CEO Caught Cheating on Kiss Cam

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught in an awkward spotlight during a Coldplay concert in Boston when the kiss cam landed on him and Kristin Cabot, the company’s Chief People Officer. As Coldplay frontman Chris Martin encouraged the couple to kiss, Byron ducked and Cabot shielded her face, prompting Martin to joke, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.” That single moment lit up social media with speculation that Byron, who is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, was romantically involved with Cabot.

The footage quickly went viral, with hashtags like #coldplayconcertcouple and #astronomerceo trending. Internet sleuths pointed out that Megan had recently changed her name on Facebook, adding fuel to the fire.

Now, what began as a playful concert moment has snowballed into a PR crisis, with many questioning workplace ethics and leadership conduct at the fast-growing tech firm. Neither Byron, Cabot, nor Astronomer have issued public comments—leaving the internet to keep spinning its own theories.
