, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” prompting laughter from the audience.
The video of the incident quickly went viral, attracting widespread attention. Online investigators were quick to identify Byron and Cabot as the individuals in question. Further digging revealed that they were both married to other people. Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, took precautions by removing her surname from social media and deleting her Facebook profile. Cabot, who had previously divorced Kenneth Thornby, moved on to marry Privateer Rum’s CEO and shared a residence with him in Rye, New Hampshire, since at least 2023.
Amid the scandal, Andy Byron’s neighbors expressed their disapproval of his actions, labeling him as “disgusting.” Although they declined to comment further, they emphasized the family’s right to privacy during this trying time. While Megan has reportedly sought solace in their $2.4 million Maine mansion, where she is undergoing discussions about the state of her marriage.
The public scrutiny surrounding the affair and subsequent fallout shows the impact and consequences of high-profile individuals engaging in inappropriate behavior. The social media outcry, public exposure, and personal ramifications for those involved highlight the complexities of navigating relationships while in the public eye. Byron and Cabot’s newfound notoriety underscores the challenges and repercussions of indiscretions in the digital age.
