Andy Byron’s wife deletes Facebook page after Chris Martin exposes Astronomer CEO’s affair with co-worker Kristin Cabot at Coldplay concert

A flurry of memes have taken over the internet after Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot were caught cuddling at the Boston Coldplay concert’s kiss cam.

The band’s front man, Chris Martin, was interacting with the audience at the band's Music of the Spheres World Tour in Boston's Gillette Stadium, when the cameras suddenly caught the two being affectionate. 

Byron was seen cuddling with the the company’s Chief People officer in the footage that has now gone viral.  

Martin reacted to the couple saying, “Oh, look at these two.”    

As soon as the two realised they were on the cam, Byron decided to hide himself and Cabot covered her face with her hands, prompting Martin to say “either they're having an affair or they're very shy." The crowd erupted with laughter, and Martin said, “ I hope we didn't do something bad” 

Another Astronomer employee who was standing next to the couple showed second-hand embarrassment, hiding the side of her face. The internet was quick to find out that the woman had only gotten a promotion at the company last week, and that the post congratulating her was made by Cabot.                            

The internet reactions have ranged from memes to concern. The video of the incident has been spreading online with posts racking up views in the millions.

According to reports, Byron is married and Cabot is divorced.  Byron has disabled his comments on his LinkedIn profile, and his spouse, Megan Kerrigan, has removed her last name from her Facebook account.

Cabot had joined Astronomer in November 2024 and described it as exciting. In a now-deleted LinkedIn post, Byron had said that "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."  

                                          

                                                

 The ‘lore’ behind the couple's affair has become fodder for endless laughs and entertainment on social media. Many on social media thanked Chris Martin and the band for providing free entertainment and for exposing the infidelity.

Others showed scepticism, asking how a software development had become a household name overnight and questioned whether the scene was a marketing ploy.

                                                

Chris Martin, however, had fun for the rest of the night by jokingly asking every other couple on the camera if they were legitimate.
