Astronomer's chief executive Andy Byron was caught canoodling with his head of human resources Kristin Cabot at a gig last week
It comes days after the kiss scam scandal involving married Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot.
Their ducking reaction to being filmed at Boston's gig has caught the world's attention - with millions now talking about an alleged affair.
And while many might seize the opportunity for a public smooch, Messi seemed to go bright red given the circumstances.
Footage circulating on social media showed the Inter Miami star smiling sheepishly, while Antonela, ever graceful, beamed beside him.

With everyone in the crowd cheering "Messi", the couple waved to fans before Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin serenaded them.
Martin, who had jokingly called out Byron and Caobt's potential 'affair' during his performance last week, thanked Messi for coming and called him "the No1 sports person of all-time".
And it didn't take long for fans online to see the funny side.
One wrote: "They should have tried to hide for a second. That would be hilarious."

Although not spotted in the viral clip, Antonela later posted snaps of the couple's three sons enjoying the show at the Hard Rock Stadium.
Thiago, 12, was pictured wearing a Coldplay cap, while Mateo, nine, wore a snazzy pair of 3D glasses as Ciro, six, cuddled into his dad.
Meanwhile, Messi was serving a one-match suspension for Inter Miami's game against FC Cincinnati on Saturday.
The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner and fellow Barcelona legend Jordi Alba were punished for skipping Major League Soccer's All-Star game earlier this week.
Both players missed Wednesday's match in Austin, Texas where the MLS squad posted a 3-1 win against Mexico's Liga MX All-Stars.
Elsewhere, Humiliated Byron and Cabot quit their jobs at the tech company as a result of the scandal.
And Martin's ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow was hired by Astronomer for a tongue-in-cheek video, in what fans are describing as a genius PR move.

Emma Raducanu crashes out in straight sets in Montreal
Raducanu had won both of their previous meetings, but rarely looked like extending that run as she held her serve just once in either set. Wimbledon finalist Anisimova came from 40-15 down to break Raducanu's serve in the second game of the match and, although the British number one broke back immediately, she was unable to fashion another break point in the contest. Amanda Anisimova hits a return to Emma Raducanu (Christinne Muschi/The Canadian Press/AP) Anisimova broke again to make it 3-1 and added a third break to wrap up the set. Her dominance continued in the second set as Raducanu won just eight points on her own serve, avoiding the whitewash after losing the first five games before Anisimova served out for a place in the fourth round. She will face 10th seed Elina Svitolina or Anna Kalinskaya in the last 16. Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek needed little more than an hour to complete a 6-2 6-2 victory over Germany's Eva Lys, but Jessica Pegula's bid for a third straight Montreal title was ended by world number 386 Anastasija Sevastova. The Latvian, a former world number 11 who has had lengthy spells out on maternity leave and with a torn ACL, beat the third seed 3-6 6-4 6-1.
