Husband of HR Director Kristin Cabot Breaks Silence After Shocking Coldplay Kiss Cam Footage

In a stunning new twist that has rocked the tech and media worlds, Andrew Cabot, CEO of Privateer Rum and the legal husband of Kristin Cabot, has finally spoken out after a “kiss cam” video from Coldplay’s concert at Gillette Stadium, Boston, on July 16, 2025, exposed an intimate moment between his wife and Astronomer CEO Andy Byron. The footage, capturing Kristin Cabot, Astronomer’s Chief People Officer, in a cozy embrace with Andy Byron in front of tens of thousands of fans, has become the epicenter of a social media firestorm, racking up nearly 50 million views in just 24 hours.

In his first statement, sent to the New York Post on the morning of July 19, Andrew Cabot expressed his heartbreak and disappointment: “‘I trusted in a marriage built on honesty. Seeing that moment on the big screen, in front of the world, was a shock beyond words.’” His voice was steady but laced with pain as he requested privacy for himself and his stepson, Henry, during this challenging time. Andrew’s statement sent shockwaves through social media, with hashtags #ColdplayCheaterCam and #JusticeForAndrew trending on X as users rallied in support, expressing sympathy for the betrayed husband.

The incident unfolded when the “kiss cam” at Coldplay’s concert unexpectedly panned to Andy Byron, who is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, and Kristin Cabot, who were sitting close together, arms around each other, swaying to the music. Realizing they were on the jumbotron, Kristin covered her face in panic, while Andy ducked to avoid the camera. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin quipped on stage, “Look at those two… either they’re having an affair, or they’re just shy!” The lighthearted jab unwittingly ignited a media crisis, as the clip, posted by concertgoer Grace Springer on TikTok, exploded across platforms like X, Instagram, and Reddit.

Reactions from Involved Parties
Astronomer, a $1.3 billion data technology company, swiftly issued a statement on X, confirming that both Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot have been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. “We expect our leaders to be exemplars of ethics and accountability,” the statement read, also debunking a fake apology letter attributed to Andy Byron that circulated online. Meanwhile, Megan Kerrigan Byron, Andy’s wife, quietly removed “Byron” from her social media accounts and deactivated her Facebook page, a move netizens interpreted as a powerful, silent statement.

As for Kristin Cabot, DailyMail.com revealed that she remains married to Andrew Cabot, with recent property records from February 2025 showing the couple co-owning a $2.2 million home in Rye, New Hampshire. Notably, Kristin was seen wearing her wedding ring in photos with Andrew’s stepson in April 2025, but the ring was conspicuously absent in the “kiss cam” footage. This detail has fueled speculation about an extramarital relationship with Andy Byron.

Social Media Frenzy
The online community has been relentless, digging into every detail of the scandal, from Andy Byron’s past public praise for Kristin when she was appointed Chief People Officer in November 2024 to mocking comments on their LinkedIn profiles. One X user quipped, “Taking your mistress to a concert and forgetting about the kiss cam? Andy Byron thought he was smarter than the world!” Another TikTok comment expressed sympathy: “Poor Andrew and Megan, finding out they were betrayed on a jumbotron in front of 60,000 people.” Memes and sarcastic posts have flooded the internet, with many dubbing the incident “Coldplaygate”—the most unforgettable corporate scandal of 2025.

Long-Term Fallout
The incident has not only tarnished the reputation of Andy Byron, once celebrated for driving Astronomer’s 292% growth in 2024, but also raised questions about leadership culture and workplace ethics. Former Astronomer employees have taken to X, alleging that Andy was known as a “toxic boss” due to his rigid management style, making his behavior less surprising to some. Meanwhile, Andrew Cabot, a successful entrepreneur in the rum industry, now faces unwanted public scrutiny, though he emphasized that his priority is protecting his family and stepson.

The “kiss cam” moment is more than an awkward spectacle—it’s a stark reminder of privacy’s fragility in the age of social media, where a single careless second can unravel reputations and relationships. Will Andrew Cabot and Megan Kerrigan Byron find peace after this storm? And what lies ahead for Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot at Astronomer?
