A tech CEO’s night out at a Coldplay concert took an awkward turn when he and a coworker were caught on the Jumbotron in an intimate embrace—sparking rumors of an affair.
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his company’s Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, were spotted cuddling during Coldplay’s Boston show. When the camera zoomed in on them for the "kiss cam," frontman Chris Martin quipped, “Oh, look at these two.”
The pair panicked—Byron quickly pulled away, while Cabot hid her face before both bolted from their seats. Martin joked,“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
The clip, shared widely on TikTok, fueled speculation:
Byron has led Astronomer, a data orchestration platform, since 2023. Cabot joined nine months ago—and reportedly removed her second surname from social media shortly after the incident.
Neither has publicly addressed the allegations. Would this affect their careers? Stay tuned.
