Woman in Coldplay viral clip is married to a powerful CEO
Kristin Cabot appears to have a taste for powerful men, with confirming that the HR chief is currently married to another CEO – despite being caught canoodling with her boss. 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 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 daughter's 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 $2.2 million 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 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.'

Astronomer HR chief caught canoodling at Coldplay concert appears to be married to Privateer Rum's CEO
Astronomer HR chief Kristin Cabot, who was seemingly caught cheating with the company CEO Andy Byron earlier this week, appears to be married to the CEO of Privateer Rum, a Massachusetts-based liquor brand. According to property records obtained by the New York Post, Cabot has shared a Rye, New Hampshire, address with Andrew Cabot since at least 2023. Andrew holds the title of CEO and COO of the company, per its website. The official records also show Andrew and Kristin are the co-owners of a $US2.2 million ($A3.37 million) two-storey, four-bedroom New Englander-style house that sits near the Atlantic coast, which they purchased in February. Though, while they share a name and are listed as cohabitants of a home, it remains unclear as to whether the pair are officially married. In addition, Kristin was also listed as an 'advisory board member' at Privateer Rum since September 2020, according to her LinkedIn account, which has since been deleted. Page Six has reached out to a contact for Kristin and Andrew but did not immediately receive a response. As previously reported, Kristin was once married to Kenneth Thornby. Massachusetts court records obtained by the outlet showed the tech head, 52 — who previously bragged she 'wins the trust of CEOs' — separated from her ex-husband in 2018 and their marriage was legally over by 2022. Kristin's marriage became a hot topic after she and the Astronomer CEO were seen looking cozy while attending a Coldplay concert on Wednesday night. Video taken at the show, which has since gone viral online, showed Byron with his arms wrapped around Kristin as they were caught on the concert's 'kiss cam' jumbotron. The pair then quickly reacted to the moment with horrified panic and ducked out of the camera's view, prompting the band's frontman, Chris Martin, to speculate 'either they're having an affair or they're just very shy'. Byron is currently married to wife Megan Kerrigan Byron. By Thursday morning, the CEO's spouse had removed her surname from her accounts before she deactivated her social media accounts after the viral moment set the internet ablaze the night before. In light of the incident, both employees were 'immediately' put on leave, according to a Friday report by Axios. The company also announced in an official statement Friday that a formal investigation had been launched into the matter. '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,' the company said via LinkedIn. 'The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.'
