On July 16, during a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium near Boston, Chris Martin unknowingly exposed the secret affair between Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his company's HR chief, Kristin Cabot, both of whom are married to other people. A video from the concert shows the duo getting cosy; moments after the camera panned to them, Andy ducked down, visibly mortified, and the two were seen trying to hide their faces, but it was too late.
Now, Andy's reaction has gone viral, where he was heard saying, "F*cking hell, it's me." As Andy and Cabot were exposed, Martin said, "Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy." The singer later quipped, he 'hope(d) we didn't do something bad…'
After the video went viral, Astronomer CEO Andy Bryon's wife Megan Kerrigan dropped his surname from her Facebook profile.
Andy Byron is the CEO of Astronomer, a Cincinnati-based tech firm, Kristin joined Astronomer as the Chief People Officer in 2024.
The Astronomer CEO's namesake issued a statement, clarifying, 'This is not me.' He wrote, "To, this isn't me. I wouldn't be caught dead at a Coldplay concert… I'm the Andy Byron who makes videos for big screens, not the one who gets caught on them. If you want to make video content that goes viral for the right reasons, let's connect," the Stylo Motion Design exec posted on LinkedIn.
