Astronomer CPO Kristin Cabot Resigns After Attending Coldplay Concert With CEO Andy Byron
"Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer," a spokesperson for Astronomer told Us Weekly on Thursday, July 24. "She has resigned."
Cabot's life changed forever after she attended Coldplay's concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, on July 16. During the show, lead singer Chris Martin took a pause from performing to introduce the venue's kiss cam.
The jumbotron showed Astronomer executives Cabot and Byron embracing each other before they quickly tried to dodge the cameras when they realized they were onscreen.
Astronomer Cofounder Breaks Silence on Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot's Coldplay Kiss Cam Controversy
'Whoa, look at these two. All right, come on. You're OK,' Martin said as the pair tried to hide their faces and escape the camera. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy. I'm not quite sure what to do.'
As the camera panned to other audience members — two individuals dressed in banana costumes — Martin had one final thought about what he had just witnessed during his show.
'Holy s***,' he added. 'I hope we didn't do something bad.'
Hours after the concert moment was caught on camera, footage began going viral on social media. The internet did some digging and discovered Andy is reportedly married — to a woman multiple outlets identified as — not Cabot.
Since the scandal broke, Megan appeared to remove 'Byron' from her Facebook page, according to a screenshot published by Newsweek. She has also deleted her account. Andy resigned from his position as CEO on July 19. Astronomer cofounder Pete DeJoy is now serving as interim CEO.

Us Weekly previously reached out to Astronomer and both executives for comment.
Since November 2024, Cabot has held the title of Astronomer's Chief People Officer. According to the site's website, the tech company aims to empower data teams to bring mission-critical software, analytics and AI to life.

'I prefer to think of my role as people strategy versus traditional human resource,' Cabot said in a press release at the time of her hiring. 'I was energized in my conversations with Andy and the Astronomer leadership team about the opportunities that exist here.'
Andy also expressed his excitement at the company's new hire.
'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. '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.'
