The official remarks come after Astronomer insisted that a statement circulating online was fake.
The scandal has garnered massive media attention after Byron and Cabot — the company’s chief people officer — were caught embracing at the show at Gillette Stadium near Boston Wednesday.
According to The Post, the pair works together at the data-based and AI company — which is said to have been valued at $1.2 billion.
Footage showed the duo turning around and ducking down in horror as they were shown on Coldplay’s “kiss cam.”

“Look at these two,” the band’s frontman, Chris Martin, 48, said as the crowd reacted with giggles and gasps.
“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
Byron’s wife quickly deleted her Facebook page as the video spread across social media Thursday.
