Astronomer CEO, Andy Byron, found himself in rough waters after he was caught snuggling with his HR head, Kristin Cabot, at a Colplay concert in Boston on July 16, 2025. The duo, hiding their faces from the camera, sent the internet into a frenzy about their alleged affair. For the unversed, Andy is already married to Megan Kerrigan, with whom he also shares two children. While the trio has not issued any statements so far, it was Chris Martin who was seen hilariously checking whether the couples at the concert were having an affair.
