A viral video appears to show married Astronomer CEO Andy Byron allegedly “having an affair” with Astronomer Human Resources Chief Kristin Cabot during a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium near Boston.
According to Fox News, the video of Byron and Cabot was captured during Coldplay’s concert on Wednesday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The outlet noted that the Astronomer CEO and human resources chief were featured on the “Kiss Cam” jumbotron as Coldplay’s Chris Martin sang an improvised version of “The Jumbotron Song.”
In the viral video shared on X, formerly Twitter, Martin can be heard saying, “Whoa, look at these two,” as the technology CEO was shown on the screen with his hands around Cabot. As Byron and Cabot quickly tried to hide their faces from the camera, Martin said, “Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
In response to the viral video, one social media user wrote, “I hope his wife divorces him and takes him for everything he has.”
Another social media user wrote, “If they had just acted normal, this wouldn’t have gone viral and they wouldn’t have been exposed.” A third social media user tweeted, “If they had just played it cool and carried on like before, no one would’ve batted an eyelid and it definitely wouldn’t have gone viral. But guilty conscience had them panicking, now the whole world knows of their affair.”
According to The New York Post, social media users have reportedly identified Byron’s wife as Megan Kerrigan Byron. The New York Post reported that Megan Kerrigan Byron dropped her husband’s last name on Facebook following the release of Wednesday’s viral video. The outlet also noted that Byron’s Facebook and Instagram accounts were later deleted on Thursday.

The Sun reported that 28-year-old Grace Springer has been identified as the Coldplay fan responsible for recording the viral video of the alleged “affair” between Byron and Cabot.
“I had no idea who the couple was,” Springer told The Sun. “Just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it.”
“A part of me feels bad for turning these people’s lives upside down, but, play stupid games… win stupid prizes,” Springer added. “I hope their partners can heal from this and get a second chance at the happiness they deserve with their future still in front of them. I hope, for them, my video was a blessing in disguise.”
