A footage from Coldplay’s concert in Boston went viral after the kiss cam at Gillette Stadium caught Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, sharing a cosy moment with Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot.
The clip, taken during Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour, shows Byron with his arm around Cabot. The camera then zooms in, prompting frontman Chris Martin to joke: ‘Oh, look at these two! Either there is an affair going on or they are very shy.’
Byron, aged 50, quickly hid behind a barrier, while a visibly embarrassed Cabot, aged 56, turned away from the camera and covered her face. The moment became even more awkward when a woman nearby laughed excessively. The entire scene played live on the big screen before thousands, then millions, of viewers.
According to public records, both executives are married but reside at separate addresses from their spouses.
Memes flooded social media. One user joked: ‘I thank Coldplay for bringing the nation together. For one day, you fixed us.’ Another compared their pose to the iconic scene from Titanic, while someone else quipped, ‘This man does not like to see the CEO approaching,’ accompanied by a picture of Chris Martin at the piano.
Others shared mock board meeting images, created Coldplay-themed mashups, and even predicted new songs inspired by the incident.
Byron and Cabot have yet to issue a public statement, but the event provides positive exposure for their company.
Reports indicate Byron has removed his social media and LinkedIn accounts following the viral video.
Meanwhile, Megan Kerrigan Byron, an educator and school administrator from Massachusetts, is the wife of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron.
A viral video showing Andy Byron with a colleague at a Coldplay concert has drawn public interest to her background.
Professionally, Megan holds the position of Associate Director of the Lower School and Admissions for the Hope Graham Programme at Bancroft School in Worcester, Massachusetts.
The programme supports students with language-based learning differences. Her role demonstrates a long-standing commitment to inclusive education, student advocacy and administrative leadership.
Following the video’s circulation, social media users observed that Megan removed “Byron” from her Facebook profile name before deactivating both her Facebook and Instagram accounts.
These actions occurred without any public comment from Megan, her husband or representatives of Astronomer.
No verified public statements or interviews have been issued by Megan since the incident. Her professional background remains focused on education and student development. The attention she has received highlights how private individuals can quickly become central figures in viral news stories.
While the scandal continues to attract headlines, Megan’s withdrawal from social media appears to reflect a desire for privacy as events unfold.
The apparent wife of the tech tycoon, exposed for having an alleged affair with a co-worker on a jumbotron at a Coldplay concert, received online support on Thursday. Fans praised her decision to remove her married name from her Facebook page.
As the drama became global news on Thursday, internet sleuths identified Megan Kerrigan Byron as the jilted wife of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, who was seen embracing his head of HR, Kristin Cabot, during the concert.
