A video from a recent Coldplay concert featuring Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot has been in the public spotlight for quite some time now. It was a kiss cam clip from a July 16 show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
In the video, Byron and Cabot were spotted cuddling with one another. As soon as they realised they were on the giant screen, the two seemingly hid their faces. This led the band’s frontman, Chris Martin, to speculate that “Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy.”
The incident accidentally revealed the alleged affair between Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot to the world. Byron is the former CEO of Astronomer, who tendered his resignation last week following the company’s announcement about placing him on leave and investigating him after the video went viral. As reported by the BBC, Cabot, the HR chief of Astronomer, has also resigned as people officer of the company.

Kristin Cabot, the HR chief of Astronomer, has recently tendered her resignation from her position. The news came after a video featuring her and former company CEO, Andy Byron, at a Coldplay concert went viral. The clip has been a center of attention for the media and the public for several days.
In the viral kiss cam video, Kristin Cabot and Andy Byron swayed to Coldplay music while cuddling each other and enjoying the concert. However, soon they ducked their faces after realizing that they were on a giant screen. The situation left the whole gallery, including Chris Martin, seemingly stunned.
After Andy Byron left his position as the CEO of Astronomer, the company announced Pete DeJoy as interim CEO. DeJoy is the company’s co-founder and chief product officer. “The events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies – let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world – ever encounter,” DeJoy said in a recent update, per BBC.
