Concert Clip Sparks Speculation Around Tech Execs’ Personal Lives
A brief moment on the Kiss Cam at a Coldplay concert has stirred online speculation after Astronomer’s CEO, Andy Byron, and Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, were shown in what appeared to be an affectionate embrace. The pair quickly pulled away when they noticed the camera, prompting curiosity from concertgoers and comments from frontman Chris Martin, who jokingly said, “Either they’re having an affair or just very shy.” The moment, intended to be lighthearted, went viral—causing a flurry of online reactions.
Following the video, social media users began digging into the executives’ backgrounds. Andy is reportedly married, while Kristin was previously divorced and has been linked to Andrew Cabot, another business executive. Public records show Kristin and Andrew Cabot sharing an address and attending family events together. Amid renewed interest, Kristin has since deactivated her social media accounts.
Neither Andy nor Kristin has commented publicly on the incident, though the video continues to circulate. Online conversations have shifted from humorous takes to deeper discussions around workplace relationships and professional boundaries. Some viewers noted that Kristin’s 2023 executive appointment was announced with high praise from Andy, a detail now being viewed through a different lens.
As online attention intensifies, both executives remain employed at Astronomer. The situation has sparked broader conversations about privacy, professionalism, and how quickly public perception can shift in the age of viral moments. Whether the speculation holds weight or not, the incident highlights how even a few seconds on camera can have unexpected ripple effects.

Astronomer HR chief Kristin Cabot was photographed wearing a wedding ring and posing alongside her alleged CEO husband in newly resurfaced pics.
The images have begun making the rounds online after the tech exec was caught allegedly cheating with her boss, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, at a Coldplay concert earlier this week.
A Facebook post believed to be taken in May 2024 showed Cabot flashing a big smile and flaunting a massive ring, as she stood alongside Privateer Rum owner Andrew Cabot and two young kids.
Andrew was also seen sporting a wedding band on his left ring finger in a second photo shared by a relative on the social media platform, per The Post.

Page Six has been unable to independently confirm that Kristin is married to the liquor brand CEO.
However, property records obtained by The Post show she and Andrew have been listed as co-residents at a Rye, New Hampshire, address since 2023.
They also recently purchased together a $2.2 million two-story, four-bedroom home in the state just five months ago.

Kristin is also listed as an “advisory board member” at Andrew’s company, Privateer Rum, since September 2020, according to her LinkedIn account, which has since been deleted.
Public interest in Kristin’s marital status came to ahead following her viral video with Byron.
The two set the internet ablaze after they were seen canoodling at the band’s Boston-area concert Wednesday night, but quickly hid, hinting that they were up to no good.
According to the now-viral TikTok video, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin called out the pair in front of the audience. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” he quipped.
