During Coldplay’s July 16 show at Gillette Stadium in Boston, a kiss cam sweep changed the tone of the night. As the crowd watched, a couple on the screen quickly recoiled, prompting Chris Martin to joke, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”

Not long after, online users recognized the couple as Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company’s Chief People Officer. Videos capturing their reaction made waves online, especially as both appeared to deliberately avoid the camera.

Reactions flooded social media. One user wrote, “Sorry for the wife but glad they’re being exposed and embarrassed.” Another posted, “This is the Internet’s biggest scandal today. CEO of Astronomer… got caught cheating with his head of HR at a Coldplay concert.” A third added a line from a Coldplay song: “When you try your best but you don’t succeed.”

As the video spread, viewers noted Cabot ducked behind a metal rail while Byron lowered his head. This reaction only intensified online speculation.

Support for the CEO’s wife

The impact didn’t stop there. Megan Kerrigan Byron reportedly received support through Facebook before removing her married name and later deactivating her profile. Byron restricted access to his LinkedIn account. Neither executive has commented. Astronomer, a billion-dollar company, has issued no response.

Adding to speculation, another company employee was reportedly present at the concert. That has led some to wonder whether coworkers were already aware of the situation.
