A viral moment at Coldplay’s Boston concert has unexpectedly thrust Astronomer CEO Andy Byron into the spotlight, igniting online speculation about a possible office affair and triggering scrutiny over his past professional conduct.<\/p>\n

\n

Coldplay’s Boston concert appears to have exposed a high-profile tech executive and his rumored mistress after their unusual reaction to the show’s “Kiss Cam” segment caught the audience’s attention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When the camera panned to the pair, the man ducked down to hide, while the woman turned her face away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The man was later identified as Andy Byron, CEO of the data orchestration company Astronomer. The woman with him \u2014 seen in his embrace \u2014 was Kristin Cabot, Astronomer’s Chief People Officer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\n

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin addressed the moment with humor,\u00a0telling the crowd,\u00a0“Uh-oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Chris Martin doing Gods work, [sic]”<\/i>\u00a0a netizen\u00a0quipped\u00a0in praise of the frontman’s unscripted remark.\u00a0“Imagine getting caught by Coldplay,”<\/i>\u00a0another\u00a0added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\"Kristin<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Social media users echoed Chris Martin’s lighthearted but suggestive comment since the video went viral.\u00a0“HES having an affair\u2026 [sic],”<\/i>\u00a0one person\u00a0wrote.\u00a0“They’re definitely hiding something, that’s for sure,”<\/i>\u00a0added\u00a0another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One user claimed to recognize the pair immediately,\u00a0posting,\u00a0“Oh my God that looks like Astronomer CEO Andy Byron AND Astronomer Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot??? Oh that\u2019s gonna be one awkward board meeting, if not a couple of divorces too. [sic]”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Once it was confirmed that Byron is a married man, another user\u00a0questioned,\u00a0“I wonder where he told his wife he was going to be?”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

\n

As footage of the moment quickly went viral, internet sleuths and social media users began investigating the duo, reigniting public interest in Byron’s 2023 press release about Cabot’s executive appointment. In the statement, he\u00a0said:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Kristin’s exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory. She is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now, those remarks are resurfacing in a very different light. Online commentary on their rumored affair has ranged from humorous to incredulous.\u00a0“This cheating scandal is the gift that keeps on giving… for the lawyers, that is! Their spouses should be thanking the tabloids right about now \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02,”<\/i>\u00a0one user\u00a0wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Others quickly noticed that the scandal may not be one-sided.\u00a0“It looks like she also has a wedding ring on here?”<\/i>\u00a0an eagle-eyed viewer\u00a0noted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, Massachusetts court records reveal that Cabot and her ex-husband, Kenneth Thornby,\u00a0filed for divorce in 2018 and finalized it in 2022. It is unclear whether she has since remarried, though records show the former couple shares at least one child, as Thornby was ordered to pay child support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As suspicions swirled, many zeroed in on Byron\u2019s marriage. His wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, initially removed the name Byron from her Facebook profile before eventually\u00a0deactivating the account\u00a0altogether. Her\u00a0Instagram profile\u00a0has also been taken down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Megan reportedly\u00a0acted swiftly\u00a0after her social accounts were flooded with comments referencing the viral video of her husband and his HR executive at the concert. Ultimately, netizens let Megan know that they were\u00a0on her side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Meanwhile, Byron has\u00a0deactivated his LinkedIn\u00a0page.\u00a0“I know the company is going crazy today,”<\/i>\u00a0someone\u00a0commented.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While Byron’s online profiles have vanished, Cabot’s remains publicly visible. Her professional bio\u00a0reads, “An influential leader and fearless change-agent, I lead by example and win trust with employees of all levels, from CEOs to managers to assistants.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As the alleged affair garners public attention, scrutiny has returned to Byron’s\u00a0professional track record, particularly during his time at cybersecurity firm Cybereason.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

According to an expos\u00e9 published by The Information in April 2018, titled “Fake Hire, Staff Departures Roil SoftBank-Backed Security Startup,” Byron was characterized by former employees as\u00a0combative and toxic\u00a0in leadership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Multiple former employees said Mr. Byron would lash out against employees who disagreed with him, including threatening to fire them,” the article\u00a0noted. “You couldn’t challenge him,” one former employee said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Byron served as Cybereason’s chief revenue officer starting in 2017 and worked there for over two years, according to his now-deactivated LinkedIn account. During that time, his management style allegedly drove many employees to quit. In response, he reportedly hired loyal sales staff from his former company, Fuze.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

“We started off in the right direction and were very successful,”\u00a0said\u00a0one former team member, “but [with] the pressure to grow employees and revenue, it was never enough to just say we were a fast-growing company. We had to be the fastest-growing.” The employee described the environment as “sad.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another worker still employed at Cybereason at the time of the article’s publication\u00a0remarked, “People loved the company. Now they hate it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Byron\u00a0denied allegations of abusive behavior, stating that his decisions had simply disappointed some individuals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Neither Byron nor Cabot has spoken out on the matter yet, and Byron’s wife has chosen to stay silent, as made clear by her decision to deactivate her social media pages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
