Kristin Cabot: Astronomer HR Chief Resigns More than a Week After Being Caught on Camera Kissing CEO Andy Byron at Coldplay Concert
Astronomer HR boss, Kristin Cabot, resigned from the tech company on Thursday—just over a week after she was caught on camera getting cozy with CEO Andy Byron on a Coldplay concert "kiss cam". "I can confirm that Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer. She has resigned," a rep from the New York firm told The Post. TMZ was first to report her ouster. Byron, who was caught getting intimate with Cabot during a Coldplay concert near Boston last Wednesday, was almost forced to step down from the AI firm over the weekend after the caught-on-camera cheating scandal exposed them and went viral, sparking massive uproar on social media. Paying for Her Mistake Kristin Cabot LinkedIn Cabot had been working as Astronomer's chief people officer — essentially the head of human resources — since November 2024. The cheating duo's workplace affair was exposed when the jumbotron at Gillette Stadium unexpectedly focused on them — causing the snuggling pair to quickly duck and try to cover their faces in a panic. "Oh, what?" Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said with confusion after catching the embarrassing buzzworthy blunder. Kristin Cabot was caught cuddling her boss, Andy Byron' on the Coldplay 'kiss cam' X "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." The snafu grabbed headlines, sparked a flood of memes, and became the punchline of countless jokes, as celebrities and fans around the world began reenacting the cringe-worthy moment at games and across social media. Further footgae showed the secret lovers kissing, hugging, and singing together multiple times before their affair was publicly exposed during the concert. Andy Byron LinkedIn The shadowy pair were also spotted laughing and swaying together, arms linked, to Coldplay's popular track "Yellow." After the viral fiasco, both were quickly put on leave as the company launched a formal probe into the rumored relationship. Caught and Out Neither Byron nor Cabot—both of whom are married to other partners—have publicly addressed the scandalous affair. Cabot is reportedly married to Andrew Cabot, CEO of Privateer Rum. Property records reviewed by The New York Post show the couple purchased a $2.2 million, two-story, four-bedroom New England-style house together in February. Kristin Cabot tried to hide her face the moment she realized that she and her boss Andy Byron were caught on camera X Byron, on the other hand, is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, and the couple has two children. In the wake of the controversy, Astronomer co-founder and Brooklyn native Pete DeJoy was appointed interim CEO over the weekend. He later leaned into the viral moment, using it as a chance to promote the company. "The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team, and while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name," DeJoy, who previously served as the company's chief product officer, said in a LinkedIn post Monday. "The events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies – let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world – ever encounter. At Astronomer we have never shied away from challenges."

Kristin Cabot: HR Chief Caught Cuddling Her CEO Boss at Coldplay Concert Recently Took Out $1.6 Million Mortgage with Her Husband
The HR executive caught on camera cuddling her boss at a Coldplay concert had taken out a massive $1.6 million mortgage with her husband not long before the incident, it has emerged. Kristin Cabot and her husband, Andrew Cabot—an heir to the Cabot family's $15.4 billion fortune—bought a $2.2 million home along the coast of New Hampshire in March this year. However, according to property documents reviewed by The Sun, the affluent couple, listed as husband and wife in state records, did not purchase the "fixer-upper" property outright. Both Kristin and Andrew are reportedly listed on the loan documents for the $1.6 million mortgage secured through Morgan Stanley. Affluent Family's Big Buy Kristin Cabot with her husband, Andrew Cabot Facebook Kristin, 52, and Andrew, 60, had planned to renovate the classic New England-style home, a four-bedroom, two-bath property set on 1.42 acres. The house was sold in its current condition and reportedly "needs rehab," according to the publication. It remains unclear whether the couple has hired contractors or begun any renovation work. Andrew and his elite family are now at the center of a global scandal that erupted unexpectedly after Kristin was seen on a kiss cam getting close to her coworker, Andy Byron, during a Coldplay concert in Boston last week. Kristin Cabot LinkedIn The pair, who quickly turned away when they appeared on the big screen, worked together at the AI company Astronomer. Byron stepped down as CEO last week. He is also married—to Megan—and the couple owns a large estate in Massachusetts. Kristin and Andrew have not made any public appearances since the viral footage of her intimate moment with Byron at the Coldplay concert surfaced. It remains unclear whether the couple has since separated. According to Massachusetts property records from January, Kristin is currently married to Andrew, who is both the CEO and COO of Privateer Rum. Kristin Cabot tried to hide her face the moment she realized that she and her boss Andy Byron were caught on camera X Although the exact date of their marriage is unclear, documents confirm that Kristin—formerly known by her maiden name, Stanek—was married when she sold a $1.8 million home in Watertown, Massachusetts, earlier this year. Strong Bond after Second Marriage Public records also reveal that Andrew has been married at least twice before, in 1993 and again in 2014. He shares two children with his first wife, Maud, who posted a photo on social media last April showing Andrew and Kristin appearing loved up at their daughter's 25th birthday celebration. Kristin Cabot was caught cuddling her boss, Andy Byron' on the Coldplay 'kiss cam' X Kristin was even seen in the photos posing with Andrew's 30-year-old son, Henry, and wearing a wedding ring—though the ring was noticeably absent during her cozy moment with Byron at the concert. Earlier this year, Kristin and Andrew were also listed as "husband and wife" in documents for the purchase of their $2.2 million two-story home in Rye, New Hampshire. Since the property is under lien, the couple may be forced to sell it if they decide to move ahead with a divorce or legal separation. Regardless of who continues living in the home—which features high ceilings, a wraparound porch, a walk-up attic, and a two-car garage—both parties remain liable for mortgage payments. One spouse could potentially buy out the other's share or refinance the loan to assume full ownership. In February, Kristin and Andrew also sold another four-bedroom home for $1.05 million, less than a year after purchasing it in April 2024. Andrew filed for divorce from his second wife, Julie, in 2018, after four years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. He and his first wife, Maud, jointly filed for divorce in 2013 following their separation in 2011. Kristin was also previously married. She filed for divorce from Ken Thornby in 2018, and the process was finalized in 2020. Andrew comes from one of Boston's original Brahmin families—a group of elite, long-established families descended from early English settlers who held great social, political, and cultural influence starting in the 18th century. Andrew touts his family lineage on the Privateer Rum website, highlighting that he is a sixth-generation descendant of the company's original founder, also named Andrew Cabot—whom he appears to be named after. Andy Byron LinkedIn Over the centuries, the family built a vast fortune—now estimated at $15.4 billion—and held an elite, almost untouchable status in Boston's social circles, until John F. Kennedy's rise in politics challenged that dominance. In 1952, JFK notably defeated Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. in a U.S. Senate race, a turning point that helped elevate the Kennedy family to national prominence. Andrew Cabot has two children from his first marriage to Maud, who posted a photo on social media in April last year showing Andrew and Kristin looking affectionate at their daughter's 25th birthday celebration.

Who is Andrew Cabot? Privateer Rum CEO tied to Astronomer HR chief Kristin Cabot amid Coldplay scandal
Astronomer's HR chief Kristin Cabot, who appeared alongside CEO Andy Byron in a now-viral kiss cam video from a Coldplay concert, appears to be married to Andrew Cabot, the CEO of Massachusetts-based Privateer Rum, according to property records and company listings.

These revelations add new context to the Coldplay concert controversy, where the kiss cam footage of Cabot and Byron sparked public speculation, internal scrutiny, and ultimately resulted in both executives being placed on administrative leave.
