Coldplay accidentally exposes tech CEO's alleged affair on concert Jumbotron
A 'Kiss Cam' moment gone wrong has got the internet swirling with rumors of infidelity involving two tech executives, and Coldplay is responsible. Andy Byron, CEO of data orchestration platform Astronomer, and the company's chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot, were shown on the Jumbotron canoodling at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. during the English rock band's concert on Wednesday, July 16. Both of them are reportedly married to other people. A clip from the concert, shared to TikTok by @instaagrace, catches Byron embracing Cabot until they notice the camera spotlighting them. The two then immediately recoil, with Byron ducking down out of frame while Cabot covers her face and turns the other direction. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Coldplay frontman Chris Martin quipped onstage during the awkward moment. The video has received more than 3 million likes since it was posted on Wednesday, July 16, and has been widely reshared across other social media platforms. Byron has served as CEO of New York-based Astronomer, which has offices in San Jose and San Francisco, since 2023. He has two children with his wife, educator Megan Kerrigan Byron, who reportedly removed her husband's last name from her Facebook profile before deleting her account altogether following the incident. Cabot, who is married to Ken Thornby, president of trucking company Middie Back Inc, joined the company at the end of last year. Independent film distributor Neon memeified the moment to promote Palo Alto native Dave Franco and his wife Alison Brie's upcoming body horror film 'Together,' which has been embroiled in controversy of its own since June. 'The perfect date night movie,' Neon shared to X, along with a photo of Byron and Cabot wrapped in each other's arms before noticing that they were on the Jumbotron. Others in the comment section of the original TikTok video pointed out other members of the Astronomer team in the background, who seemed to already be aware of the affair. Meanwhile, Martin has attracted his share of public scrutiny regarding his recent split from ' Materialists ' actor Dakota Johnson. The two had been dating for nearly eight years. Wednesday's concert was the second of Coldplay's two back-to-back nights at Gillette Stadium, as part of its 'Music of the Spheres' tour. The band previously performed at Stanford Stadium for two sold-out shows on May 31 and June 1.
