EXCLUSIVE Woman at center of Coldplay concert cuddling video is married to another powerful CEO
Cabot was caught in a moment of intimacy during a Coldplay concert in Boston with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron.
The 52-year-old is the Head of People at the company, and the pair tried to hide when the kiss-cam panned to them at Boston's Gillette Stadium on Tuesday night.
Speculation has been rife as to whether the couple were in fact desperate to hide from their spouses.
The band's frontman Chris Martin did them no favors, joking to the packed stadium of fans: 'They're either having an affair... or are very shy.'
But DailyMail.com can confirm that Cabot in fact is currently married, and picture her with her CEO husband for the first time.
Massachusetts property documents dated in January confirmed that Cabot is currently married to Andrew Cabot, the chief executive of Privateer Rum, a Massachusetts-based booze maker.
It is unclear exactly when the pair tied the knot, but the documents confirm that Kristin, whose maiden name is Stanek, was married at the time of selling a $1.8m property in Watertown, Mass, earlier this year.
Privateer Rum's website lists Andrew Cabot as its CEO and COO of the company, and public documents show that he has been married at least twice before, in 1993 and 2014.
He shares two children with his first wife Maud, who shared a picture of her ex-husband with Kristin looking loved up at his daughters 25th birthday party on social media in April of last year.
Kristin even posed with his son Henry, 30, in the snaps, and was seen wearing a wedding ring at the event - which was missing during her cozy Coldplay date with Byron.
The couple are also referred to as 'husband and wife' in New Hampshire property records, buying a $2.2million two-story, four-bedroom New Englander-style house in Rye, in February.
They sold another four-bedroom property nearby for $1.05m in February, after purchasing it in April of last year.
Kristin's now-deleted LinkedIn account showed that she has served as an 'advisory board member' at Privateer Rum since September 2020.
Cabot filed for divorce from his second wife Julie in 2018, after marrying in 2014, citing irreconcilable differences. Both he and his first wife Maud filed for divorce jointly in 2013, after separating in 2011.
Kristin has been married once before, filing for divorce from Ken Thornby in 2018, which was finalized in 2020.
Byron is also married, with his wife Megan Byron, removing his last name from her social media accounts shortly after the exchange with Chris Martin went viral.
Kristin, Cabot and Byron have not responded immediately to a request for comment by DAilyMail.com.
It comes after AI-tech start-up Astronomer said they have launched a formal investigation into the moment of intimacy.
'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,' they said in a statement.
'The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.'
It remains unclear how much - if anything - Astronomer knew of their closeness. The company has not clarified whether the pair still have jobs, or if they'll be placed on leave.
Byron's firm is valued at over $1 billion, with the company experiencing rapid growth since he became CEO in 2023.
That year, Astronomer reported a 292% growth in revenue for its 'Astro' platform.
Just a week before his unfortunate viral fame, Byron appeared on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) TV to celebrate the company after it raised $93 million in its Series D round of financing.
A beaming Byron described the investment as 'a huge opportunity' and 'very exciting' for the firm.
When Cabot joined the firm as HR boss in November 2024, Byron heaped praise on her, saying she would be a 'perfect fit' at his company.
'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,' he said in a press release at the time.
'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.'

Travis Kelce goes for solemn drive in LA while Taylor Swift helps her dad recover from shock heart surgery
Travis Kelce was pictured going for an evening drive around Los Angeles on Friday night while girlfriend Taylor Swift continued to help her father after his major heart surgery. Scott Swift, 73, is on the road to recovery after undergoing a quintuple bypass on his heart over a month ago after a doctor noticed something during a routine checkup. 'The doctor found something and everything happened so fast. But they took care of it,' an insider told the Daily Mail. 'Taylor has been so concerned with her mother's health struggles over the years that her focus was really only on her. Her dad was always in great shape.' Andrea Swift, 67, has weathered both brain and breast tumors. The Daily Mail learned on Thursday that, as the singer and her family rushed to Scott's bedside, it was Kelce who 'went into total caregiver mode'. Pictures showed the Kansas City Chiefs star driving around Los Angeles on Friday. It was unclear where he was going but he has been extremely present during Scott's health crisis. Whether it's been ordering takeout meals for Taylor - 'making sure she was eating' - or checking in personally on Scott following his surgery, it is understood that NFL star has really risen to the occasion. 'This was their first crisis together and Travis was doing everything right. If Taylor wasn't ready to marry him before, she sure is now. They were in love before, but now it seems unbreakable,' our insider said. And perhaps in the biggest show yet of that 'unbreakable' bond, it can also be revealed that Travis received a much-coveted phone notification... he was added to the Swift family group chat! Thankfully, the dad of two has made a speedy recovery, and a source close to Taylor has since told Daily Mail that Scott's recovery has so far been 'fantastic.' Throughout his recovery from surgery, both Swift, and her younger brother, Austin, were by his side during the scary time. Andrea, who he has been married to for 37 years, was also there to support him. Swift's rep told the outlet that his bypass surgery was not the result of a heart attack. The surgery is quite a major one, as it requires doctors to restore blood flow to certain areas of the heart. Swift has always been close to her parents, especially her father, as he's often seen at her concerts and even at football games to support her Kelce. The health scare comes at a bad time for Kelce, who is due to report for the Chiefs' training camp on Tuesday. Travis and the Chiefs begin their annual training camp in St Joseph, Missouri on July 22 and finish on August 13. They also have three pre-season games in the schedule against the Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears. Travis and brother Jason also announced this week there will be no new episodes of their smash-hit podcast 'New Heights' for the foreseeable future. Jason may be retired from the NFL but his younger brother is still active and will be unable to record while at training camp. As a result, the brothers will not be releasing new episodes of the show - which has 2.5 million subscribers on YouTube - for quite some time. In fact, a specific return date is yet to be confirmed by the duo as they prepare to turn their microphones off after next week's episode, which will be released on July 23. There are some pre-recorded interviews with special guests to come but there will be nothing new from the famous brothers. 'We have come to the end of the road,' Jason announced during this week's show.

Tech company boss quits after controversy over Coldplay concert video
Andy Byron resigned from his job as CEO of Astronomer, according to a statement posted on LinkedIn by the company on Saturday. 'Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the company said. The move comes a day after the company said that Mr Byron had been placed on leave and the board of directors had launched a formal investigation into the incident, which went viral. A short video clip from Coldplay's concert on Wednesday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, showed a man and a woman cuddling and smiling, his arms wrapped around her, as she leaned back into him. When they saw themselves on the big screen, her jaw dropped, her hands flew to her face and she spun away from the camera. He ducked out of the frame, as did she. Lead singer Chris Martin had asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his Jumbotron Song, when he sings a few lines about the people the camera lands on. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' he joked. Internet sleuths identified the man as the chief executive officer of a US-based company and the woman as its chief people officer. Pete DeJoy, Astronomer's co-founder and chief product officer, has been tapped as interim CEO while the company conducts a search for Mr Byron's successor.
