Andy Byron, the CEO of Astronomer, was engulfed in a social media firestorm in July 2025 after attending a Coldplay concert. At some point during the show, the kiss cam panned over to Andy and his company’s chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, who were locked in what appeared to be a romantic embrace. Upon seeing their faces on the Jumbotron, Kristin and Andy immediately separated, and the entire stadium reacted to their visible embarrassment. Shortly thereafter, internet sleuths discovered that Andy was a married man, and affair allegations quickly circulated. Meanwhile, Kristin is reportedly divorced from her former husband.

Adding more fuel to the fire, though unintentionally, Coldplay singer Chris Martin noticed Andy and Kristin’s reaction to the kiss cam and said, “All right, come on, you’re OK. Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

Chris later added, “Oh s**t, I hope we didn’t do something bad.”
